The paint on the roof of my Honda Civic is peeling off. This first happened fairly early on after I purchased by vehicle. This is not regular oxidation, from how I see it, as I do not treat my car any different than anyone else, who are not experiencing similar issues. From what I've read, there was a paint warranty extension for dark blue 2003-2005 Odyssey's back in may of 2008--this warranty should be extended to Honda Civic 2009 vehicles as well.
I was at a red light waiting for the green light to turn to the left. When the green light appeared, I accelerated at a speed of 15 when out of no where I heard a boom sound coming from the engine. This seem very abnormal to me since I had barely purchase my car 4 months ago. I took my car to the Honda dealer to see what was going on with my car. After waiting a few hours, the mechanic told me there were many things wrong with the car. The boom sound was made by the breakage of the wishbone that holds the lower engine and besides that it needed 2 tires, alignment, cabinfilter, brake flush, P/S rack. I honestly don't think it is fair to me that I bought a 2009 car for it to have this many problems. When I bought my car the man from auto plaza told me that I wouldn't be having any problems with my car for a long time and then I find out all of this parts wrong with my car. After this incident, I went to talk to the man from auto plaza and he told me that when they had purchase the car they didn't inspect it before putting it on sale.this action seems to me very irresponsible to not have inspected the car before putting it on sale. I honestly didn't know what else to do and this is why I'm writing a complaint here. Please help me with my situation.
My 2009 Honda Civic ex, polished metal metallic, has paint that has been fading on the roof and trunk. The spots affected are: Between the windshield and sunroof, above the back window, and the top of the trunk lid. I purchased the car brand new from the dealer in February of 2009. The car is only four years old and now has 22,800 miles. I should not be having these issues!
