Takata recall.
I had uneven wear on my tires and had an alignment accomplished by a certified mechanic at firestone. After several attempt to align the camber on the right back rear tire they were forced to leave it at -1. 7. . . Which is . 02 out of tolerance. The camber adjustment are is in proper working order but the mechanic says this is a constant problem with 2006-2009 Hondas due to the arms design. This is a serious problem that can cause steering, suspension, and tire wear issues.
'09 Honda Civic coupe: 1. ) noted clicking/popping/clunking noise when turning either left or right. Happens more often after driving over bumps. Comes from front of vehicle. 2. ) passenger door will not unlock after put in park have to manually unlock.
Right bushing on suspension system was broken, which is normally seen in older vehicles with higher mileage. I believe this is a defect in the vehicle.
There is a loud clicking noise that has been consistent since the car was purchased used in 2013. The noise happens when cornering or turning at low speeds.
Road noise becoming louder and louder along with vibrations being transmitted into the cabin. Checking the rear tires, the inner 1 1/2" of tread is much more worn and unevenly so than the balance of the tread. Same problem as I had on a 2006 Honda Civic.
I was driving down the road at approximately 35 miles per hour in town when the driver side sun visor fell in my view. It would not stay up. It split into two pieces that would not go back together. I went to the Honda dealership to get 2 new rear tires because the car keeps eating up the rear tires for some strange reason. I asked the dealership about this visor and a possible recall at that time in November. The dealership told me my VIN number was not included in the recall and they couldn't repair my defective visor for free. The dealership told me my right front seal was bad, front brakes were bad, and my right rear shock was bad and that it would be about 1000 to fix everything.

Have had to replace front struts three times since purchasing the car new.
I purchased a 2009 Honda Civic sedan and it start to shake at highway speeds I have advised Honda of this and also the dealer. I advised them that it cant be the tires since it had the problem since new. They said it was the tires that are worn I advised them it cant cause it had this problem since it was new.
