Just checking in to say I just had to take it to the dealer for the 5th time to have gravel removed from the brakes.

Just for the record, I took it in the other day for the 4th time to have gravel removed. Initially, the dealership put it on a lift, did an initial inspection, and couldn’t find it, speculating that perhaps it fell out in the process. I’ve noticed that the problem is intermittent, but backing...

I love this car, but I currently have it in for the third time to deal with gravel in the brakes. :( I sure wish Brembo or Honda would address this...

Heh, I had the same issue with my wife; “It doesn’t suit you or our family!” :). I’m 46 and I love it! (I won’t say it’s beautiful, but I do like how aggressive it looks, and the performance is my priority.). I had a ‘00 PY ITR, and also knew I had to have one again when they came out with the...

On Friday, my sixth day of ownership, I took my buddy out to lunch & we heard a horrible screeching/scraping sound coming from the front left wheel. Did a ton of visual inspection, couldn’t see anything amiss. It ended up being really intermittent. For a while it was only when turning left...

I couldn’t agree more. I gave my dealer my Si for my lease payoff which was about $1k less than kbb. But, it was keyed on 3 panels; my insurance should cover that. I paid $1k over for the R, though he covered the transport ~250 miles, trading for the color I wanted. He says that would be...

R-23430 checking in. https://www.civicx.com/threads/2017-si-2019-r-super-happy.36876/ I love this color! My Si was Aegean Blue, which I really enjoyed, but decided to go a bit more subtle with the R. I think the PMM really shows off the lines.

I’m hesitant to say this, given that I’ve only driven it in the rain/on wet roads, but I suspect this may be the best-handling car I’ve ever driven. And I’ve driven some really good cars (ITR, S2000, 135i w/Performance Suspension, 2013 Si w/Eibach Pro Kit Anti-Roll bars & springs, 2017 Si)...

I enjoyed the Si, but always wished it were dialed up just a bit more, mostly in terms of handling. And I’m not a fan of the heavy flywheel & rev hang; rev matching was a job, not a joy. I understand why they made some of the trade-offs from the previous gen (I drove a ‘13 for 4 years), but...

In fact, you can get to the beginning of Pinehurst from Redwood, along that route. That’s my absolute favorite! :) I’ve been driving all over those roads since I got my license. I grew up in Pleasant Hill, and am lucky to live here as an adult. I work in Berkeley, so I often drive Alhambra...

Redwood Road, from Skyline Equestrian Center to Redwood Canyon Golf Course is one of my favorites.

This is another thread about the issue: https://www.civicx.com/threads/a-c-system-noise-whistling-lets-sum-all-the-information-pals.28609/

‘17 Civic Si, checking in. Dismayed to see not much has changed since I posted about this a year ago. Glad to see this thread. I really hope a solution is found!

Any updates, guys? My car is due for service soon, so I’ll see if my dealership has any new information, but I’d love to hear about any solutions others have found...

Has anyone had success getting this fixed? Is there a TSB from Honda? I live with it, but don’t like it. My wife hates it.

My roof rattles when closed too. :-/ The service guys said they had to order a headliner to be able to begin the work, but they never notified me that it came in. I eventually asked, and it did, but I haven’t had time to deal with it yet. Now my driver’s side window is squeaking, and there’s...

It might be worth checking to see if it’s related to the A/C. I hear a whine at low speeds under partial throttle, but only when A/C is on. Dealer hasn’t been able to solve, and apparently affects some CTRs too: https://www.civicx.com/threads/whine-or-flutter-from-transmission-in-1st-gear.16693/

So I took my car in, and they “evacuated and recharged “ the A/C coolant, but no change; the whine is still present. Definitely goes away when A/C is off. They said they’ve had a few with the same issue, including a Type R. Current advice is to wait for Honda to issue a fix. I really do...

Try using the automatic climate control, which does have a physical knob. No, you can’t adjust just the fan speed, or which vents are in use, but it works pretty well. I was against the concept of automatic CC for a while, thinking I really cared about the specific controls. Now, having...

DATA POINT: I did some experimenting in better conditions than I had briefly done before, and I can confirm that the whistling sound is immediately gone when I turn off the Climate Control system, which I almost always have on Auto. It returns when I turn it on again. There may still be a tiny...
