Consumer Description

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. *AK
