There is a violent shaking feeling coming from the engine area along with a loud constant rattling sound coming from the same area. This happens when driving and when stationary. The dealership said it was a tensioner (?) arm and charged me $580. The sound persists and is worse when the air conditioner is running. Also the back seat passenger side lock makes a loud buzzing noise when locked or unlocked.

The vehicles brakes are horrible, it the front rotors mostly, they deteriorate very quickly along with the high quality brake pads. I replaced the rotors at 70,000 and they are already getting damaged . There has been an unsettling vibration in the braking/steering system since we bought the car . I am convinced that honda no longer makes quality vehicles and the sooner they stop making cars the better. At 25,000…
