I started getting weird grinding noise. It was more loud at 2000 rpm. I took the car to dealer first time and they thought it is standard noise from Timing Chain. After few days of driving I was sure there was some issue. So I went back to dealer and this time they saw the car from under and found that Power Steering Pump was leaking which has cause problem to Steering Rack which was making so much noise. Dealer replaced power steering pump and rack under warranty. I was surprised that this could failed so early. But under warranty it saved me lot of money for repair.

this problem was more annoying than anything. whining and humming at low rpms while driving. Only had 13000 mi or so on the car when I had to have the power steering rack mount replaced. The dealer kept the car three days without offering a rental.I thought this is unheard of for a new car but the longer I drive it the more I learn about the #1 Selling Car in America. I will never by another Honda again
