not even 5 days and my door is messed up.

Ok, so I just bought this 2006 civic coupe and last night i find out my passanger door wont open!!!
neither from the inside or the outside. first i thought there was some "mysterious" door lock button i pressed, but there isnt cause ive tried everything. the handle seems loose when i pull it, compared to the other side where you can feel the resistance when you pull. Anyways I took it to the dealership in the morning today to get that fixed (they have to take the whole passanger seat out to remove the door) and also to fix another problem i noticed that when i have the steering wheel straight the cars goes to the right (very annoying).

Did anyone else have problems like these? i just hope i nothing else goes wrong.

thanks.

100% car pulling to the right. After my first 400 miles they realigned my car as camber and toe was off. 5000 miles later car is still pulling to the right and 2 front tires are feathering.

Many other people have reported the pull to the right. I have not heard of anyone getting it solved. There be people who have, I might not have seen the threads.

Yep, here is another victim of the "pulling to the right" problem. I brought it to the dealership and at first, then the service manager gave me my keys and said they only needed to fix 2 out of 4 problems and steering to the right wasn't one of them. I initially walked out, but I was kind of heated, so I walked back in and asked them I wanted to speak the technician and he told me he let three techs drive my car and neither of them noticed the problem. Bullshit. I had to leave, but the first thing I did was position the steering wheel to the left and in about 3-4 seconds, it was going to the right of the road. The odometer has 3 more kms than when I brought it in, so I don't know if it was tested correctly, or did they go rev happy with it.

I highly suggest you book a time with the service manager so you can show them what the problem is. I'm going to rebook an appointment and have the tech sit with me, while I DRIVE.

i don't have the pulling to the right problem, but i've encountered this statement before. "even the quality control manager drove your car and couldn't find any problems."

this may well be one of honda service's blanket cover-their-ass statements...
