my car rattles a lot, the other day i took it in to get it fixed, he said leave it overnight to get fixed. next day i showed up, nothing was done. they said they could't find the wheel lock so they did nothing even though they rotated tires week before. i took it back week later, they said they fixed it but still rattling. So far ive had something done to back passenger side for rattling and the interior break light fixed but they still rattle. im writing a letter to honda but my 3 years is almost up.
Basically what im trying to get at is. do i just print this out
go to the honda dealer and tell them to fix everything on the list. sorry to sound stupid buy im going tomorrow. feel free to tell me what to say even if its in quotes.
oh yea, my car is 2001 automatic lx with 34 thousand miles, only have 17" chrome rims and aem short ram intake. i will let u guys know what happens thanks 7th gen membs
Printing out that page _might_ work if the dealer is really helpful, but usually when folks talk about TSBs around here they mean the actual TSB itself, and what you found was only a list. Last time I checked, Honda and BMW were the only two companies that prevented Alldata from selling the individual TSBs (which you could print out).
Or, you could try checking NHTSA's website, because for a while they were posting PDF scans of Honda TSBs for free, but then they stopped (which is cr*p, because they are a federal agency, and they want to charge more for a single TSB than Alldata does for all of them. Why can't they just keeping scanning them like they used to????). If anyone in the DC area has time to go to NHTSA's "reading room", you could print out any TSB you wanted for free . . .and then post them here

MY CAR WHEN I BACK UP MAKES A POPPING NOISE BUT THERE IS NO TSB FOR IF THAT I SAW......
ITS NOT THE SUSPINSION (SPELLING) BECAUSE IT HAPPENS WHEN I BACK START UP AND WHEN I APPLY SOME BRAKE!
I wouldn't rule out the suspension... the slightest shift in weight (ie starting/stopping) can put a strain on your springs.
What model year do you have?
