Well this is an interesting thread indeed. I have a 2008 Honda Civic bought in Canada, made in Alliston Ontario. I had about 46,000 kms on it and an oil leak started. Not just a little leak I lost about 1-2 liters of oil in one night. I would like to add the paint is peeling off the plastic, including bumpers, mirrors, etc. The dealer tried to fix it 3 times and finally put a new "short block" in. Well guess what the leak is worse. I barely got it back to the dealer. Now it's been in for 2 weeks and Honda Canada says, "we will fix this time". I am sick and tired of being told this time - it will be fixed. I have driven my Civic twice in the last 3 weeks. The rest of the time it's in the dealer. I think I have a true garage queen. Any advice would be very much appreciated. I will take the TSB in to the dealer tomorrow. It's going to be interesting to see how they react. This is my 4 Honda including 1 Accord and 3 Civics. Should I be ready to give up and walk away from Honda?? I am thoroughly P/O'd.
