Example complaints

“Brought my Honda Civic in for routine maintenance on 9/27/14. Was told I had a power steering leak and my entire power steering rack had to be replaced at a cost of $1200.00. I was told the leak is very slow and not an immediate concern but that it will get worse. This seems to be an ongoing problem with this particular make, model and year for the Civic. There should be a recall!”
NHTSA complaint #10639741, filed 2014-09, 128,300 miles“There was a lot of noise from the front end. I took to the dealer (mary sussman Honda, abington, pa) and they told me I needed a front end brake job (pads, rotor polishing etc). Two days ago (9/27/12) I had to take to have my rear bearing replaced and they told me I needed front brakes again. Now mileage is 44,500, so only ~18,000 miles from last repair. I think two brake jobs at 40k miles is not right.”
NHTSA complaint #10478174, filed 2012-10, 22,000 miles“I purchased new tires at 52,000 miles after rotating the old ones every 8,000 miles. The old tires on the passenger side wore uneven on both the front and the rear since I rotated them 5 times. I took the car back to apple Honda in riverhead,new york where I purchased it. The service tech. Said the rear right camber is out of alignment ,something is bent. You have to take it to a body shop .I think it came this way when I purchased it brand new in 2010.”
NHTSA complaint #10574352, filed 2014-03, 52,000 miles“I have a car with only 1800 miles and is 45 days old. I was driving and it seems that I had a flat. I pulled over and stopped the car and found that both front tires were completely bald and torn up. Honda is saying that the suspension has gone bad and it is probably because of me hitting a pothole or snow. This explanation does not make any sense as the damage to the tires and alleged damage to the suspension is too severe for me not to have noticed it.”
NHTSA complaint #10314770, filed 2010-02, 1,800 miles“I noticed when parallel parking that when I turned my steering wheel it would make a clicking noise coming from the drivers front. I drove again the next day and the noise got worse and started happening when I was turning my wheel while driving, and if I went over any bumps. I took my car in for servicing and they said that I needed my strut top replaced due to excessive wear and tear (I just bought the car 2 weeks prior)... Well, they fixed the part and I took my car home and less than a month later the piece went bad again and needed to be replaced.”
