2017 Honda Civic

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 9/17/2017. LESS THAN THREE WEEKS LATER, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT BACK WAS DEFORMED, CAUSING BACK PAIN AND DISCOMFORT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY MANIPULATED THE CUSHIONS TO GET THE SEAT BACK TO A MORE COMFORTABLE SHAPE, HOWEVER IT DIDN'T LOOK THE SAME AS WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER THAT THE CUSHIONS BECAME DISPLACED AGAIN. THERE ARE TWO CUSHIONS FORMING THE SIDE BOLSTER, AND THE SIDE AIRBAG IS DESIGNED TO DEPLOY BETWEEN THE CUSHIONS. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE CUSHIONS BACK INTO PLACE AND DON'T LIVE CLOSE TO MY DEALERSHIP SO IT IS INCONVENIENT TO TAKE IT BACK IN. NOW I HAVE BACK PAIN IN THE AREA WHERE THE SEAT IS DEFORMED AND PUSHING INTO MY BACK. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER NEXT WEEK HOWEVER I AM AFRAID EVEN IF THEY REPLACE THE SEAT THIS PROBLEM WILL KEEP OCCURRING. I HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR LONG ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO TRADE IT IN WITHOUT TAKING A HUGE LOSS. I AM ALSO CONCERNED WITH HOW THE SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT COULD BE EFFECTED.

THE SERVICE MANAGER WENT TO THE TOW YARD AND WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NOT A COMPLETE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW PERFORMED TECH (SERVICE MANAGER) COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY CAR DIED/STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. CAR WAS DETERMINED TO BE A TOTAL LOSS. UPDATED 9/26/18*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE FROM A ?COLD START?, THE CHECK ENGINE AND ABS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO.

FRONT DRIVER WHEEL BEARING. MY CIVICS FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING HAD TO BE REPLACED AT ONLY 15,000 MILES. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE FACTORY WHEEL BEARING HAD NO GREESE OR LUBERCATION INSIDE OF IT CAUSING IT TO WEAR DOWN PREMATURELY. I HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES FOR HONDA TO ACTUALLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD MULTIPLE TIMES IT WAS 'ROAD NOISE'. THE WHEEL BEARING WOULD MAKE A LOUD 'BUFFERING' SOUND BETWEEN 30-70MPH. THE NOISE WOULD ALSO GET WORSE WHEN GOING AROUND CORNERS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY (GOING ON THE SAME LANE & SIMILAR SPEED AS ANY OTHER CAR) AND SUDDENLY MY BACK-RIGHT TIRE BURSTED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER, CALLED TRIPLE A AND FOUND OUT THAT THE ENTIRE RIM OF THE RIMS WAS CRACKED AND TEARED FROM THE INSIDE, BUT THE TIRE ITSELF REMAINED INTACT AND UNPUNCTURED. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER TO GET A REPLACEMENT AND DIAGNOSTIC BUT THE MAINTENANCE SERVICE CLAIMED THAT IT WAS DUE TO AN IMPACT GOING OVER A POSSIBLE POTHOLE VS MATERIAL DEFECT OF THE WHEEL, THUS VOIDING THE WARRANTY. SINCE ITS A NEW CAR, I BELIEVE IT SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO CRACK AND BE COMPLETELY TEARED SO EASILY DUE TO A POTHOLE (WHICH IS A VERY COMMON THING TO ENCOUNTER). I FEEL AT RISK DUE TO THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE I'M UNCERTAIN OF THE DURABILITY OF THE RIMS MODEL ITSELF. NOT ONLY WAS I DRIVING ON THE SAME LANE AS ANY OTHER CAR, BUT CARS THAT WERE IN FRONT OF ME & BEHIND ME DROVE BY JUST FINE. IF IT WAS SOLELY A POSSIBLE POTHOLE MISHAP, THEN A NEW CAR LIKE THIS SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE SUCH A MINOR IMPACT FROM TYPICAL DRIVING. UNFORTUNATELY, HONDA SERVICES SAID THEY COULDN'T REALLY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND COULD ONLY STAND BY THE DEALERSHIP'S DIAGNOSTICS. HOWEVER, I DON'T THINK I'LL FEEL SAFE WITH A CLAIM LIKE THIS UNRESOLVED. ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS A 2017 MODEL CAR, MY SAFETY FEELS MORE AT RISK NOW BECAUSE OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN TO ANY OF THE OTHER 3 WHEELS DUE TO A COMMON POTHOLE INCIDENT TO COMPLETELY TEAR-APART THE METALLIC RIMS FROM THE INSIDE WHAT THEY CONCLUDED: "IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, THEN REPORT IT AGAIN FOR THIS TO BE ESCALATED". BUT TO ME, IT MAKES NO SENSE TO WAIT FOR IT TO EVEN HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN ITS A DANGEROUS RISK TO MY LIFE. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE MORE RESPONSIBLE TO PREVENT IT THAN TO WAIT FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. JUST BECAUSE THEY REPLACE ONE RIM, DOESN'T MEAN IT COULD PREVENT IT IF IT IS AN OVERALL DEFECTED MODEL.
