AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM IN THE CIVIC SINCE 2006. I PLAN TO VISIT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A FIX BUT HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT IF THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, IT WILL BE FIXED AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. IF THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM SINCE 2006, SEEMS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS. *TR
