Our '04 Accord makes a crunching sound when going over speedbumps. The
dealer says it's a leaking strut and will be replaced. The sound started
when the car was a few months old. Everything else about the car was great.
Can you trash Honda quality because of one bad part?

:>Oh yeah, that reminds me. I did have something replaced under warranty
:>on the front end, some kind of stabilizer bar that was worn and caused
:>a clunking noise. I was wondering if this represented a trend in lower
:>quality for the Accords, or if I just got unlucky with my 2002...

: I have seen no essential difference in quality between our '99, which
: never went back for repair, and our '03 which went back once. Both
: great cars. The '03 is just a lot "greater." :-)
