I filed a complaint with the arizona attorney general on may 17, 2010. I purchased a 2010 honda civic in chandler on november 7, 2009. My car was damaged. I bought it brand new. American honda motor chose to categorize my car problems as 'normal'. The dealership where I purchased the vehicle performed work without my knowledge which caused a new problem to arise. Car pulls to the right, steering wheel shifts to the right while braking and more. I was involved in two separate traffic incidents that could have easily resulted in an accident. There is much, much more; this is not an everyday, average type of complaint. Please allow me to explain in detail, preferably over the phone or in person. My primary objective is that no other person buy this car at retail - it is extremely dangerous. I surrendered it on may 7, 2010.
2010 Honda Civic suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
2010 honda civic clicks/clicks going over speed bumps, coming to stops, turning in driveways, pulling into parking stall everyday since the third month of owning vehicle. Vehicle surges when coming to stops scary at times. Vehicle buzzes intermittently when warming up on cold start. Took to dealership shop to ride with shop foreman. Indicates all normal characteristic of vehicle.
Brand new 2010 honda civic lx. Has 320 miles on it and already car pulls to the right and has vibration at 45 MPH and above. Rear tires showing early signs of uneven treadwear. I thought this problem was covered and resolved on previous model years. Apparently it has continued to the 2010 model. I have read another customer has the same problem on a 2010 on edmunds.com. Will be going to dealer tomorrow and have them fix to spec and the previously issued tsb 08-001. Not impressed with dealer prep of the car as they should have caught it.
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.
