Newbie here. Help! Son's new Accord Lx 4 cyl developed a whine (among other things). Dealer replaced the power steering pump. Now the whine is worse, but intermittently goes away. They claim it is exaclty the same as an '09 they compared it to. It is definitely the pump (listened to it with stethoscope), load doesn't matter. Any ideas or known TSB's? Lastly, how are your cars holding up? At delivery there was bubbled paint above the license tag, the panel below the steering column buzzed and rattled, and the right front hub bearing failed at 1300 miles ( that makes a real loud grunching noise!). Had to bring it back because they didn't set the steering wheel straight after alignment during bearing replacement. What a piece of garbage!

Wow, sucks for you. Sorry to hear it. Mine has been almost perfect for 11 months now. The only thing that caught my attention is clicking in the sunroof somewhere when driving. Drives me nuts but it's very small. Will get it fixed soon. Other than that it's been great. My first Honda so I hope it lives up to expectations....and not like your experience. Good luck to you.
