TSX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 92,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Every winter when the engine is cold and you start the car an extremely loud grinding noise happens just after the engine has turned over. It happens every year during the December to January time period and has never been fixed, all though we mention it every time the car has been in for service.
