My mother-in-law is retired and drives a 2003 Honda Civic Sedan that she purchased new. The car has 45,000 Kilometers on the odometer (approx. 28,000 miles to you Yanks). She has the car maintained 'by the book' because she has Honda's Extended Warranty. She rarely carries passengers and drives sedately on paved roads only. Her dealer advised her today that her car needs two (2) rear struts at a total cost to her of $600.00. Am I mistaken or aren't Hondas supposed to be a quality product? And why doesn't Extended Warranty cover the struts? I can understand not covering brake pads - wipers and such but not a structural component like struts. A little help/advice here PLEASE.















hondab 1 - Canadian cars and parts prices are higher than the USA. Bit of a crock when you consider her car was manufactured 50 miles down the road ( Alliston, Ontario) from her house. Even MIDAS wants $400.00 for a pair of rear shocks.
