Accord EX 3.0L V-6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles

I brought this vehicle brand new in 2004 from Bryan Honda in Fayetteville, NC. At 30,000 mile I started to heard a noise as if i were dragging a chain under the car. i stopped to look under the car and nothing. I took it to the dealership and of course they couldn't hear the noise. I went back at 34,000 mile because the noise had become louder. Again they couldn't hear it. They took it to the maintenance bay and found.... nothing. I drove home about 9 miles from the dealership and waalaa the noise was still there. I took it back immediately . I had 3 service tech come to the car and they heard the noise. They took it to the bay and concluded that because I use synthetic oil, it (the Synthetic oil)is causing the car to sound this way. I am fed up with Honda. I have owned 4 Hondas before this without any mechanical issues. This will be my last one!!
