Took my car in for oil change. Was told it also needed compliance bushings at a cost of $495. I went on the internet and found this a very common problem due to wrong size and wondered why it was not recalled. I am 83 and car only has 22973 miles on it and kept in garage. Why is everyone having to pay this amount for a serious problem that they knew about bushing cracking due to wrong size put in?

Brought my honda civic in for routine maintenance on 9/27/14. Was told i had a power steering leak and my entire power steering rack had to be replaced at a cost of $1200.00. I was told the leak is very slow and not an immediate concern but that it will get worse. This seems to be an ongoing problem with this particular make, model and year for the civic. There should be a recall! *tr

I drove again the next day and the noise got worse and started happening when i was turning my wheel while driving, and if i went over any bumps. I took my car in for servicing and they said that i needed my strut top replaced due to excessive wear and tear (i just bought the car 2 weeks…

Bought demo 2010 honda civic ex in december 2010, so it was virtually new. Problem began occurring around the beginning of september 2012, when the mileage of car was approximately 53,000. Upon ignition, the noise coming from the engine was a higher-pitched whir than i was accustomed to. This higher-pitched whir would worsen as i accelerated and as i turned corners. Thought i just needed to allow the car to warm up.…

Since delivery on 11/30/09 the car oversteers, most noticeable on highway while driving straight and on exit turns. Very tiring to continuously micro-adjust sensitive steering to keep car straight. Requires only 1/8 to 1/4-inch steering wheel turn to 'wander' into adjacent lane! On turns, results in 'angular' pattern instead of smooth curve. Problem is most noticeable when cruise control is used. Dangerous. A glance…
