Hello All,
I've perused the site often and thought I'd finally join you all as I have some concerns and a couple of questions. I have something called MBI (mechanical breakdown insurance) and it expires in about 3 weeks. There is $250 deductible and Honda will charge about $90 to look at the vehicle. If they do find a problem that $90 becomes part of the covered costs minus the deductible. I'm trying to decide on whether the potential problems I'm seeing are going to cost me more than the $250.
1. When going over substantial bumps in the road there is a small thud or click sound on the left hand side. It doesn't happen all the time.
2. When backing out of the driveway in the morning there is a clunk sound. It happens sometimes, too, when shifting back into drive. It reminds me of when the U-joint goes bad on rear-wheel drive cars. That's the sound. I should mention, too, that the transmission was replaced about 1.5 years ago, but I don't know if that would have anything to do with it.
Are these issues that would cost a lot of money? These are intermittent problems. Any insight here is appreciated.
