2015 Honda Civic Suspension Problems

The salespeople are very unprofessional and don’t take the wellbeing and safety of their customers or the surrounding public seriously. My husband and I went to Stark to test drive a couple of their cars. The first car that we test drove the Honda Civic should have been properly repaired first before ever being placed on the lot. To even get the parking brake lowered, my husband had to disassemble the plastic manifold, second the car was lowered to the point where it scraped the road whenever we were turning on an incline, finally there was some mechanical issue with the gear shift where we weren’t able to reverse. When we got back from the test drive the salesperson explained to us that they knew of this issue and that there’s a trick to it. This trick wasn’t mentioned to us at the start of the test drive, nor did the salesperson go with us to explain it to us on the road. This is very dangerous, what if there was an emergency and we needed to reverse. Not knowing this trick not only puts our lives in danger but also all the other drivers in the area. I’m not a car person, but even I know that a car should be able to go forwards and backwards.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I HAVE HAD MY 2015 HONDA CIVIC COUPE SINCE OCTOBER OF 2015. FIRST ISSUE, SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE I HAVE NOTICED A STRANGE CLICKING SOUND THAT HAPPENS ONCE WHEN YOU SWITCH FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. FOR EXAMPLE, I WILL PUT OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY IN REVERSE, GO A COUPLE YARDS IN REVERSE, THEN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SWITCH IT TO DRIVE. AFTER I SWITCH IT TO DRIVE AND THEN DRIVE A COUPLE YARDS FORWARD, A WEIRD CLICKING SOUND COMES UP, IT IS TOWARDS THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS AN AXLE OR HUB, OR KNUCKLE. THE SECOND ISSUE IS, MY IGNITION SWITCH. IT TENDS TO HEAT UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THE REASON I SAY A FEW MINUTES IS BECAUSE, ILL PUT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH, THEN TURN IT AND DRIVE OFF FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AROUND THE BLOCK. THEN ILL COME TO A STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, AND THE KEY WILL BE EXTREMELY HOT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I PUT MY KEYS IN MY JEAN POCKET AND IT BURNT ME. IT WASNT A BAD BURN TO WHERE IT LEFT ME A SCAR OR ANYTHING, BUT IT WAS STILL A BURN THAT IS NOT NORMAL.
