Car Forum / Honda Cars / March 2006What is wrong with Civic 2001 front suspension?
Hello Everybody, Recently the dealer who sold me a Civic 2001, called me and said since there is a problem with that model front suspension, Honda gives you exclusive offer ...blablabla...if you buy a 2005 model. I never noticed any problem, the car has run 40000 Km. Is there any sign that I can verify it on my car? What the problem is? Does the strut break while you are driving? If this is dangerous then why Honda didn't recall the car? Thanks guys in advance for your advices.

It's not a dangerous situation, so I think that's why there was no recall. > As I understand it, on some 2001 and 2002 (not sure about '03 and newer), > the front struts tended to wear out early.

Pardon my suspicion but this sounds like a cover of SPAM like other cleverly worded mailings with words like special buyback programs or "we need your car" blah blah blah. When I was a kid in the 80's I rememeber visits to the dealerships were about red and yellow tents and hot dogs. Now they use scare tactics other guises to get you to the lot, LOL. Well, This is a program they call it Honda Loyalty and it is coming from Honda not the specific dealer.Apparently there is something (i.e. early wearing of front strut) that Honda is using it as a business strategy. In my case I just want to make sure there is no danger, because generally it is good car and I am willing to keep it for a while. I am not falling for dealer's blablabla... > > As I understand it, on some 2001 and 2002 (not sure about '03 and newer), > > the front struts tended to wear out early.

Nemo, Did they mention any details of the offer? |
