Default 08 CIVIC BLOWN STRUT ISSUE

I BOUGHT A 08 CIVIC LX LAST MONTH, IT HAS ONLY 1700 MILES ON IT NOW , BUT THE LEFT FRONT STRUT IS ALREADY DEAD. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER YESTERDAY. AND THEY SAID THEY WILL REPLACE THE STRUT TOMORROW UNDER WARRANTY. BUT THIS IS REALLY SUCKS FOR ME.

honda has used sub-par suppliers to cut corners, and this is what happens. from the sun visors to the struts to the door detent arms.

it's a sign of the times....thankfully they do give us a warranty, but if you have any sort of life it's not very convenient to go back and forth to the dealership.

i feel your pain OP, but try to chill out with using all CAPS.
