So, adventures in cars.. My wifes 2011 Accord 4 cyl 40,000 miles, car developed a cold start metal rattle last week lasting only about 1.5 seconds before disappearing, and only after the first startup or 6-8 hours of sitting. To Honda it went.. VTC is "faulty" and if your still in warranty Honda covers this.. 5 years 60,000 miles. We were slightly out of warranty by time.. I was obviously not happy. $850 repair. The very nice lady behind the counter did a bit a typing on her computer and gave me a $630 tag. Jobs done, car got picked up.. However we never got a notification, recall notice, nothing.. and this topic is all over the net. Seems pretty wrong to me. Im a Honda fan, owned 4 of them and a Acura, However im starting to think Toyota might be the next down the road..
