I've had my Honda in for a popping noise in the front end area a couple of weeks ago. They said the strut mounts were gone on the drivers side after only 45 000 kms. So they replaced the entire strut assemble and the noise went away, but for only 2 weeks. Now the noise is back on the passenger side. I know it's the struts again. 90 % of my driving is the highway. My question: Is this a common problem with the Honda Civics? Also, can I expect more of this around another 45 000km's. I was told the civic was the most reliable small car on the road. Doesn't look that way right now. Everything I own is a Honda but this civic is really pissing me off.
