The car was making noise diagnosed by Honda as the transmission pump. Car had only 79,000 miles and was serviced regularly and all fluids are changed regularly. I had the transmission fixed elsewhere for half the price Honda wanted. I n,ever heard of a transmission problem at such a low mileage. Very disappointed in Honda.
I took my car for a wash and while I was waiting for my turn, I started hearing some noise coming from the engine-pitch sound. I got alarmed and I thought it will go. Later when I drove home, I parked my car in the garage and the noise continued. On the 03 oct 05 the sound increased in pitch but I am unable to diagnose where its coming from. For those who are familiar with sonar sound(navy ships), the noise sounds the same and high pitched.
