strange bonk under drivers floor - Click HERE for Original Thread

Hi All,

I have been lurking for awhile and thought that I would post a question. When I stop sharp I hear bonk as if a weight is on a string and it swings forward and then it hits the floor. Any ideas?

Thank you for your help

Search for gas tank slosh. It sounds like a bowling ball rolling around when you stop or accelerate quickly.

I agree with JL_SS, another feature that has been around for a while.....at least Acura didn't charge us for it!:3:

Teevee, my problem is most likely the same. Hear it most on slow turns. The car is at the dealer now. Rear shock bolts installed as per service bulletin. They are also ordering a new left front strut assembly. Hope this does it. Picking up the car tomorrow. I'll post the results.

TeeVee has a 2003, which did not have baffles in the fuel tank. The noise he describes upon stopping sharp (and accelerating quickly) was common. Somewhere around 2004/2005 Acura added baffles and complaints about the bowling ball rolling around stopped.
