Why there is no recall for the IMA battery?

Replacing the IMA battery is very expensive. Honda will not do it by itself unless the cosumer protection agency and CARB agency enforce a recall. Honda missed leaded cosumers with false information. I only get 36 MPG on my hybrid. Does anyone knows how to file a formal complain in these two agencies?
Common sense, fun car

Rear Suspension Problems

2010 Honda Civic LX-S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5M)

This is my 4th Civic. The 1998 Civic ex was the best. Still running with 280k miles on it. Both my 2004 civics had Cylinder head gasket problems, one at 127k, the other at 214k. I have 80K on my 2010 civic lxs. It's comfortable, has pep, and gets 38mpg. My one complaint is a big one. The rear struts are basically non existent if I have two adults in the back seat. The car bottoms out on small bumps. It's truly frightening, and loud. You'd have to experience it for yourself. Oh, and I drive highway only miles. I believe that Honda quality has been going down steadily since '98. I'm probably going for a Toyota or Nissan next.

2010 Honda Civic EX 2dr Coupe (1.8L 4cyl 5A)

Well something went wrong with the civi ex coupe, a strut joint of some sort went bad at 15,000 miles and was replaced no charge, only took a couple of hours and they said it was unusual. I am a car guy, oner 50 cars and have this civic coupe and 2010 crv ex as well, my wife and i swap so i don't get bored with either. I keep trying other cars, sportier, and more frugal ones as well. The civic coupe gives you a bit of both, it is prety frugal when driven properly and can be 30 city and upper 38 plus highway no problem. It can be sporty to but not a sports coupe like an si or miata which i have had, but it gets far better gas millage than those two. a fun good looking car !
Good first car, amazing mpg, uncomfortable, struggles sometimes.

Great mpg and easy to drive but the seats are extremely uncomfortable (lower back) after sitting for more than 30 mins.
Uncomfortable

Bought this instead of the Fit and have regretted it since. (Not sure I'd like the Fit though). The headrests are the main issue and why I didn't notice at the time I went around the block, I'll never know. They push my head forward. I have adjusted the seat and headrest to be bearable. Even my mother had trouble riding in the car with me and had to lean forward in an uncomfortable manner. I'll never buy a car with a headrest like this again. Otherwise, the car is mediocre. No trip computer for an EX trim line, go figure.
Very disappointed with Honda

There is a major defect with this car's clear coat. It peels everywhere. Honda is fully aware of this issue but although they extended the warranty for this issue, they failed to notify owners. I only heard about it from a body shop. They suggested I contact Honda. I called only to find out the extended warranty had expired so they would not help me in any way. I have estimates of $600-1000 just to repaint the roof. The hood has a large bad spot and the trunk is rough looking too. I may eventually need to repaint the entire car. I have owned Hondas for about 25 years. This has soured me so much that I will neither purchase nor recommend another. I may not even keep the one I have. I have personally seen this issue on several Civics in multiple colors. Some in better and some in worse condition than mine. I am disgusted with Honda that they do not stand behind their products. I can only say if there is a defect with their paint and they were aware of it, it shouldn't matter how much time passes. It's not like it will go away on its own. I don't feel it's fair to pass their problem onto me and make me pay for it. It's their mess, they should clean it up. Very disappointed. Update: I spent $4500 to repaint almost the entire car. Only the doors and side mirrors are untouched. Only because cheaper than buying a new car and is still mechanically sound. But I will still buy a different make for my next car. I'm done with Honda. Update 2 - still have car but needed new alternator. Now needs something for AC. Only blows heat. Buying a Ford soon.

Hinda Civic 2008-2010 Break pad WARNING

My car has 16,000 miles and I am having the break pads replaced. Break pads should last atleast 30,000 miles. What Honda is failing to tell their customers is that they are in a lawsuite about this exact problem. In other words, they are aware of the problem, and have been aware but are not disclosing this problem to buyers. The break pads are not covered under warranty and honda is aware that their break pads have a 50% less lifespan than normal break pads. This is a safety hazard. And costly problem that Honda will not cover.
Fantastic car, fun to drive!

I’ve had my car for almost 4 months now and I’m still very impressed with it. The sound system is exceptional, the 5 speed manual feels amazing, even after 207,509 km. Great on fuel, (6.8 l/100). Handles curve great, quiet and comfy on the highway and great in the snow. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

decent car but does drop mpg by about 10 in the colder months of the year. summer months i get about 43mpg city driving, winter it goes to about 32-33mpg. canadian honda dealerships are apparently no longer selling hybrids because of this
