Had mine for a month and a half. 3300 miles. Here are the problems (that I'm getting fixed this weekend):

Wrinkled Driver Side Door Molding
Rattling Headliner/Dash
Tick-Tick-Tick when stopped and windows are rolled up (can't hear it outside - was told this is common in other Accords)
Vibrations in steering wheel at 75-80MPH
Car pulls slightly to the right at high speeds
Left side of hood is 1/8" too high - doesn't line up properly
Center Storage Compartment Lid (below radio) sticks when trying to open
Transmission makes a 'click' sound when first starting out (only noticed just after I shift into Park or Reverse - this may not be a problem at all, just something that I don't think a new car should do)
Slight vibration throughout car when the car gets into 5th gear and I'm not travelling too fast - feels like the car is 'struggling' a bit, almost like driving a manual in 5th gear going 25 and trying to accelerate, there's a slight vibration I can feel in the gas pedal and steering wheel. (This may not be a problem at all either, just another thing I'm picky about)


Here are the problems caused by other A$$HOLES:
cracked windshield (from a stone falling off a truck - should have just chipped, but instead formed a 18-20" long crack)

ding in the left rear quarter panel from some careless idiot



Overall, I like the car a lot. These problems are minor compared to the crap I had to deal with on my 2000 A4.

I'm taking my car to the dealer sometime this week or next for the first oil change and I'm get most of these problems fixed. I hadn't thought about it, but it is a first-model-year car, and there are going to be inherent flaws. Let's hope the dealer understands this and makes an honest effort to fix them.
