My friend and I put our purses in the trunk of my honda civic 2010 at a busy restaurant parking lot. Honda has an interior valet key hole to lock the trunk; so I feel safe to leave my things in the trunk. This key hole is at the bottom left side of the driver's seat. Someone broke the driver's window and opened the trunk with the valet trunk latch locked. I have the trunk always valet key locked; so I was surprised someone was able to pop the trunk. I took my car to a body shop place. He easily discovered that a plastic cover that is around the valet trunk key lock can be removed and a small latch can be moved to the left and the trunk opens. He said that he didn't know about this equipment failure. He said. "I can't trust my things in the trunk with a valet person, after this discovery." I was shocked. I buy honda's because I like this feature. I have gone through a lot of emotional distress because my identity was stolen. The valet lock isn't broken but it is unsafe for those who don't know, like me, that it's not safe to leave your belongs in the trunk of this car.

Problem with the honda civic paint job. My 2006 I bought with 18000 miles already had the paint bubbling up below the clear coat in the roof and hood and trunk, just bought a 2010 new and just noticed two or three spots beginning to form already, will take it to the dealer so it can be documented that came like that from the factory, googled the problem and it seems to be prevalent on the honda civics.
Good afternoon, my name is [xxx]and my husband and I leased a 2010 honda civic in february 2010 through randy kuehl honda here in cedar rapids. Starting in april 2010, we have noticied problems with the body/metal/paint with the car. We feel our 2010 honda civic is not safe to drive and our afarid something is wrong with the metal of the car. On, june 14, 2010 while cleaning the car, my husband and I found another dent on what we believe is the passenger interior kick plate of the car. This dent just appeared and is a mystery. If our honda was in a crash would it perform as the metal is denting for no reason. We also have dents on the truck and it appears to be getting worse. We also have three other paint/metal spots on the car too. We also demanded for the honda rep to look at our car but this has not happened. I have also ask for a different car and honda is not responding. We are now asking for a full refund of our lease as we paid for the full three year lease upfront. We also have spoken to the owner of the dealership but says we have to go through honda. And the service manager also does not want to help. Please help us as we do not feel safe driving our leased honda civic as we do not know what will hapen next to the body structure, to the paint and what new dent will appear to the body of the car next.
