Really frustrated with the growling noise at 1400-1500 rpm's. It's
increased in volume now that it's a year old. After 6 visits to the
dealer I was told by an annoyed service man that the dealer cannot be
responsible for a manufacturer defect!! If not them, then who????? I
asked to drive other new models right off the lot, and sure enough, the
vibration was there. An old time service man told me that this was a
problem with a civic model about 10 yrs ago and that Honda did
eventually issue a service bulletin about emissions control parts that
caused the noise. Can you help this grandma save her sanity???? At my
age, this will probably be my final car and I dread the thought of
having to put up with the noise forever!

 

Does the 2006 civic have noise canceling feature? Some Hondas do and have
been problematic.
