    I brought a honda civic 2009 in 2012,april 12. The honda was supposed to be sold with a power train warranty to bring car up to date for 36000 miles/3 yr. Honda did not offer an extended warranty for these purposes. They called a year later to see if we would then extend the vehicle to 120 miles. We had already purchased an additional warranty called assurance pay to paylink approx 112.00 mo. We were one payment to…

    I was hit on the passenger side of the car by an suv. The repairs were with genuine honda parts but ever since then the front controls where the radio is has been extremely hot. Almost to the point i think i burn my hands to change the radio station. I think it may be hot enough to start a fire with melting the controls in the back. I have been told there is nothing that can be done or it will cost me a lot of money…

    When i first bought this car at david mcdavid honda of irving (texas) in 2012, i noticed there was paint or clear coat peeling on the roof of the car. I didn't immediately think much of it, thought maybe it was a one-off problem, and asked the dealership to repaint it before i picked it up-- they did. Being a full-time student and working full time, i didn't notice that the clear coat was starting to peel from the…

    2009 honda civic sedan ex well maintained. Paint and clear coat fading and peeling at 1/2012. I owned the car only 3 months upon onset of the issue. I have noted that this year has been stated to have these issues and will take to local honda dealership with bodyshop to review and assist. This causes the car to look very old. Unable to polish or wax to halt the issue. Unsure why it began beyond what the forums have…

    Paint is peeling, cracking and clouding over the entire vehicle... Almost imediately after purchase. Also the brakes failed during the same time and have had to be replaced multiple times, more often than what is normal

    Scratches appeared immediately after purchase, like there was no clear coat at all. Now their are spots with no paint or clear coat all over the car and i'm worried if it starts to rust, i could get a leak in the roof.

    I have owned my 2009 honda civic since july, 29th 2009, i have noticed multiple times that the body frame between the front windshield and the driverside window completely obstructs my view of things including pedestrians and vehicles, this is when i am directly looking. I feel the blind spot size is beyond dangerous and unacceptable, i have almost hit people numerous times because they are in just the right spot to…
