The trunk: I can hear a cranky noise from the right-hand side of the lid when I lift it up or try to close it. Front cup holder: It is not that easy to open the lid. When I push on the lid it sometimes gets stuck in the middle of swinging open. A rubber seal the dealership replaced before delivery: There is a gap between the rubber seal and windshield. I came by the next Friday, which was October 17th. The dealership gave me a new front cup holder, which is they had ordered for me last week. On the driver’s door, there is a distinct gap between the door interior panel and the door itself. I could easily look through the gap and see some electric circuits inside. The motor of my 2009 TSX automatic makes a rattling/knocking/pinging noise coming from the front around 2000-2500 rpm when accelerating.
