"Poor quality Honda Accord"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A. Driver's door panel rattles. Initially when the car was driven on rough surfaces, but now at any time.
B. Driver's electric seat creaks. Loosely mounted.
C. Driver's window creaking noise. Window rattles when lowered - loosely secured.
D. Driver side B and C pillars creak excessively. Extensive rattling inside the plastic trims.
E. Front passenger's seat creaks at hinges/lower bolster - Loosely mounted.
F. Near side passenger door rattles.
G. Climate control generates occasional high pitch whizzing noise.
H. Rattling inside the rear bumper. Happens whenever the boot lid or any door is shut.
I. Excessive rattling noise from parcel shelf.
J. Squeaky brake pedal.
K. Excessive wind noise at speed from the driver side doors.
General comments?
The above faults developed within 2 weeks of delivery, I'm taking the car back for them to repair or replace.
Dealer service has been excellent though.
The car rides very well, but the quality of the interior is appalling.
