Each time I applied brakes I would hear a scraping sound in sync with a point or span of tire rotation. Then as I was attempting to stop at a red light the brakes failed. The nearest place was OR automotive and they rebuilt rear braking system yet I could hear the same scraping sound. So I carried the car to Honda dealership. They adjusted brakes $237.00 and replaced $341.00 the two rear drums. The sound remains and is magnified. They are claiming it is because e brake cables stretch. Somehow the stretching can cause entire rear brake on that side to catastrophically fail.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR HAS SPLIT AND JUST HANGS DOWN IN THE LINE OF VISION....I PURCHASED A NEW GENUINE HONDA VISOR AND THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO IT. NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR IS ALSO BEGINNING TO SPLIT. HONDA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR DEFECTIVE VISORS. IT IS NOT OVERUSED OR ABUSED IN ANY WAY. MY VEHICLE IS ALWAYS WELL MAINTANINED.

THE SUN VISOR FOR THE CAR HAS BEEN REPLACED EVERY YEAR SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, AS IT MELTS OFF IN THE SUMMER HEAT. THE VISOR WILL HANG AND BLOCK VISIBILITY FOR THE DRIVER CAUSING HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. AFTER 7 REPLACEMENTS, THE VISOR HAS SINCE BEEN REMOVED. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE DURING SUNRISE OR SUNSET. I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS REASON, AS I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE IT FOR A LARGE PORTION OF THE DAY.

THE TRUNK LID HASN'T BEEN RIGHT ALL ALONG. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES IT HAS COME DOWN AND HIT ME ON THE HEAD. NOW, THE BAR THAT KEEPS THE LID OPEN HAS SNAPPED AND THE TRUNK WILL NOT STAY OPEN BY ITSELF. IT CLOSES WITH SUCH FORCE, IT COULD REALLY INJURE A PERSON,. IT WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE WHEN IT HAPPENED.

I BOUGHT A 2011 HONDA CIVIC COUPE. I BOUGHT IT NEW AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER. 2 YEARS AGO THE PAINT BEGAN PEELING ON THE TRUNK. THE PEELING HAS NOW EXTENDED FROM TRUNK TO THE ROOF.

THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY LIABLE FOR THIS PAINT FAILURE FOR USING CHEAP PRODUCTS.
