1989 Honda Civic DX review from North America
"Good car, but old age wears it down"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air conditioning broke about two monhs after I got the car. Now almost a year later, the A/C isn't working again and it may either need freon or it may have a leak. Also my biggest problem right now is that I feel the brakes getting bad. The emergency brake light comes on for no reason, when I make turns and when I first turn on the car. The squeaking isn't too loud though, yet.
General comments?
Has anyone else had brake problems?
