Hello everyone. I have a 2003 Accord EX-V6 sedan and I have just started to notice a strange metallic, almost jingle bell sound when I turn the wheel to the right. In addition to jingle bells, I also hear a strange whining sound when backing. Two new noises on the same day, lucky me I guess. Has anybody experienced anything similar? My temporary solution has been to turn up the stereo but I figure I should get it checked before it gets too bad.

PS Does anyone else get a rotten egg smell in their Accord every once in a while (it's not me, I swear.) :thmsup:

Welcome!

Have you had the tranny replaced or updated yet?
SB 03-091 located in the Factory Direct area of this forum might help with the sulfur smell.

Brakes??? Sounds like rear ones.... "jingle bells" when forward & whining in reverse..... it's a Honda special indicator noise!!! :lmao: If it had been Spring it would've been Peter Cotton Tail!!! :nuts:

Ditto about the rotten egg smell....check the bulletin SOME is normal when under a load for quite a while since unleaded gas has some sulfur in it. But too much could be what the bulletin says.

Welcome to the forum Rottenappel!! :wave:

Thanks, Princess, you were correct. The rear brakes were the problem and now Michelle (my Honda's name) is all set.

I will check out the forum as well. The smell only happens once in a great while and thankfully when I am the only one in the car.
