Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Like others with this problem we noticed a noise from the tires when we were on a newly paved road on an extended trip. When we returned home, I was told by the dealer that the rear tires were cupped and the car would need an alignment. We ended up replacing all 4 tires with 20000 miles on them...a lot sooner than anticipated. Researching the problem I saw there was a correction for 2008 civics, but not for 2009. Either the problem was not corrected, or we were unfortunate to purchase a 2009 early in the production run that was not corrected. …”

“Takata recall while dealer has told me air bag was completed, it was sold to me with an open entry or questionable completion. Upon driving the car I found it felt shaky & was told they would fix any problems however now that I have taken it in twice and it has stayed there over a week, and then taken home (without my approval) by service manager, when I still complained that it doesn't feel so stable and maybe we should call off the deal or trade for another car, I was told.. Deal is done, the car is yours, we've spent $$ to fix things . …”
