Car Forum / Honda Cars / April 2007New Civic problem
I have a 2007 Civic LX automatic with 500 miles on it. Today I noticed when I am driving between 1-5 mph I get a metallic scraping sound coming from the front somewhere. There is nothing dragging and it only happens when moving forward at a very low speed. I am taking it to the dealership to have it looked at soon but I am wondering what it could be and if I should be worried about driving it? > I have a 2007 Civic LX automatic with 500 miles on it.

It does not happen when I apply the brake and it mostly happens at very low speed and occassionally it will happen for half a second while driving at higher speeds (around 65-70 mph). This sound is similar to dragging a shovel down a concrete road. It is a very irritating sound that gets worse when I make a turn, but only at speeds less than 10-15 mph. I am taking it in tomorrow. > > That's the ABS system initializing itself. It's normal. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > I am taking it in tomorrow. Seems the problem was a rock that got stuck in the braking system, nothing to worry about :) I don't think ABS would have made noise like that, at least not for mine. Keep us posted on what the mechanic gonna say. _____________________________________ Free Tips to Save Car Gas Bill & Much More @ www.HowCanISaveMoney.com/tips03.htm > > That's the ABS system initializing itself.
