Contacted carmax warranty that I purchased and they denied because the shop I took it to and the adjuster couldn’t get it to do it. Carmax care never contacted me only the shop I took it took.

- 2020 Ford Transit Connect: factory and aftermarket m10 end links fail (1 complaints) 2019-2023 Transit Owners need to upgrade their M10 end links to the larger Transit Van M12 links.

Until we realize there's a better option to cure the failing links. One will need the end links from the larger 250 transit van which have M12 ball joints.

- 2013 Honda Civic: clear coat is coming off (5 complaints) There was a recall before any of the paint fading would have began showing. The recall was 2013-2020. Honda will not help at all to repaint the Honda Civic 2013 and estimates just for the roof and trunk have been up to $3,000. I want to drive this car another 10 years but by then it would be all rusted. Honda should have given a graduated allowance to cover this ongoing problem that they KNEW about. That's what is frustrating! They knew it was going to be a problem for the owners but let the recall time out. ... read more »
