While driving down the highway we heard a horrible grinding sound. We pulled over and looked under the car. The engine sheild was dragging. We took it to the dealer and it was replaced at a cost of $405.03. Today 339 days after the part was replaced and 16,000 miles after the replacement the same thing happened. This time the shield actually fell off in the middle of the road. So we are going to replace it again. I was curious about if this was a common problem and it is. Often it occurs after an oil change when the mechanic fails to secure the shield properly. And often at honda dealers. Seems fishy to me. What can we do about this? Am i going to have to replace the shield every year?

While turning steering wheel at 180 degrees, grinding noises were heard. I returned the car to dealership. I was told that my left axle was failing. Only had the car for 8 months brand new. About 2 and half weeks later, the steering wheel felt stiff and the grinding noise returned while turning the steering wheel at 180 degrees. I took the vehicle back again and now I was being told that both left and right axels need to be replaced; however, honda warranty only covers one axel to replaced at a time. Now, I have to go back the following week to have my left axel replaced again as it is 'pre-failing' now.
