honda will replace my struts for the 2nd time

my car is not even dropped and this is the second set of shocks i have gone through. honda replaced them once last april when the car was 1.5 years old and now there are replacing them again and its not even april.
has this happend to anyone else. is there a possibility that the root of the problem is comming from somewhere else

Shocks shouldnt go out that much unless you are driving really crazy, but at least your are getting new ones for free. Try upgrading to performance shocks like koni. But if you dont want that and are tired of going to honda, sell your car and buy something else.

I have only replaced mine once, you should ask Honda why they are giving you crappy shocks.
Perhaps you should check to make sure they are putting in 03 shocks instead of 01 shocks, if it is possible.

i had mine replaced at 4000 miles, and 2 trips to the dealership, they acted like they had no idea, tried to blame it on my wheels and tires.
