Clunking sound

2000 Honda Accord LX, VTEC, 4 cylinder 294000 miles
2000 Honda accord vtec 4cylinder manual transmission. I have a clunking sound sometimes when turning, not always though, sometimes the clunking sound happens when I shift into gear when driving straight but will stop as soon as I put it back in neutral. The sound doesn't happen all the time, there is no pattern to it.

Rattling clunk noise in front end at low speeds.

2012 Honda Accord EX-L V6 Manual 147000 miles
I have been hearing this rattling clunking noise coming from my front end when driving at speeds below 30 mph. It doesn't matter if any of the pedals are engaged or not. I hear the noise at low speeds only regardless of smooth or rough/bumpy surface. I have had the suspension done (front struts replaced), as well as my timing belt (really don't think that had anything to do with the problem, and I knew the suspension wasn't the issue as the noise does not happen when going over speedbumps etc.). They have "checked" everything ball joints, control arm, tie rods and no one can figure out what is… Read complete

Check charge system

2016 Honda Accord Sedan 161089 miles
About 3 weeks ago my car would randomly not start. The battery was only about 15 months into a 100 month warranty so I took it to Honda and had it replaced. Not long after that or right about the time I was jumping it off with jumpbox, it started make a racket ,which sounded like the handle that had fallen off the jump handle which fell down into front drivers side under hood and like it was clunking around in the fan. I took it to a supposedly great family-owned automotive shop The guy looked at it and listen to it and said it sounded like the bearings in the alternator were going out but I… Read complete

Check your ground connections. I have a 2006 v6 that had the same issues with not charging the battery even though the alternator and battery were replaced. The old alternator tested good so I unnecessarily threw away $270 bucks. The issue for me I eventually discovered, was the side engine mount bracket bolts had sheared and severed the ground connection. There’s a ground cable that bolts to the mount bracket. I replaced the bracket (the bolts were seized so I had to replace the whole thing) and problem solved.

It's definitely a process of elimination and a work in progress I'll let you know the outcome
Stickerpie from United States 2 years ago
They told me, the guy at the repair shop that put in the new alternator which was not putting out enough voltage and then in turn put in another alternator which is when I was getting the check charge system occasionally pop up on the dash said that that alternator was overcharging so I'm having a third alternator put in and we will see the outcome...
Tomato from United States 2 years ago
Sounds like you are chasing your tail. And the odds that you have two failed alternators is highly unlikely. At this point I’d be looking for an electrical repair specialist who can find the real issue. Most technicians will just keep throwing parts at the problem. Which obviously isn’t fixing it

My car is doing the same thing! 2015 Honda Accord Sport. 2 starters now won't crank up without by passing the ignition switch or Relay under the hood #31 black box in the fuse compartment.
Trev from United States 2 years ago
So i have a 2014 exl i go to hit the push button start everything lights up i get one click and thats it battery tests perfect called honda cause i bought the 3 hear warranty they said key fob batteries that didnt do it so i was messing with the fuse box and bam starts right up... Next day same shit i get out tap the top of the fuse box and it starts right up.... Which relay was it in the 2015?
Tomato from United States 2 years ago
@TrevThere should be a diagram under the fuse box cover that tells you what relays and fuses are where. Try switching the starter and or ignition switch relay with an identical one from another socket. If the starting issue goes away, then you know it’s a bad relay
Fefe from United States 2 years ago
Um, it's down on the right side of the battery. Underneath the light sockets
Fefe from United States 2 years ago
I now have it to the point of taking battery cables off then on and it starts but won't fire up again until I repeat that process

Noise coming from the steering wheel area.

2024 Honda Accord Steering wheel 14000 miles
I own a 2024 Honda Accord (Petrol) that I purchased about one and a half years ago. For approximately the past year, I have been experiencing an unusual noise coming from the steering wheel area.
Whenever I turn or slightly move the steering wheel, I hear a loose rattling sound, as if a small component is moving or shaking inside the steering column. The noise resembles something loose inside the steering assembly.
The issue is noticeable even during light steering movements and is not related to road conditions. It appears to originate from inside the steering wheel or steering column itself.

Sounds like you either have a faulty steering column or some parts came loose after installation, if you still have warranty on your vehicle I would take it back to the dealership for repair.

To: nthsa i had purchased a brand new honda accord in march 2014 and soon after i noticed a rattling noise in the steering wheel. I took it for repair to the dealership and they took me on a test drive to hear the noise and they attempted to fix it without success. The rattling noise is not always present and it comes unpredictably therefore every time i go to the dealership they want me to drive it and replicate the noise which is sometimes not possible. I have recordings of the noise and they would not accept that to fix the car. A representative from honda corporate office had personally… Read complete

Problem 2010 Honda Accord LX 4cyl

2010 Honda Accord LX Sedan 2.4L 5A 3000 miles
Excessive oil consumption. I am putting 1-2 quarts oil every 3000 miles, even though the oil life indicates 80% or better. I bought this car new and just noticed this about 9 months ago. The oil is not leaking, it is just gone. Also when i start the car first thing in the morning or when is is cold, the top of the engine makes a rattling noise. There is also a loud pronounced noise that sounds like it is either the engine or the transmission, something doesn?t sound right. I am taking it to the dealer to have it checked out.

2010 Accord LX problem

2010 Honda Accord LX Sedan 2.4L 5M
The past two times i have brought the car in for an oil change i have been told that the oil level is below the dipstick. Both times i have brought the car in for an oil change with 20% oil life showing. Shifting from 2nd to 3rd sometimes gets "blocked". That is the only way i can describe it, you go to shift and cant get into gear, either have to go back to 2nd or back to neutral and then back in. The "double pump shift" usually works. I have also had a problem with the speaker deck rattling which i had supposedly fixed under warranty but only to have the same problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda accord. The contact stated that a rattling noise emerged from the transmission and made a loud sound. There were no warning indicators illuminated.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,370.

This is a nightmare. Honda accord 2014. Last night my windows and sunroof automatically opened; there have been other random electrical problems, see below.

Popping and clunking noises in driver's side front end were due to improperly torqued lock nut on driver's side strut. Dealer inspected it and determined it was not compromised, so reinstalled it; therefore it must not have been defective, but improperly torqued.

Upon being handed the keys to my brand new 2014 honda accord i noticed a lot of scratches near the doors. I thought it odd since it's a keyless entry car. The salesperson agreed that there shouldn't be scratches, and said those would probably come out, and offered me a courtesy "buffing. " after taking possession of my new car, i noticed a clunking noise when backing out of my driveway and pulling onto the street. I also noticed it took more work to steer the car than my other car which i bought new five years ago. I also noticed some tape on both sides of the front bumper that hadn't been re… Read complete

The noise coming from the passenger side under the glove box when the air is on is annoying and pretty loud. The radio can't even conceal the sound at low volume. Likewise, the glove box isn't latched according to the lines of the dash (1 cm gap). The glove box moves and rattles. The seat also rattles and shakes when going over any surface whether highway or city streets... These noises are just too much. The car is 09 not 1988. Actually 1988 probably wouldn't have all these problems. The deal said the air noise is normal??? sorry it's not normal to not be able to talk to someone because the car feels like it's breaking down and noise is coming from every direction.

2013 Honda Accord issues

2013 Honda Accord EX-L Sedan 2.4L CVT
Right front suspension makes a metal to metal squeal noise when turning to the left while the wheels are rolling. Crown honda, durham, nc replace three parts in the right front suspension under warranty as directed by honda tech line on nov. 20, 2012. However, as of dec. 5, 2012, the squeal noise has returned when turning to the left and the right front suspension now makes a clunk noise when traveling over small dips in the roadway. Since the noise sounds like metal to metal rubbing, i'm concerned about breakage of these moving parts and my overall safety. *tr

2009 Accord EX-L problem

2009 Honda Accord EX-L Sedan 2.4L 5A
There is a known fabrication defect of the steering column on honda accord 2009 model. A service bulletin was issued by honda corporation regarding this issue in 2009. The lower bearing of the steering column was mis-installed. As a result, the steering column makes a clunk noise when the steering wheel is turned. I first brought this issue to the attention of the honda dealership soon after i purchased the car in october 2009. They did not do anything about it. Meanwhile the steering became sticky. In other words the bearing in causing binding. I am afraid that at a sudden turn of the steering wheel, the bearing might shatter and lock up the steering column. I consider this to be a serious safety issue. *kb
