Civic GX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 8,000 miles

I purchased a 2009 Civic GX in November of 2008. I purchased the extended warranty as well. By April, the car had 8,000 miles on it and the car shuddered when the brake was applied from most speeds above 40 miles per hour. My mistake was waiting for the 15,000 mile service to take it in. Honda said that the rotors were warped and needed re-surfacing and the brake pads needed replacing. They stated that this was normal wear and was not covered under the warranty. We also drive a 2003 Honda Pilot whose brakes need to be changed very infrequently, something around 50K miles a change. None of my other cars have ever had this problem which leads me to believe that this is a defect in the car they sold us. I went to 2 different dealerships and to Honda America. I am waiting for a verdict from them. If they do not make it right by taking care of this defect, this will be the last Honda I ever buy,
