I'm not trying to necessarily start a new post on creaking front ends on our cars, but we did lose a lot of current info on that subject when this site melted down.
My car is currently on sportlines on stock struts. My front end has been creaking since about 26K miles and currently has 46K miles on it.
Here is my question. What feedback can anyone on this forum CURRENTLY give where they have talked to a Honda dealer or American Honda about this creaking issue, and have they been offered any assistance with dealing with the problem?
I took my car to the local dealership this week and showed them a copy of bulletin 05-023, which turns out to be an internal bulletin that they were surprised that I had a copy of. That bulletin stated that the first step to deal with the creaking rack was to first try to adjust it, which I had them do. That cost me $65.00, which they said was a 50/50 cost. If that didn't solve the problem, (which it didn't totally fix), then the dealer was to contact the zone office for goodwill consideration. I got word today that they're offering a 50/50 payment arrangement on a rack replacement.
Does anyone else have any feedback about their experience?
