“I have a Honda Civic-2010 that I bought brand new on 2/14/10. On 7/23/10, my AC started running hot-took it to the dealer and they said a rock punctured my AC condenser. This will cost me $830. I understand that there are numerous complaints with this same issue. I wish I knew that before I bought this car.”

NHTSA complaint #10345934, filed 2010-07, 8,414 miles

“The condenser unit in my 2010 Honda Civic ex has expired. I took it in for an oil change a little over a week ago, and ever since then, the A/C hasn't worked. I returned to the dealer this morning and the service guys insisted that the condenser was puntured by road debris. The manufacter warranty won't cover the cost to repair the damage, nor will my easy care insurance cover it. I purchased this car 7 1/2 months ago brand new.”

“Car was making squeaking noise when driving brought car to dealership they state at 7400 miles front brakes need to be replaced. This is ridiculous. They say it is from aggressive driving this is nuts they will no cover replacement of pads and tell me it is from rear brakes not being adjusted.”
