SUSPENSION:FRONT:MACPHERSON STRUT
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. *NLM

SUSPENSION:FRONT:MACPHERSON STRUT
LEFT FRONT STRUT IS LEAKING, MY CAR VIBRATES SO SEVERELY THAT I CANNOT DRIVE OVER 40 MPH. THERE ARE NO STRUTS IN THE USA - ON CRITICAL BACK ORDER. MY DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN NOTICEABLE QUANTITIES OF THIS PROBLEM. THE 2001 CIVIC HAS A NEW SUSPENSION SYSTEM IN IT, AND IT IS FLAWED IN MY OPINION. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK, AND DOES MOSTLY INTERSTATE DRIVING. *NLM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON IN MY 1998 HONDA CIVIC. THE DEALER HAS ALREADY REPLACED THE OXYGEN SENSOR ONCE UNDER WARRANTY BUT NOW CLAIMS THAT THE WARRANTY PERIOD IS OVER. THE CAR ONLY HAS 34,000 MILES ON IT, AND THE OXYGEN SENSOR WAS REPLACED ABOUT 13,000 MILES AGO. I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET BULLETIN BOARDS.*JB

AIR BAGS
THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT FLICKERED ON & OFF FOR SEVERAL DAYS, AND NOW REMAINS ON ALL THE TIME. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS A MALFUNCTIONING UNIT THAT WILL COST $500+ TO REPLACE. THE CAR HAS ONLY 38000 MILES ON IT, AND DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE AIRBAG RECALL FROM NOVEMBER '97. HAS HONDA LOOKED INTO THIS PROBLEM FOR ALL OF ITS MODELS? *JB

TIRES
MY WIFE'S FIRESTONE TIRE BLEW ON HER 1999 HONDA CIVIC AND ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON I75. SHE IS LUCKY TO NOT HAVE BEEN INJURED. ALSO, HER SISTER'S FIRESTONE TIRE BLEW 1 YEAR LATER ON HER 1998 HONDA CIVIC WHILE DRIVING ON ANOTHER FLORIDA HIGHWAY. THE PROBABILITIES OF SUCH INCIDENTS HAPPENING TO ONE FAMILY MUST BE HIGH UNLESS THERE IS A DEFECT IN THESE FIRESTONE TIRES. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT THAT IS PROBABLY BECAUSE THESE WERE NOT SUV'S. DATE OF INCIDENT IS ESTIMATED SINCE IT WAS A MINOR INCIDENT AND NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THESE FIRESTONE TIRES MAY NOT BE SAFE. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT THE MAKE OF THESE TIRES ARE UNKNOWN SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN DISCARDED A LONG TIME AGO. *NLM
