“I have a 1993 Honda Civic hatchback. It is well known that in the early 1990`s, the rear wheel wells edges rust and perforate while the front wells do not. I have taken very good care of my car and it is otherwise in very good shape. On inquiry, to dealers and other Honda Civic owners they all say that in that time the sheet metal for the rear wells was inferior to the front wells and that Honda has since then corrected the problem...meanwhile I have a well cared for car that still runs well but has the ugly rust in those areas mentioned . Pls let e know if there is any recourse....thank you.. …”
