My complaint is regarding the front left (driver's side) strut on a 2002 Honda Civic ex coupe. After a trip to the dealership for a routine oil change the service attendant notified me of the front left strut leaking oil and needed to be replaced. With as few miles as the vehicle has on it I feel something like this should not fail. My concern is the noticeable tire movement when driving at higher speeds and on rough surfaces. Honda's fix for the problem is replacing the strut with the exact same strut which numberous failures have occured. In my opinion it is a matter of time before this causes an accident due to loss of control of the vehicle.

I was hearing noises the passenger side of my 2002 Honda Civic. I took to heritage Honda in westminster, md to have them check it out. The dealership informed me the passenger side strut was defective and had to be replaced. It has been six weeks since the original complaint and the strut has not been replaced. I contacted Honda motor car in California, they admitted to a problem with the strut, but said it was not a defect or recall. I file a case with Honda. This a safety issue and should be addressed.

Took my 2002 Civic to the dealer for road vibration, audible popping from front end when applying the brakes (includes feeling the "pop" through the brake pedal) clunking and popping when turning the steering wheel, clunking and popping when encountering any bumps. Symptoms are getting progressively worse. Advised by dealer that this is a problem with the Civic......may take upwards of three weeks to get parts......may eventually turn into a recall.......meanwhile, contrary to anyone with any type of common sense, Honda expects us to keep driving the car. I asked if they would recommend anyone ignoring the symptoms, ...they said no!. but still expect me to drive the vehicle. Typical attitude that nothing will be done until someone gets killed!
