Hi everybody, i´m new here...been in Germany for a few years now and bought a brand new 2 litre FR-V Executive here five years ago....from the beginning, second gear selection has always been a chore in winter...very reluctant. dealer (always friendly, helpful) couldn´t find anything wrong, so we´ve stuck with it ´cause the car is basically a fantastically well-built, flexible (especially for a family of four) and reliable thing apart from: at 20,000km the airbag light would not go out, so dealer changed complete driver-side system under warranty. since then, absolutely NOTHING has gone wrong....more importantly, we´ve NEVER been left by the side of the road by this car. it has 90,000km (about 60,000 miles) behind it and, i don´t know if it´s just me getting paranoid (the car was always a bit noisy at speed anyway) or if something is possibly up with the front wheel bearings, since i notice a load moaning kind of sound from the left front when cruising at 80 - 100 km/h (60 mph or so) in sixth gear...which goes away when i drive faster.
Has anyone else experienced this?

welcome

not noticed any 2nd gear selection issues or noise at speed, but then again mines done 30k miles

i do have the occasional traction control kicking in when veering right which is annoying esp when not at any significant speed
