Re: Clicking/grinding front end 1st-2nd gear
Just got off the phone with my Honda salesman about this problem (a mechanic by training, so he actually knows what he's talking about). Before even finished asking my question, he guessed it. He says the sound/grinding we're experiencing is the ABS brake system engaging. It will happen each time you start your car (but should only happen once right at the start which is why we generally feel it when we're in the 10-15mph ballpark changing from 1st to 2nd gear). Wish Honda had created a less alarming signal of ABS activation, but it's very comforting to know that this is totally normal and not indicative of any problems with the car!
Fyi, another time you may hear a similar sound (but not feel the grinding) is when you turn on your AC and your compressor is activated.
