Rattle noise on cold start up. vtc actuator replaced under warranty and now same problem again after 10;000 miles. from my reading and speaking to several auto mechanics, this is a common problem with this model of car and it seems like honda of america has not taken responsibility for addressing this problem adequately. i think a recall of this engine or an extension of the warranty should be required.
