IMHO, vehicles and motor oils are much better today than even 5 years ago. Early and frequent changing of oil does nothing more than waste money and resources. Of course, it may give you the warm fuzzies as well but I stand by my thoughts on doing what the book - or the minder - says.

EIther the dealer (who exactly, the saleman who probably knew nothing about the problem) was not very knowledgeable, or was a bold-face liar, but either way the dealership should step up, assuming there really is a problem. It is possible they can just reset the codes and it won't recur, since sometimes monitoring systems like that can get confused and throw a false positive.
In any case, get it back ASAP to find out what the problem is, and take action based on what you find out.

*binding on the manufacturer, not the product owner. If Joe Owner is dissatisfied with the arbitrator's call, he's then free to hire a lawyer, have a go at litigation, and take his chances. If the manufacturer is dissatisfied with the arbitrator's call, it's just too darned bad - "binding" means the manufacturer has no appellate rights through the courts to have the arbitrator's ruling vacated. He be stuck.
Thanks.
Do these steps.
1)report to honda customer service. open a case with them
2) go to dealer every time you hear noise.
3) if your problem occurs more then 3 times make it a lemon law case
i did the same thing.
it took more then 2 years to come to this point but my case is still weak together all of us we can win, i believe.
Let honda know we are nofools for money we paid,
I live in NJ. Will go to tirerack.com to check out
the Michelin tires.
Happy New Year to you all!

1) I turn the indicator light , and the normal tick-tock starts
2) Then when I turn my wheel even by 1/4 rotation while indicator is on , I get this sound from the steering column
3) this sound also jerks the steering wheel ever so slightly.
4) this sound can be heard 3-4 times during a sharp turn (more than 1/4 rotation), but it is fine during lane change.
5) this sound is repeatable even with the car stationary
6) my car is only 1.5 months old
PLEASE HELP
Bear with me on this a second, and I'll try to explain what it is.
Have you ever taken a turn (with signal on) that was not sharp enough to cause the blinker to turn back off when the turn was completed, meaning you have to shut it off yourself (or during a lane change like you said it was fine and didn't click)? That is because that "click" threshold wasn't reached. With each 1/4 turn of the wheel, the blinker mechanism resets, so that when the wheel goes back by the last "click point" that you went by, the blinker turns off.
Next time you drive it, turn past the point of the first click, then start turning the wheel back towards "straight" again. Did you notice the blinker shut off at the same angle as the last click you heard? If it did, that is likely what you are hearing. I can feel it in the wheel when it is working, but it's very slight, like someone else thumped the wheel with me holding it.
I hope this helps, and if it doesn't, I'll be happy to continue clarifying this for you.
Here is a link to the process taking place and what is causing the audible "click" from HowStuffWorks.com Watch the little animation (you'll have to click the green Play button at the bottom left corner of the box - the box is towards the bottom of the page you'll be linked to)
*and make sure the tech they assign has normal hearing ability...
You need to adjust your instruments to full brightness then. With your headlights on, turn the "reset" knob next to the speedometer clockwise - the lights should get brighter and brigher. Eventually, you will hear a beep, which means they have reached full brightness, and are at the same level they will be at when the lights are off. (PLEASE READ YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL TO ANSWER FURTHER QUESTIONS - IT'S A LOT OF HELP! )
You SHOULD ALWAYS DRIVE WITH YOUR LIGHTS ON WHEN IT RAINS. Even with daytime running lights, you want low beam headlights, so your taillights will illuminate as well.
Is it possible to install a pair of fog lamps on SE?
Any idea how much would it cost?
Instead of a yellowish fog lamp, could it be a white lamp
but about the same size as a fog lamp?
Thanks,

The Accord has a dealer-installed foglamp option, so I imagine adding them yourself is a viable option.
But........
This noise was not there (as far as i remember ) when i got it from dealer. I can verify that on the weekend ,my friend just bought another accord.
The normal sound when the turn lever comes back to normail after a turn is a THUD.
I noticed the sound comming 6-8 times now when I rotate the wheel completely, once during turn and once during straighten ... :confuse:
I hear the "clicks" when making the turn, multiple clicks when the turn is tight enough to make a full revolution of the steering wheel. At the point of steering angle of the last click is where the stalk will return to the normal position (when straightening out your steering angle) with the 'thud.'
I'd suggest asking a salesman to crank another Honda up and let you use the signals sitting on the lot, and see if you don't experience the same thing.
Thank you both for your information.
I didn't know it is that expensive for a pair of
fog lamp. But thank you just the same.

Just wondering if you have them on your accord.
Any idea how well do they work? My area has a lot of
deers. Just crashed my old minivan by a deer. I thought with fog lights I could see them better at night when there are cars from opposite direction and I could not turn on high beams.
Thanks.
And I love the V6 - effortless!
