Description of the problem | I am writing to express concern about an issue i recently had with my 2013 honda civic and to see if the issue i had is a known issue with honda civics. On 11 february, my car hit a curb and the honda dealership, upon inspecting the car, told me that my front lower control arm was broken, forcing a repair of the control arm, steering knuckle, front wheel bearing, and front damper/strut. The damage allegedly caused by the curb seems excessive to the level of impact. I am aware of previous issues with control arms in honda civics, which is the reason i am asking if similar issues have arisen in more recent models. Please let me know if you have any additional questions about this incident or if this is part of a larger problem with honda civics for which they should be responsible to fix. Thank you. |
