Water is leaking into front driver's side of car (onto floor, carpet). Wolchase Honda did not find problem but told me it was windshield. I purchased a new windshield at auto glass place but still had water from rain running into my car. The glass technician actually found leak after returning, roof of car not welded to body of car correctly leaving hold where water is running directly into car on left driver's side from roof. There is strip of rubber on each side of top of car (under that water runs directly down in car from hole in metal on top of roof on left side not sealed or welded). Tech. Did water & air test, not windshield. Wolfchase Honda had me wasting money on new windshield when that was not the problem. Dealer refused to even look at car even after I told them the problem was found how water was getting into car. Service mgr. Do not want to deal with issue because he says older car & out of warranty. Trunk also leaks rain (rust in trunk & other places on car.

Clear coat is peeling off my 2005 Honda Civic at an accelerated rate since last year. The resulting pattern is distracting (and embarrassing) to myself and other drivers.

On 2/26/10, I had 4 new tires installed in my 2005 Civic; at 56,000 miles. Even purchased the warranty. About two weeks later, I felt a very mild vibration between 48-52 mph. I didn't make such a big deal of it then. The past 6 weeks or so, about 60,000 miles, the Civic's vibrating has gotten worse between 48-52mph. I took it for it's maintenance, had everything done, especially the break rotors and alignment. The vibrating has not stopped. I brought it back to the dealership. According to them, the car was checked, and felt the vibrating. Car was re-aligned, the said it was the rear struts. I had them replaced with a different auto mechanic, then had it re-aligned once more to another auto mechanic. Still vibrates. Brought it back to the mechanic who installed the rear struts. He did a test drive, and balanced the tires. The vibrating is still there. Now it's between 48-60mph at random. Sometimes it does it, sometimes it's mild, sometimes it stronger, depending after my apply the brakes. The vibrating occurs under the seats, floor, rear, some is felt very mildly on the dashboard. Could be since the rest of the car is vibrating. I'm very frustrated.
