Default Door/Dash Rattle

I have an '03 LX Sedan. I love the car, but it has two issues, both rattle related. First, when I have the radio on AM there is an intermittent buzz from the dash. And there is a rattle from the front passenger's door over bumps. Can a dealer track and fix these or am I going to have to live with it? This is my first Honda.

really ... don't try to fix it yourself, just go back to the dealer and complain about everything that's wrong. your car should be covered under the bumper to bumper and let them know your car isn't right.

Darn it.... I am having the same problem on my EX coupe. There are some noise on the driver's door. Please let me know how your Honda dealer handles your case, I will try to visit mine next week. Thx.

Default Problem Solved!

I took mine in, they lubricated the door, sound has gone away. They may have refitted the door too. It's an easy fix. Just take it in, covered under warranty.

I think I notice it more in my Accord than I would in a Chevy. It's like I expect the Honda to be perfect and silent. Like any machine, it will have flaws.

One dumb question: I bought my car from Dealer A, can I go to Dealer B to have the warranty work? It will be more convenience for me to do this because Dealer A's repair dept doesn't open on Saturdays and Dealer B's does.

I need to have this noise problem fixed before I go crazy hearing the rattles
