I dont know if its just me but when i get in my car and start dricing it seems liek the passenger side areas starts creaking...its only after the car has been sitting for a bit, and usually just in the morningish hours. DOnt seem to notice it any other times. I knwo that is not a great description but does anyone else have a issue at all like this?

And i gotta throw this in :shit: because it is the most awesome smiley ever.

 

I have a similar issue, but it's just from the different parts rubbing again each other. They expand with heat and the creaking goes away. For me, I only get it if the weather is cold or the car has been sitting for a while. If the car's been out in the sun, then it's not a problem.

 

Interesting. Please, tell more.
Which parts are rubbing together? Is there a fix?

 

Ok, its good to know im not the only one, or im not going paranoid. Like you said, i notice that its happens more when its colder then when its hot, the car doesnt feel or do anything different just creaks.

Thanks for the info CGTSX

and again --> :shit: just because its damn funny

 

I have the creak at driver side.

 

I have a buzzing sound on the driver's side near the door lock. It kind of sounds like a plastic bag flapping in the wind.

 

I live in S. FL and I find when it is HOT i get a clicking noise coming from somewhere in the dash. It seems to be connected to turning my steering wheel slightly. I cannot tell you how annoying it is. After 10 minutes of running the A/C it seems to go away or maybe I become more tolerant. I also get a thumping sound when i apply the breaks. Anyone else with similar issues?

 

My last car was an Aurora, which advertised its rigid chassis. I believe Acura advertises the TSX as having among the most rigid chassis on the road.

The by-product of this rigidity is some creaking. Especially when on uneven surfaces. Good part is, it didn't get any worse on the Aurora over 10 years of ownership. And that car was rattle-free at 10 years too.

I'm gonna assume the TSX will meet or exceed my expectations in that regard.

 

I started having the same issue a few weeks ago. The source of the noise seems to come from the plastic parts rights under the silver trim between the steering wheel and the center stack. That's what at least seems to be causing the creaks when I turn the steering wheel after sitting in the sun for a few hours. The next time I take it in for service I'll ask them to take a look at things to see if anything came loose. Besides the occasional seatbelt rattle on the driver's side, the rotors I had replaced under warranty and the paint that seems all too eager to chip & scratch there have been no MAJOR problems.
