2010 Honda Civic

BOUGHT 2010 HONDA CIVC IN THE EARLY PART OF 2010. AT THE END OF THE 2010I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE BRAKES (OVER $ 200.00). IT IS NOW THE END OF 2011 AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AGAIN. MY CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 35000 MILES ON IT AND IS BARELY 2 YEARS OLD. I CALLED HONDA TO SEE IF THE BRAKES I BOUGHT IN 2010 WERE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE NOT AND I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE NEW BRAKES. *TR

THE BRAKES PULL AND MAKE TREMENDOUS NOISE WHEN STOPPING SHORT AND THEY PULL AND MAKE NOISE WHEN TURNING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. THEY RUMBLE, SCREECH, AND SKID. IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS STICKING. THE CAR IS GETTING 17 TO 20 MILES TO THE GALLON ON SURFACE STREETS AND FREEWAYS WITHOUT THE AIR-CONDITIONING. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SAYS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND HONDA SAYS ALL THE CARS DO IT, SO IT ISN'T A LEMON. THE HONDA CIVIC I TEST DROVE DID NOT DO IT. ALSO, THERE WAS SOME BENT METAL UNDERNEATH THE CAR TOWARD THE CENTER. THE CAR HAD 11 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT NEW AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN DROPPED WHEN UNLOADING IT FROM THE TRAILER. THE SALESMAN WORKED HARD TO SELL ME THIS PARTICULAR CAR. IT FRIGHTENS ME AND IT FRIGHTENS MY PARENTS WHEN WE DRIVE IN IT. I DO NOT THINK IT IS SAFE AND I FEEL THERE IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN WHEN THE BRAKES GO OUT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE FOR A FEW MOMENTS WHEN SHE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARD. THE VEHICLE THEN BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD UNTIL CRASHING INTO A RAVINE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING YARD. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS CLASSIFIED AS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I PURCHASED MY BRAND NEW HONDA CIVIC IN 3/2010 (IT ONLY HAD 11 MILES). ABOUT 7-8 MONTHS LATER, I NOTICED THE CIVIC WAS MAKING WIERD BRAKING NOISES. IT WOULD COME AND GO. BUT IN 2/2011 (LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER MY PURCHASE) I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE IT WAS NOT BRAKING. I ALMOST REAR ENDED SOMEONE AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A HONDA DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT MY BRAKES AS IT WAS GETTING WORSE AND I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. I WAS TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT BRAKE PADS AND MY LEFT ROTOR. THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 9000 MILES ON IT!!! I PAID $400 BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THE BRAKES!! I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE OF MY DRIVING. 7 MONTHS LATER (9/2011) THE BRAKE IS AT IT AGAIN. THIS TIME, THERE WAS NO SQEAKING SOUNDS TO WARN ME, THE CAR SUDDENLY SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS METAL RUBBING ON METAL AND MY CAR WOULDN'T BRAKE. AGAIN, I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT RIGHT! I'VE OWNED SEVERAL VEHICLES PRIOR AND NEVER HAD ANY BREAK ISSUES. NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR. HOW AM I GOING TO GET TO WORK? I'M SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. PLUS, THEY'RE GOING TO TELL ME THE SAME THING AND CHARGE ME ANOTHER $400 WHEN IT'S CLEARLY NOT MY DOING BUT A DEFECTIVE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHILE ON AN INCLINE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE REGARDING THE FAILURE OR THE REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 827 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 8,000.
