When i parked my car in the garage today, as i was walking in i noticed an odd hissing-like sound coming from my car. At first i thought it was the front right tire, but as i came to the front of the car the sound was still as prevalent. Is this a normal sound after a drive? or...should i start Q_Q'ing

were you running your air condition today? Because it is the compressor releasing pressure.

We all were paranoid over it in our first 6 months :-P I asked the same question a year ago when it first started getting warm out. Took it to the dealership and everything.. Boy did I feel dumb. I also didn't know you had to press and hold the emergency button on the fob for the alarm to go off, so I went in complaining that my fob didn't work.. Yeah felt stupid about that one too

ok im sorry...what's fob stand for O_o

and yeah i know i just noticed 2 really small chips on the edge of the hood, but bleh its so small i think taking it in for a touch up would make them more obvious
the rest of the entire front is perfectly fine though ;P

lol, if you buy the touch up paint from the dealer when you touch it up if you do it correctly anyway and don't use that gigantic brush they give you it looks good and not obvious at all. I recently got my hood replaced and repainted at a body shop and they did a great job painting it doesn't chip as easily and in a month hasn't chipped yet.

FOB?
Forward Operating base of course! :-P

No, really lol fob in regards to a key fob is just another name for a key chain or something of the sort.. I'm not entirely sure where it was made up lolol but it's just used as another word for key chain, which your key really is it's a big key chain that you put your other keys on but this one starts your car lolol

Noctis14

LOL

thanks for the info, think ill do that when i decide to go in for a touch up

- upon further inspection ive concluded it was a evil rock because my grill has a little hit too. RAAAAGEEE

Lol I've had bricks bounce over 3 cars to hit mine, I've had large rocks bounce across three lanes to hit mine. i've had huge stones thrown up from small cars into my windshield.. The car is just a magnet because you love it so much.

I just picked up my 2010 Palladium Metallic base 4 TSX today. I pulled her in to the garage and I heard the hissing as well. It was fairly loud in a quiet garage. I thought maybe something was lose with a hose for the coolant. I opened the hood to check to see where it was coming from and it seemed to be up front. I called my salesman up to make a note of it and he asked one of the tech and he mentioned the A/C discharging. I never heard it i my 07 TSX. I'm thinking it's normal and will keep an eye on it. It's a new car so it should be fine. BTW, the car is awesome. It's much improved over the 2007 model.

Do a good touch up of the spots, then treat your car with Zaino products (ZAIO, Z5, ZCS). It will create and impenetrable force field around your front bumper/hood and prevent chipping.
