I have owned a 2001 Honda Civic lx since late December 2006 I have had the car a little over a year, when I bought the car it had 60,000 miles and it currently has 86,000 miles on it. Since the car was purchased I have had nothing but suspension problems. It seems like each time I drive it something is making a noise in the front end. I understand that this problem may be or may not be Honda's fault. I did purchase the car used and the suspension was not serviced at a certified Honda dealer; but I have read online that there is a lot of other people that experience these same issues with their 2001-2002 Civics. I think Honda should be forced to recall these vehicles its a matter of their consumers safety when the suspension is jeopardized. My warranty has covered most items but its a constant hassle to constantly keep bringing the car into the shop. I bought the Civic cause everyone said how wonderful of a car it was and this one has been nothing but a nightmare both with the suspension failures and other things that constantly go wrong with it. I think I might be trading the vehicle in but I wanted to voice my opinion.
Loud clunking noise coming from front suspension. The consumer has had ongoing problems with the loud noise coming from the suspension. The dealer was notified and to date problem has not been resolved. Please review for further investigations.
