problem #2

Civic LXS V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100 miles

When I first picked up the car, I notice, upon opening the driver's door, it was catching in the front quarter panel. It progressively got worse. They, (Colonial Honda) fixed it as if they were doing a big favor. I had the inclination that the vehicle had been in a collision before they sold it. Now there is a rubbing noise upon executing turns and feel like the front end is out of alignment. When at a slow roll, the front tires wobble. Concerned about how safe the vehicle is with the aforementioned problems.

problem #1

Civic LX-S 1.8L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 2,500 miles

I have brand new 09 Honda Civic LX-S bought only 3 months ago with under 2500 miles. 2 days ago I started hearing rubbing sound form driver side front wheel. It sounds like something is scratching the rotor every time the wheel turns. But the car is not doing it all the time. It is on and off. So, I brought to the service center and the car stop making that sound when Honda tech guy is checking it. He insisted that because the car is at factory standard they couldn't do anything about it. However I finally could persuade that guy to ride with me for a while and the car started making that sound on the way back to the service center. Thanks to God, he got convinced and agreed to look at the car.

On that evening I got call from honda and was told the car was ready to pickup. They said the problem was something about brake shoe touching rotor. I tested the car for a few miles and it went nice. But next day when I start driving the car, that sound came back. But it went away after driving a few hundred feet. Since then, the car is doing like that and I just don't know what to do. I can't believe a brand new car is giving such a head ache. Shame on you Honda.
