I was driving on highway 101 in california in moderate traffic when there was an unexpected slowdown. I braked in time, but the vehicle behind me did not. I was rear-ended and my car was totaled. I was not injured. However, the person in the passenger seat, who was wearing her seat belt, was thrown forward. She struck her head on the dashboard (possibly the grill) and incurred a serious eye injury that required…

While driving out in indio on a main street the check engine light went on and within 5 minutes of that happening the car would start to drive very sluggishly and struggled while in drive.

Eventually as we drove down the highway back home 3 days later it completely stopped moving in drive and would high rev as you…

My daughter (18 yrs. Of age) recently purchased a 2002 honda civic and was involved in an automobile accident. In this accident the unfortunate thing was her air bag did not deploy and her chest hit the steering wheel. She was taken by ambulance to a local hospital. X-rays were done and she was just bruised and no broken bones. She may have not sustained any injuries if the air bag would have deployed. I know honda…

In 2014, circa 90,800 miles, the clear coat started fading and peeling on my car: first the top, then hood, now the sides going from top down. Very embarrassing to drive car like this, and costs more to repaint the car than the car is worth.
