Build Years/Makes/Models:	2001 HONDA CIVIC
Occurances:
Reference Number:	10069663
Summary:	THERE IS A WHISTLING NOISE COMING FROM, I BELIEVE, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. I FIRST HEARD THE NOISE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR HOME FROM THE DEALER ON MAY 5, 2001. HAS BEEN TO VANDERGRIFF HONDA 3 SEPARATE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID THEY COULD NEVER HEAR THE NOISE SO COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. THE THIRD TIME THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS AND STILL DID NOTHING EXCEPT SAID THEY THOUGHT THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE BACK BRAKES. SO THEY FIXED THEM. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. TWO WEEKS AGO TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER PURCHASED FROM. HE RODE IN THE CAR WITH ME FOR AT LEAST 50 MILES. NEVER HEARD THE NOISE. I LEFT THE CAR. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR 15 DAYS AND DID NOTHING. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE REPORT AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR THEY REPRODUCED THE NOISE, BUT COULD NOT FIND OUT WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. THE COPY OF THE SERVICE REPORT THAT I RECEIVED WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, SHOWS 9 HOURS TIME SPENT ON VEHICLE - DRIVING, TAPING, ETC. NOT A LOT OF TIME SPENT ON IT IN 15 DAYS. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA CASEWORKER AGAIN TODAY. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR YESTERDAY, AS SOON AS I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY THE NOISE STARTED. AFTER 10 MINUTES OF CONTINUAL WHISTLING I CALLED BACK THE SERVICE ADVISOR I HAD JUST LEFT AND HE HEARD THE NOISE. MY DAUGHTER AND GRANDDAUGHTER WERE ALSO IN THE CAR WITH ME. THE NOISE CONTINUED ALL THE WAY HOME. THE DEALER IS 1 HOUR FROM MY HOME. THAT IS THE ONLY REASON THAT I DID NOT TAKE IT TO THEM BEFORE. BUT WHEN VANDERGRIFF COULDN'T FIX IT, I WROTE A LETTER TO AMERICAN HONDA (9/10/02). FINALLY GOT A RESPONSE BACK FROM THEM THE END OF OCTOBER. AFTER WHICH WE AGREED THAT I WOULD TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED FROM. I HAVE ASKED AM. HONDA WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE RESPONSE IS NOTHING. SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY HONDA WILL MAKE THIS PROBLEM GO AWAY.
