2009 Honda Accord 4dr Sedan

177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD

Common prob to US built 8th gen accords is tail light area paint chipping caused by a too tight assembly. dealership "repaired" twice but shop apparently not quite up to the task. Considering a 3rd attempt although current condition is serviceable. 
29000 mi Squeaks and rattling in the trunk area. They did not tell us what was wrong, only that they put some foam between parts to fix it. 
39000 mi loud rattling in trunk that was "fixed" prior trip. they claim "normal" but finally fixed under pressure. Supposedly electrical line to brake lights. 
63000 mi Continuing rattling in trunk. Has occurred repeatedly since car was less than one year old. Unsure how they keep "fixing" it, but it goes away for a few months each time. 
300 mi Front end noise - no repair. Noise stopped before appointment. Shop foreman test drove car with me for 30 minutes or more. Could not duplicate. Definitely was a mechanical noise. 
25000 mi Three trips related to a rattle under the rear speakers. A TSB was sent out and a fix introduced by Honda. In additional cross member (small) was added under the rear speaker shelf that stabilized the structure and solved the problem.
