Well, the exhaust rattles and makes this weird sound like there's loose metal flying around like popcorn in a bag while in the microwave. It's rather annoying especially after spending $8,100 on the car. When you spend that kind of money in these hard times you don't want to feel like you've just been had! :(

Add me to this list of unhappy Honda owners. After doing some digging, I found out that Honda knew about this problem and extended the warranty to settle with the gov't. My car was only slightly out of this extended range but the the customer service person at Honda Headquarters, Torrance CA still refused any sort of compensation, good will or otherwise, saying "at some point the customer has to bear responsibility". Twenty years of Honda dedication evaporated at that point.
