  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles

I bought the car new in Aug., 2001- steering was sloppy from the start- was told nothing wrong- finally replaced steering rack at 27K miles- still made a sloshing and klunking sound at the slightest bump in the road- dealer replaced right strut- still noises, etc.- dealer replaced left strut- still not right- went to different dealer- replaced left and right bushings-- was okay for only one day then same noises came back--don't know what to do now- I've read here that people have had steering rack or struts replaced more than once ??? We had two of these cars- 2001 Civic LX's- and luckily we sold one in 2005- now I'm reading about transmission failures at low mileages--- what a bummer as this car is paid off- never get another Honda- We had a 1990 Acura Integra and got 245K miles on it with the original transmission, etc.-- but that was then, as they say--will never happen with this car!- back to my Toyotas, I guess!
