Upon replacing rear rotor's and brakes i discovered that the mounting point for the rear trailing arm was rusted out and not replaceable. Upon investigation this seems to be a common issue with this model, and currently has a recall with honda canada, but not in the us. The car has been makeing noises while in motion and breaking so i assumed it was rust build up on my caliper mount bracket. Sadly its a poor design…

Original paint is peeling. Never knew or told about the extended warranty for paint until i brought the car in yesterday for a passenger airbag recall on the car which also i have to know about by looking up online since we weren't told about it. Dealership confirmed that they cant do anything about the car paint anymore since the extended warranty expired.

The paint started to peel at only 65,000 miles, back in 2015. The car, at that point, was 8 years old. It peeled in literally just a few months time. It's now patchy on the hood, roof and trunk.

Early 2014 we approached honda of columbia, the purchase point of this car, about the factory paint flaking and coming off. Honda says we have to have the car repainted and show them the receipt before they will help offer financial help. That costs us $4000+ out of our pocket and then they may subsidize the cost. This car misses the original recall for defective painting by a couple of weeks. Her car has been well…

Rear tires tends to wear out faster due to design defect in upper controller arm. Drivers will be unaware of wore tread wear towards the body side posing a risk to loose control in some circumstances especially during wet conditions. In addition, value of the car depreciated due to paint fading and honda knowingly denying any defect in the quality of the paint used as cost cutting tactic during 2007 early recession.

The paint on the roof of my 2007 honda civic start oxidizing and peeling away 2 years ago. At first it was just a small spot at the back of the roof and now it is manifesting to all over the roof. I received a recall for 2007 civics for paint peeling and i brought my vehicle to my local dealership where i was told that my vin number was not covered. I feel as honda is most assuredly being deceitful with their…

The paint started peeling on the roof of my car, then went on to start on my hood. It has been quickly peeling more and more and looking worse and worse. Before i went to spend $600+ on a new paint job, i found out online that there are many others that have complained of the same exact thing happening to their honda civics. If this is a problem with the quality of honda's paint, which is what most sources are…

Driver's sun visor split apart at the top seam, with the inner spring sticking out so it won't go back into place without (for now) using both hands to squeeze everything back in and try to reposition, otherwise it just hangs down and blocks view. Cannot safely lower the visor to use, so driving looking into the sun etc becomes hazardous. Searched online to see if this was a design problem, and after reading posts…
