So I've been dealing with an issue I've had since I bought my car in Oct 2018.
Both my front doors rattle when I play music. Even at 12-14/40 volume. I have taken it to three dealerships. The first two couldn't identify a rattle, even after I offered to replicate it. So I said fuck them, I'm not taking it to either of them again, which is unfortunate since one is 5 min from my house.
So I took it to the dealer I purchased it from, which is 2.5 hours away from me. It was the only new black one left in Ontario so I had to go there. I saved a few songs I know cause the rattle onto a USB and left it plugged into the centre console for the techs. I get a call back while they're working on my car telling me they have identified the rattle and are checking with corporate if they can add insulation since the type r's don't have any door insulation like other civics.
They phone back again saying that Corporate said the car is as it should be out of factory and therefor they will not insulate the doors. They said if I want the rattle stopped, I have to take it to a car audio shop and pay out of pocket to insulate it. I told them that was rediculous becuase the speakers are stock and shouldn't cause a rattle out of the factory, so how can they say it's working as it should.
I've escalated the situation with Honda Corporate over the phone and will hear back from them in 10 business days.
Anyone else have an issue with front door rattles with music on? Thanks.
