That piece of information that the civic was purchased at a Toyota dealership came too late in this thread. I thought originally it was not Honda, then it looked like another Honda dealer, and it all didn't make sense.
Toyota selling a Honda is just like any used car dealer. The only obligation they have is to state clearly before sale that the sale is "AS IS", no warranty. AS IS means AS IS. Knowing the car is still under the manufacturer warranty, any inspections of this kind of a car are for a used car dealer just a waste of money. They treat it as an easy sale of a great used car. They were not obliged to take it back.
OP - you made the same mistake the Toyota dealer did, thinking nothing can possibly be wrong with this car. Luckily, Honda took their warranty seriously as they should.
