I heard a squealing metal on metal noise on my Honda Civic, and so took it to the dealer to get it serviced - the mechanic who helped me told me it would probably be under warranty. They discovered the front brakes needed replacing --- at 19,800 miles. Honda refuses to cover them because they are under the "wear and tear" clause of the warranty --- but the brakes failed at 19,800 miles. Unacceptable. When I contacted Honda about the problem, they were cold hearted, the operator was clearly in india and didn't understand the severity of the issue - I will never own a Honda again.
