Is it just me?

I bought my '06 TSX back in April of this year. I really like how the car drives and the value that I got for my money, but what I am really not liking so far is this:

- Headlight condensation (replaced under warranty)
- Chrome peeling off front grille (replaced under warranty)
- Steering making loud clunk sounds (tightened loose suspension components)
- Rear doors grinding (re-adjusted/re-lubed under warranty)
- Front doors rattling (partially fixed, needs more work)
- A/C makes intermittent woop sound when coming to a stop
- Very annoying whistling sound coming from the engine when going over 65mph
- Driver's seat notches forward when braking
- Steering wheel intermittently vibrating when braking

This is on a 2 year old luxury car with 25K miles. ...So far.

Am I just being too picky? I am kind of getting annoyed with all the little problems.

Check the VIN and make sure you didn't buy an 04. I thought all or at least most of those problems were fixed by 06.

first 06 I've ever heard of with headlight condensation.
are you SURE you have an 06?

as for the rest...

sounds like you bought a piece.

sounds like you bought a car some kid beat the hell out of for a while.

and by the way, it's not a luxury car.
it's a sports sedan that has a few luxury options.

no, you're not picky, the car is trash.

the grille is expected. all fake chrome peels and such on all cars.
rock chips.

the rest, like the doors and seat are not cool.
the brakes could be the rotors.

I really doubt that. The thing is, most of the problems I have are somewhat common problems on the TSX. What sucks for me is that my particular TSX has a combination of them, instead of just one or two problems like in most cases.

I still have 2 years of warranty left on it, so I am not overly concerned. Just annoyed more than anything.
