    Takata recall reports and vehicle safety test reports are un-satisfactory with the 2005 honda civic. I have requested fucco honda to resolve an airbag warning light on my dashboard, and fucco honda has failed to repair my vehicle after service appointments and safety inspections.

    The hood latch has broken through normal use. The bottom piece that secures to the frame of the car broke at the screws that secure it. Is this something that is covered through a safety issue or warranty? I can't attach a picture or documentation, because currently my hood is being held down by straps on the inside. I had noticed the hood lifting up while driving and discovered the problem after opening the hood.

    Trunk lid latch malfunction. Lid does not close all the way causing it to open when seats & windows are down driving on the highway. The nylon inside the latch has worked it's way out causing the latch to bind and not close properly, thus making the trunk not actually locked. Is a security risk and also a safety hazard to others on the road. If you had a lot of belongings in the trunk they would be scattered all…

    I've been noticing that the paint on my car is slowly peeling off of my hood, roof and trunk. The hood is the worst. Is there any way that this can be fixed? This is not normal wear and tear.

    The clear coat is peeling all over the body of the vehicle. It started about 2 years and a half ago. I know this vehicle had a recall for this in the 2006 model and think it should be extended.
