2007 HONDA CIVIC Tires Problems

HAD A FLAT TIRE THAT WOULD NOT HOLD AIR, SO ATTEMPTED TO PUT ON THE SPARE TIRE THAT WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH THE VEHICLE (BY ME) AT NALLEY HONDA OF UNION CITY, GA. IT WAS THE WRONG SIZE SPARE TIRE. THE LUG PATTERN WOULD NOT FIT. IT WAS A 16" SPARE INSTEAD OF THE 15" THAT MY CAR CALLS FOR. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT SWAP IT OUT FOR THE RIGHT SIZE SPARE TIRE, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE FIRST TIME OUT OF MY TRUNK (2007 CAR, AND 2007 DATE CODED SPARE). LUCKILY, THE FLAT HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY INSTEAD OF MY DAUGHTER BEING STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

REAR TIRES WEAR BAD ON THE INSIDE. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS NOW. IN THAT TIME I HAVE PUT ONLY 20000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY TIRES TWICE ALREADY ON THE VEHICLE DUE TO UNEVEN WEAR ON THE TIRES. THE CAMBER OF THE TIRES IS AFFECTED BY THE REAR CONTROL ARMS. THIS ALSO CAUSED THE REAR SUSPENSION TO WEAR, WHICH I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN BREAKING MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AFFECTING MY STEERING. THIS IS CAUSED BY THE UNEVEN INNER TIRE WEAR ON THIS VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY ON THIS VEHICLE AND I BELIEVE OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES MIGHT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS ALSO BECOME A QUITE EXPENSIVE PROBLEM FOR ME TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH ON THIS VEHICLE. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, THANK YOU! *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO MOTOR MOUNTS UPPERS AND LOWERS CRACKED AND REPLACED TWICE IN TWO WEEKS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING, SHE HEARD A RUMBLING NOISE AND THE STEERING WHEEL AND DASH STARTED SHAKING. AT THE TIME, SHE DIDN'T KNOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT, UNTIL SHE ARRIVED AT THE REPAIR SHOP.

THE TIRES ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC KEPT SHOW BAD WEAR AND HAD TO ROTATE EVERY 10,000-15,000 UNTIL COULDN'T DO IT ANYMORE, BOUGHT SEVERAL SETS OF TIRES:: SOLVED THE PROBLEM BUY PAYING ALMOST $900 TO FIX THE ARMS ON THE REAR END. SAID THING IS HONDA KNEW AND KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT WONT DO A RECALL... GOOD NEWS IS AFTER ALL MY SETS OF TIRES AND $900 DOLLARS MY CAR IS NOW GETTING GOOD WEAR OUT OF THE TIRES. *TR

I REPLACED THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC AT 49,749 MILES. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A LITTLE PREMATURE, BUT THE TREAD WAS GETTING THIN SO I WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE ON 12-28-2010 AND HAD 4 NEW TIRES PLACED ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER LESS THAN 19,000 MILES ON THE NEW TIRES, THE PASSENGER-SIDE REAR TIRE WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE. THE TECHNICIAN AT DISCOUNT TIRE INSPECTED IT AND STATED THAT THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE TIRE IS CUPPING (OR LOOKS CHOPPY) AND THIS IS TYPICALLY DUE TO BAD SUSPENSION, WHEEL BEARINGS OR ALIGNMENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TOM'S AUTO REPAIR AND HAD IT INSPECTED FOR THE WHEEL BEARINGS AND SHOCKS AND HAD A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT DONE FOR $55.00. THEY STATED THE WHEEL BEARS AND SHOCKS LOOKED FINE AND THAT THE ALIGNMENT WASN'T THAT BAD. I THEN TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DISCOUNT TIRE AND THEY AGREED TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER-SIDE REAR TIRE FOR THE REPLACEMENT COST OF $13.25. THE TECHNICIAN COMMENTED THAT THE DRIVER-SIDE REAR TIRE WAS ALSO STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF THE SAME WEAR PATTERN, I.E. CUPPING ON THE INNER EDGE. THE TIRE WHICH THEY REPLACED IS NOT AVAILABLE AS IT WAS DISPOSED OF BY DISCOUNT TIRE. I RESEARCHED ON-LINE AND FOUND HONDA HAD ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN # 08-001 BACK ON APRIL 11, 2008, WITH A REVISION ISSUED ON FEBRUARY 5, 2009. FROM READING NUMEROUS ON-LINE CONSUMER COMMENTS ABOUT THIS TIRE ISSUE (WHICH IS DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO A HONDA DESIGN FLAW IN THE VEHICLE SUSPENSION), I GET THE FEELING HONDA'S FIX WILL NOT ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

APPROXIMATELY A WEEK AFTER BUYING LIFETIME ALIGNMENT AND 4 NEW BRIDGESTONE POTENZA TIRES IN JULY 2011 AT FIRESTONE, EL PASO, TX, MY CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE IN THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS 50MPH THROUGH 60MPH. AFTER MANY RESEARCH AND DIAGNOSIS FROM HONDA PARTS AND SERVICE SHOP, DIFFERENT FIRESTONE LOCATIONS AND LOCAL MECHANICS, THE CONCLUSION IS THAT THE UPPER/REAR CONTROL ARMS, FRONT AND REAR CAMBER ARM AND BOLTS ARE DEFECTIVE AS PER HONDA MANUFACTURERS. MY TIRES ARE EXCESSIVELY AND UNEVENLY WEARING. I HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT 6 SETS OF NEW TIRES IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS BECAUSE OF THIS HONDA ISSUE, WHICH THEY ADMIT IT IS A DEFECT MADE BY THE MANUFACTURERS. THEY RELEASED A SERVICE BULLETIN (SERVICE BULLETIN 08-001 DATED APRIL 11, 2008) THAT INFORMS HONDA DEALER SHOP OF THIS ISSUE/DEFECT, BUT THEY REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF REPAIRING IT FREE OF CHARGE. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS NOT FAIR THAT CUSTOMERS BUYING HONDAS HAVE TO PAY FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS MADE BY THE MANUFACTURERS. I WOULD LIKE THESE DEFECT TO BE SOLVED AND PAID BY THEM AND I WOULD LIKE REFUND FOR AT LEAST THE LAST SET OF TIRES THAT I RECENTLY BOUGHT AND ARE ALREADY UNEVENLY WORN OUT (THIS MAKES IT A USELESS TIRE). IN CASE IT IS NEEDED I HAVE ALL THE PAPER WORK THAT CAN BE A CLEAR EVIDENCE TO THIS COMPLAINT. LIKE ME, THERE ARE OTHER HONDA OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HEARD LOUD HUMMING NOISE AND THE RIDE WAS ROUGH. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALERSHIP IN BURLINGTON. THEY SAID THE TIRES WERE BADLY CUPPED. NEEDED TO REPLACE TIRES AND GET AN ALIGNMENT. BROUGHT VEHICLE FOR A SECOND OPINION. MECHANIC TOLD ME HONDA HAD TECHNICAL BULLETIN IN 2008 FOR UNEVEN WEAR IN REAR TIRES. THE REAR CAMBER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. COST $250. HONDA WON'T PAY FOR IT EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND NEVER SAID ANYTHING. ADD FOUR NEW TIRES AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND YOUR LOOKING CLOSE TO $1000. IF YOU DON'T GET IT FIXED THE TIRES WILL WEAR DOWN REGARDLESS IF YOU GET TIRE ROTATIONS AND BLOW OUT. LUCKILY NO ONE HAS DIES FROM THIS BUT THIS SHOULDN'T BE THE REASON FOR NOT HAVING A RECALL. LOOK AT THE BLOGS, ETC. HONDA JUST TELLS EVERYONE TO REPLACE TIRES AND GET AN ALIGNMENT. PEOPLE DO AND KEEP COMING BACK TO REPLACE TIRES. HONDA HAS HID FROM THIS PROBLEM. I HAVEN'T REPLACED MY TIRES BUT IF I LISTENED TO HONDA I WOULD HAVE REPLACED TIRES AND BEEN BACK AGAIN IN 20,000-30,000 MILES TO REPLACE TIRES. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT HONDA HID FROM IT'S OWNERS. PLEASE HELP. *TR

POPPING NOISE WHILE TURNING AT 5,268 MILES. REPLACED TWO TIRES AT 19,785 MILES. NEED A FRONT END AXLE REPLACEMENT AT 31,839. DIAGNOSED AND ADJUSTED TORQUED REAR SUSPENSION NOISE AT 60,136. REPLACED REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS 61,275. REPLACED SHOCKS, AND CV BOOTS AT 61,275. STRUTS WERE MAKING NOISE DUE TO CUPPING. STRUTS WERE REPLACED AT 61,275. TWO NEW TIRES THAT WERE RECENTLY REPLACED WERE REPLACED AGAIN. BOTH TIRES WERE FEATHERED AND MAKING NOISE. VEHICLE IS MAINTAINED IN GOOD CONDITION AND IS FOLLOWING THE MANUFACTURER'S MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATION. CAR WAS ALIGNED AS REQUIRED BY MANUFACTURER. HOWEVER, CUPPING OR FEATHERING OF THE TIRES STILL HAPPENED. WHEN THE REAR CONTROL ARM WAS NOT REPLACED YET, THE REAR NOISE WAS SO LOUD AND DRIVING WAS BAD. THE TIRES FELT FLAT AND THE SHOCK ABSORBER DID NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING. IT IS VERY HARD TO DEAL WITH BOTH HONDA AMERICA AND KOLBE DEALER. BOTH COMPANIES TRIED TO PLAY IGNORANT OF THE ISSUES ALTHOUGH THEY KNEW IT ALL ALONG. I SPENT $1,419.11 FOR PREMATURE EXPENSES. AMERICAN HONDA BLAMED THE PREMATURE DAMAGES TO ME. AMERICAN HONDA NOR KOLBE HONDA DID NOT NOTIFY ME OF THE TECHNICAL BULLETINS THAT WERE ISSUED. ALSO, JUST BECAUSE THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN OR CORRECTIVE ACTION DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY. DESIGN OF THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM MUST BE REVIEWED AGAIN AND TESTED FOR GEOMETRY WITH OTHER PARTS OF THE VEHICLE. HONDA AMERICA SHOULD TIGHTENED ITS QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE SO THAT ITS MANUFACTURING FACILITY WILL NOT RELEASE CARS THAT HAVE DEFECTIVE PARTS. HONDA KNEW VERY WELL THAT THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS HAVE DESIGN FLAWED STARTING WITH 2002 HONDA CIVIC. WHY ARE THEY STILL USING THIS DESIGN? IS IT BECAUSE THEY MANUFACTURED SO MUCH OF THE WRONG PARTS? THE BATTERY, AND WATER PUMP PULLEY WERE REPLACED, UPDATED 07/16/12

REAR TIRES ARE CUPPING AND THEY'VE BECOME VERY NOISY AFTER 5,000 MILES. PROBLEM FIRST NOTICED: NOVEMBER 2011. THE REAR TIRES WERE ALWAYS SLIPPERY IN TIGHT CURVES AT NORMAL SPEED. WENT TO ROUTE 23 HONDA, NJ FOR A CHECK UP ON 02/16/12. THEY BLAMED MY NEW TIRES (10000 MILES OLD). CHARGED ME $96.25 FOR A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT, NO PROBLEM FOUND WITH THE REAR WHEELS. I HAVE ASKED THEM ABOUT SERVICE BULLETIN 08-001 (UNEVEN OR RAPID REAR TIRE WEAR) BUT THEY DID NOT ADMIT ANY FAULT. THEY'VE SAID MY CAR DOES NOT NEED A REPAIR AS PER SB 08-001 MENTIONED ABOVE. I HAVE CONTACTED (OPENED ACCOUNT WITH) AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. THEY DID NOT CALL BACK. *TR

I HAVE LESS THAN 65,000 MILES ON MY CAR. IT HAS RECEIVED REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. AFTER REPLACING THE 4 ORIGINAL MICHELIN TIRES @ 38,000 MILES I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR TIRES 3 ADDITIONAL TIMES. THE CAR HAS AN EXTREMELY LOUD "HUMMING" NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END. IT EATS UP THE REAR TIRES QUICKLY, WHICH CAUSE THE CAR TO MISHANDLE. EACH NEW SET OF REAR TIRES WEARS OUT MORE QUICKLY THAN THE PREVIOUS ONES. I JUST BOUGHT THE 4TH NEW SET OF REAR TIRES ON 12/18/2011, DROVE DOWN TO THE LOS ANGELES AREA FROM SACRAMENTO. WHEN I RETURNED, I WENT TO THE TIRE STORE WHERE I PURCHASED THE NEW TIRES, TO GAGE/CHECK OUT ANY POSSIBLE WEAR THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED ON THE TRIP. AT LESS THAN 1000 MILES (850 OF THESE BEING HIGHWAY MILES), THE NEW REAR TIRES WERE ALREADY DOWN TO 8/32. THE HUMMING NOISE IS SO LOUD YOU CAN NOT HAVE A NORMAL CONVERSATION IN THE CAR, OR HEAR A SIREN FOR THAT MATTER AND THE STEERING APPEARS TO BE/FEEL LOOSE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANY SHORT/LONG DISTANCE. *TR

Mileage: 50,000

I AM NOW ON MY 3RD SET OF TIRES FOR THE REAR OF THIS CAR. IT KEEPS WEARING THE INNER REAR TIRES UNTIL THE BELT BECOMES EXPOSED AND HEAT UP. THERE IS A DANGER THAT IF GONE UNNOTICED THAT ONE OF THE TIRES WILL RUPTURE CAUSING A BLOWOUT AND A HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT! *TR

Mileage: 42,000

I REPLACED THE ORIGINAL 2007 TIRES AT 41,887 MILES IN 2009 WITH PREMATURE WEAR. EIGHTEEN MONTHS LATER, I HAD TERRIBLE ROAD NOISE. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BEARINGS. IT TURNS OUT THAT DESPITE AN ALIGNMENT AND PROPER ROTATION, MY TIRES WERE ALL CUPPED IN LESS THAN 26,000 MILES. THE MECHANIC MENTIONED THE PROBLEM HONDA HAD WITH THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS IN THIS VEHICLE. I JUST SPENT ANOTHER $218 TO GET UPDATED REAR UPPER CONTROLS ARMS ON TOP OF $800 FOR NEW TIRES AND ANOTHER ALIGNMENT. HONDA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE POOR QUALITY CONTROL AND NOT ALERTING ME THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM. THE TIRES I JUST REPLACED WERE GOOD FOR 85,000 MILES. *KB

Mileage: 67,825

MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI APPEARS TO WEAR OUT REAR TIRES FASTER THAN FRONT TIRES. THE CAR IS FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. REAR TIRES BECOME WORN UNEVEN AND GET BUMPS ON THEM, THIS CAUSES MY CAR TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE VERY BAD, ALSO MAKES IT HARD TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN. APPEARS LOTS OF OTHER PEOPOLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE TIRES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE REAR TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED THREE TIMES. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS A KNOWN DEFECT AS HONDA ISSUED A TSB TO THE DEALERSHIP DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM, BUT NO NOTIFICATION WAS EVER SENT TO THE CONSUMER. *JB

DANGEROUS HANDLING AND EXTREME UNEVEN TIRE WEAR DUE TO DEFECTIVE REAR SUSPENSION DESIGN. HONDA ISSUES A TSB 08-001 ALERT TO ALL HONDA DEALERS, BUT REFUSES TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE REAR SUSPENSION AT MFG COST. THREE SETS OF TIRES AND A NEW SET OF REAR CONTROL ARMS LATER, AFTER JUST FINDING OUT ABOUT THE TSB 08-001 ALERT, HAS RESULTED IN OVER $3,000 OF REPAIRS TO REPLACE TIRES, BRAKES AND THE FAILED REAR SUSPENSION (CONTROL ARMS) COMPONENTS THAT HAVE CAUSED THESE ISSUES. THERE ARE MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS BOTH ACTIVE AND PENDING. PLEASE CONTACT US WITH QUESTIONS AS WE HAVE DOCUMENTED ALL OUR MAINTENANCE IN GREAT DETAIL. *TR

UNSAFE HANDLING. THE REAR OF THE CAR ABNORMALLY "DARTS" LATERALLY WHEN GOING OVER CONCRETE EXPANSION JOINTS, POTHOLES OR SIMILAR ROAD IMPERFECTIONS. THIS MOMENTARY "DARTING" - OR INABILITY OF THE REAR SUSPENSION TO TRACK CORRECTLY - IS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN CORNERING, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I EXPERIENCED A SPIN-OUT (FORTUNATELY, NO COLLISION) ON A WET ROAD AT 45-50MPH DUE TO OVERCORRECTION FOR THIS "DARTING" CONDITION. IN CONJUNCTION WITH POOR REAR SUSPENSION HANDLING, ACCELERATED AND EXCESSIVE INNER REAR TIRE WEAR IS EXPERIENCED. EFFECTIVELY SHORTENING THE LIFESPAN OF A 35,000 TO 50,000 MILE TIRE BY AT LEAST HALF, IF NOT MORE. IT IS EVEN MORE EXCESSIVE AND ACCELERATED IF THE TIRES ARE NOT ROTATED. AFTER MY SPIN-OUT, I STARTED RESEARCHING 2007 CIVIC HANDLING / TIRE-WEAR ON-LINE AND IT APPEARS MANY, MANY 2006-2007 CIVIC OWNERS HAVE ONE OR BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS AND THAT HONDA IS AWARE, BUT NOT WILLING TO RECALL THIS UNSAFE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM DESIGN/MANUFACTURING FLAW. *TR

Mileage: 35,000

I ALSO SAW THERE IS A TSB RECALL (HONDA TSB 08-001) ON THE 2007 CIVIC BUT NOT ON THE SI ON REPLACING THE REAR ARMS. MY 2007 CIVIC SI HAS THE SAME VISIBLE TIRE WEAR AND TREAD CUPPING WHICH WOULD BE FIXED BY THE RECALL BUT MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED. THE FIX IS A SIMPLE REPLACEMENT OF THE REAR CHAMBER ARMS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND HAD IT IN ON A RECALL FOR THE 3RD GEAR. I'D LIKE THAT SAME TREATMENT AND TO BE INCLUDED ON THE RECALL TO CHANGE MY REAR CHAMBER ARMS. I'M ANNOYED THAT HONDA WILL FIX THE PROBLEM ON ALL THE OTHER TRIM LINES BUT NOT THE CIVIC SI. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES TO EXPRESS DISCONTENT WITH HONDA MOTOR CO. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED AT 21,560 THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON HIS VEHICLE WERE REPLACED DUE TO EXTREME UNEVEN WEAR.

THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAS SINCE PURCHASED HIS THIRD SET OF TIRES FOR THE VEHICLE. *JB

I BOUGHT A NEW 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID FROM A CERTIFIED HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE DESIGN FLAW OF THE REAR TIRE ARMS OF THE VEHICLE CAUSED THE TIRE ARM TO RUB ON THE TIRES OF THE CAR UNTIL THE TIRES WERE NEARLY BALD CAUSING THE CAR TO SHUTTER AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE TIRES TO WEAKEN ENDANGERING ME AND MY PASSENGERS. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA, I WAS FORCED TO REPLACE THE TIRES PREMATURELY 2 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE CAR DUE TO THE IRREGULAR WEAR ON THE TIRES. HONDA DID NOT NOTIFY ME OF THE PROBLEM, REFUSED TO PAY FOR NEW TIRES BUT FINALLY ADMITTED AFTER THE SECOND PAIR OF TIRES WERE RUBBED BALD, THAT THE TIRE ARM OF THE CAR WAS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TIRES. THEY REPAIRED THE TIRE ARM, BUT WOULD NOT PAY FOR NEW TIRES. THE TRANSMISSION OF THE CAR IS ALSO FLAWED IN DESIGN. OCCASIONALLY WHEN ACCELERATING, THE GAS PEDAL OF THE CAR CAN BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WILL NOT CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE AND WILL LOOSE POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT STOP LIGHTS, ENTERING THE FREEWAY, AND GOING UP HILLS ENDANGERING MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY PASSENGERS. HONDA AGAIN, DID NOT NOTIFY ME OF THE PROBLEM, BUT TOLD ME WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AFTER EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEMS THAT I NEEDED AN UPGRADE TO MY COMPUTER AND THAT THOSE UPGRADES MAY FIX THE PROBLEM. THOSE UPDATES TO THE COMPUTERS EFFECT THE BATTERY OF THE HYBRID PART OF THE CAR'S ENGINE. THOSE BATTERIES ARE LOOSING THE ABILITY TO HOLD A CHARGE AND CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL BECAUSE THE CAR RELIES ON THAT BATTERY POWER TO RUN THE ENGINE. THE GAS MILEAGE OF THE CAR HAS ALSO BEEN STEADILY DECLINING. WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW, IT GOT 45 MPG AND HONDA ADVERTISED IT GET 50 MPG, THE CAR NOW GETS AROUND 33 MPG. THE COMPUTER UPDATES ARE CHANGING THE WAY THE CAR RUNS OFF OF GAS AND BATTERY POWER AND HONDA IS NOT REPLACING THE FAULTY BATTERIES. THIS HAS ENDANGERED MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY PASSENGERS BECAUSE THE FAULTY BATTERIES EFFECT HOW THE CAR OPERATES. *TR

HONDA CIVIC - 2007 HYBRID - NEEDS NEW "CONTROL ARMS" AS THE TIRES ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE - APPARENTLY THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT, I'M SURPRISED THERE IS NOT A RECALL YET. I'VE GOT 70K MILES AND FINISHING MY 2ND SET OF REAR TIRES ALREADY - THEY REFUSE TO CORRECT AT NO COST, EVEN THOUGH THEY'VE EVEN PUT OUT A "SERVICE BULLETIN". *TR

HONDA CIVIC HYBRID HAS TIRE WEAR ON INNER PART OF BACK TIRES. AT 21,000 MILES DEALER SAYS THE BACK TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED, THEY SAY IT MAY BE A BALANCE PROBLEM. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND SAFETY BULLETIN INDICATES THE REAR CONTROL ARM IS DEFECTIVE, BUT CAR HASN'T BEEN RECALLED. THE CONTROL ARM NEEDS REPLACEMENT, BUT THEY WILL ONLY GIVE A % OF REPLACEMENT FOR BACK TIRES. IT SOUNDS LIKE IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE UNSUAL TIRE WEAR, WHICH POSES A SAFETY RISK TO DRIVERS. AM CONTACTING DEALER TOMORROW ABOUT PROBLEM. *TR

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID THAT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES ON 3 TIMES AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 45,000 MILES. COUNTING THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME ON THE VEHICLE THAT'S 4-SETS OF TIRES. THESE TIRES WERE 70,000 MILE RATED TIRES. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER IN LITTLE ROCK, AR AND THEY ADVISE THAT THERE IS NO RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, THEY STATED THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ATTRIBUTED IT TO A DEFECTIVE REAR CAMBER ARM. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THERE IS A PUBLIC SAFETY BULLETIN 08-001ON THE PART. BECAUSE NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE DEFECTIVE REAR CAMBER ARM THEY ADVISED ME THAT IT WOULD COST $700 TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ONES. THE EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR CAUSED BY THIS DEFECTIVE PART CAN EASILY RESULT IN TIRE BLOW-OUTS, VEHICLE ACCIDENTS, AND HIGHWAY FATALITIES. THE FACT THAT A KNOWN SAFETY DEFICIENCY EXIST THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF BUT UNWILLING TO CORRECT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A RUMBLING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE REAR SUPPORT ARMS AS WELL AND BOTH REAR TIRES WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHIN TWO YEARS. THE DEALER PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT AND BOTH REAR TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHIN SIX WEEKS. THERE HAD BEEN NO FURTHER REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000. UPDATED 1/19/2010 *CN UPDATED 04/20/11

EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR AND LOUD NOISE FROM REAR OF VEHICLE. WE HAVE REPLACED TWO SETS OF TIRES, ONCE AT 11,000 MILES AND AT 36,000 MILES AND THEY ARE AGAIN WORN AT 58,461 MILES. WE LEARNED OF A SERVICE BULLETIN, SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER : 08-001 DATE OF BULLETIN : FEB 08, 2008, ISSUED BY HONDA AND AFTER MUCH COMPLAINING SINCE WE WERE A FEW HUNDRED MILES PAST THE 3 YEAR 36,000 MILE MARK THE DEALER MADE THE REPAIRS AND ALIGNED THE CAR. WE HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES REGULARLY AND THE LOUD NOISE IS BACK AS WELL AS EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. I FIND IT RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO REPLACE TIRES LIKE THIS BECAUSE THE TIRE WARRANTY IS VOID BECAUSE THE TREAD IN ONE SECTION IS BEYOND THE LIMIT FOR REPLACEMENT. THE HONDA DEALER IS CLAIMING WE HAVE NOT ROTATED THE TIRES ENOUGH/PROPERLY WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON EXCUSE FOR OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PROBLEM TO HONDA. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID VERY RAPID INSIDE EDGE TIRE WEAR. AT 21K WE NEED 3RD SET OF TIRES FOR LOUD EXCESSIVE NOISE AT 25-65 MPH AND EVEN SLOW TURNING . HAVE HAD OUR HONDA DEALER INSTALL THE NEW "C" MARKED CONTROL ARMS AND ALIGNMENT DONE ALSO AT 13K. HONDA REP LOOKED AT CAR TODAY WITH 21K SAID ALL IS OK AND IS TO HONDA SPECS. THIS IS NOT MY IDEA OF A CAR THAT IS MADE CORRECTLY OR IN ANYONE'S SPEC'S ANYWHERE IN THE REAL AUTOMOTIVE WORLD ! REALLY 3 SETS OF TIRES IN 21K MILES "NORMAL" THAT TAKES ALOT OF IGNORANCE ON HONDA'S PART. A STRESSFUL WAITING GAME FOR THE TIRE'S TO BLOW OUT, HEAVEN KNOWS YOU WILL NOT HEAR TIRES GO WITH ALL THE NOISE FROM THEM. JUST HOPE WERE ABLE TO CONTROL CAR AND NO ONE GETS HURT. *TR

I HAVE A HONDA CIVIC 2007 AND I AM EXPERIENCING PREMATURE TIRE WEAR ON THE VEHICLE. THE ORIGINAL TIRES ONLY GOT 18,000 MILES. THE NEXT SET OF TIRES WERE WARRANTIED FOR 65,000 MILES AND I GOT 20,000 MILES ON THEM. THE NEXT SET WAS 60,000 MILE TIRES AND ARE ALMOST WORN OUT AND WILL NEED REPLACING AFTER 22,000 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND TOLD THEM OF MY PROBLEM. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. WHAT CAN I DO? I AM REPLACING THE TIRES EVERY YEAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATE SPEEDS OF 50 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE NEXT WEEK, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT SUDDENLY. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE FAILURE TO BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE MANNER IN WHICH THE TIRES WERE MOUNTED TO THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED A SPECIFIC UNKNOWN TIRE AND AN ALIGNMENT. THE CONTACT CONFIRMED THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI. THE CONTACT REPLACED TWO SETS OF TIRES IN LESS THAN 14,000 MILES. A FRONT END ALIGNMENT HAS ALSO BEEN PERFORMED TWICE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS A CALIBER PROBLEM ON THE REAR TIRES. THE FAILURE HAS CAUSED THE TIRES TO SHRED ON THE SIDE VERY QUICKLY. HONDA HAS ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY. A LOCAL DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE CAUSED THE FAILURE AND THAT THERE MUST BE A FLAW IN THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. THE TIRES HAVE SHREDDED EVERY 5000 MILES. HONDA INSIST THAT THE WHEEL BEARINGS WERE NOT RELATED TO THE FAILURE NOR IS THE FAILURE RELATED TO CAMPAIGN NUMBER 07V399000, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC ANTILOCK WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6000 MILES AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 14000 MILES.

UNEVEN AND RAPID REAR TIRE WEAR IN THE 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX SEDAN 5 SPEED AUTOMATIC. THE UNEVEN AND RAPID TIRE WEAR IS ACCOMPANIED BY CONSTANT LOUD ROARING NOISE FROM THE REAR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEED. MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED REGULARLY ' I PAID THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO COMPLETE WHEEL AND TIRE ALIGNMENT, BALANCE, AND ROTATION EVERY 5000 MILES WHEN I TAKE THE CAR FOR A OIL-CHANGE, YET I ALREADY REPLACED 2 SETS OF TIRES AT 43000 MILES ' ONCE AT 19000 MILES AND ANOTHER ONE AT 39000 MILES. THE TIRES I USED WERE GOODYEAR EAGLE RSA P/N 42751-GYR-036 H/G 8270498 P205/55R16. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MOST DRIVERS SINCE REGULAR DRIVERS DO NOT ANTICIPATE TIRE BALDING EVERY 20000 MILES AND PERHAPS THE DRIVERS ARE UNAWARE OF DRIVING ON BALD TIRES. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM ISSUE BUT REFUSED TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR. THIS PREMATURE WIRE WEARING IS CLEARLY A HONDA DEFECT AND A SAFETY CONCERN. *TW

HELLO, I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX SEDAN. RECENTLY, EVERYTIME YOU GO OVER 45 MPH THERE IS SO MUCH ROAD NOISE THAT THERE IS NO WAY BEING ABLE TO TALK IN THE CAR. WE HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE FOUR SET OF TIRES, RAN A TIRE ROTATION AND THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT IS HAVING PROBLEMS.

IN JANUARY 2009 I NOTICED A SHAKING/VIBRATING COMING FROM THE BACK OF MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX. THE PROBLEM WORSENED UNTIL I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER IN MAY. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE CAR AND INFORMED MY THAT MY BRAKES AND REAR TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AT 30,000, THE REAR TIRES WERE PRACTICALLY BALD. THE DEALER MADE NO MENTION WHATSOEVER OF THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED ACCORDING TO SERVICE BULLETIN 8-001. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC FOR A SECOND OPINION AND WAS TOLD I SHOULD BRING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE MY SHOCKS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I FELT VERY DECEIVED BY THE DEALER; THEY DID NOT WANT TO LIVE UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY UNDER THE WARRANTY. *TR

TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH. AFTER INSPECTING THE TIRE WHEN RETURNING HOME TO DETERMINE ROOT CAUSE OF THE FAILURE THE VALVE STEM WAS FOUND TO BE CRACKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH ONLY ATTACHED BY A SMALL AMOUNT OF RUBBER. INSPECTED OTHER VALVE STEMS AND ALL WERE FOUND TO BE CRACKED ALMOST ALL THE WAY THROUGH. TIRES WERE RECENTLY REPLACED IN THE SUMMER OF 2008. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS THAT HONDA HAS (1) KNOWINGLY PUT IN FAULTY (SUSPENSION PARTS) UPPER CONTROL ARMS IN THE FRONT & BACK OF THE HONDA CIVIC, (2) FAILED TO INFORM CUSTOMERS OF THE PROBLEM (A RECALL IS NEEDED), (3) FAILED TO PROPERLY REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS FOR THE TIRE DAMAGE DUE TO THE FAULTY CONTROL ARMS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLES. I BOUGHT MY HONDA CIVIC USED AT AROUND 13K MILES. SINCE THEN, I'VE NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT EVERY MONTH. DESPITE THIS MY TIRES BECAME EXCESSIVELY WORN AT 27K. I WENT TO TWO HONDA SERVICE STORES (MISSION VALLEY & PACIFIC HONDA IN SAN DIEGO) TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE NEED FOR ALIGNMENTS, ROAD NOISE, & TIRE WEAR. THEY KNOWINGLY WITHHELD INFORMATION & FAILED TO INFORM ME OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN 08-001 SINCE THEY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS (A WARRANTY ITEM) THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO REPLACE. IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN, HONDA INFORMS THE DEALERS OF COMMON COMPLAINTS RELATED TO TIRE WEAR & SUSPENSION & ADVISES THEM TO REPLACE THE REAR CONTROL ARMS ON THE HONDA CIVIC. HONDA ALSO WILL REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS PRO-RATA FOR TIRE REPLACEMENT IF THEY HAVE LESS THAN 25K IN MILEAGE. IF HADN'T HAVE DONE MY OWN RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS SERVICE BULLETIN. I TOOK MY CAR IN AROUND 26K SO THAT THEY COULD REPLACE MY REAR CONTROL ARMS. THEY DID THIS FOR FREE BUT SAID I DIDN'T QUALIFY TO GET MY TIRES REPLACED SINCE I WAS OVER THE 25K THRESHOLD. IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THE BULLETIN, I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET MY TIRES REPLACEMENT BY HONDA EARLIER. IT WAS THEIR FAULTY PARTS THAT LED MY TIRES TO WEAR EXCESSIVELY IN THE FIRST PLACE. I HAD TO SHELL OUT $650 TO REPLACE MY TIRES AT AROUND 26K MILES. I'VE PROBABLY SPENT $500 DOLLARS IN ALIGNMENTS BECAUSE OF THE CONTROL ARMS TOO. HONDA SHOULD OWN UP TO THE FAULTY PARTS ENTIRELY AND STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. SEE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 08-001. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID WITH TIRE PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT UNEVEN TIRE WEAR AND POOR HANDLING AND HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT I AM IMAGINING EVERYTHING. THE TIRES THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE REAR THE LONGEST HAVE SIGNS OF SEPARATION AND VERY DIFFERENT WEAR THAN THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE FRONT THE LONGEST. THERE IS A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH HANDLING WHEN THE WORN TIRES ARE ON THE FRONT BUT MY HONDA SERVICE MANAGER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE TIRES. I EVEN WROTE HONDA HQ AND RECEIVED A RESPONSE THAT THEY KNOW OF NO PROBLEM WITH THE CHEAP BRIDGESTONE TIRES BEING PUT ON THESE CARS. I HAVE READ ONLINE IN FORUM AND BLOGS THERE ARE 100'S OF CIVIC HYBRID OWNERS LIKE ME THAT ARE FACING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE IN AUGUST 2007. I NOTICED A LOUD VIBRATION/THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK OF MY CAR AT AROUND 15K MILES. I KEPT AN EYE OUT AND DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I AM NOW AT 25K MILES AND I JUST HAD TO GET MY TWO REAR TIRES REPLACED DUE TO SEVER CUPPING AND UNEVEN TREAD WEAR ON THE TIRES. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 CIVICS IN REGARDS TO UNEVEN OR RAPID REAR TIRE WEAR AND ALSO FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM HONDA ADMITTING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS. I REALIZE THAT THE FACTORY TIRES THAT ARE PUT ON NEW CARS ARE NOT THE BEST TIRES BUT THEY SHOULD NOT BE SO SEVERELY CUPPED AND WORN AT 25K MILES. I SPENT $400 ON TWO NEW TIRES THIS PAST WEEKEND AND I AM AFRAID AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE THAT I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE TIRES AGAIN AFTER ANOTHER 20-25K MILES IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. I BELIEVE IT IS HONDA'S RESPONSIBILITY TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THEY ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND IT IS ALSO EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING ON TIRES THAT ARE SEVERELY CUPPED AND UNEVEN. PLEASE HELP IN DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS IT IS AS MUCH ABOUT SAFETY AS IT IS FORKING OVER THE MONEY TO REPLACE TIRES EVERY 25K MILES. *TR

I WAS EXPERIENCING LOUD ROAD NOISE FROM THE TRUNK AREA AS WELL AS UNEVEN TIRE WEAR ON BOTH REAR TIRES. THIS VEHICLE HAS 36250 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE NOISE AND TIRE WEAR. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A ROOT CAUSE.

WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN THE OTHER DAY TO HAVE THEM ADDRESS THE 3RD GEAR SYNCRO ISSUE AFTER THEY TOOK THE CAR APART THEY TOLD ME MY CLUTCH PLATE WAS SEVERELY WARN DOWN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I ASKED THEM IF THIS WAS CAUSED FROM THE 3RD SYNCHRO AND I WAS TOLD "NO" BUT I HAVE BEEN READING THAT IT IS A DIRECT RESULT. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH HONDA AND THEY NEED TO INCLUDE ALL THE GEARS SYNCHROS AND THE CLUTCH IN THE TSB. ALSO THE TIRES WEAR ON INSIDE AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SI WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TSB BECAUSE IT HAS A DIFFERENT SUSPENSION. *TR

I HAD MY 2007 CIVIC HYBRID IN FOR SERVICE LAST WEEK AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE PARTS SUBJECT TO A RECALL THAT AFFECTED THE TIRE WEAR AND THE RIDE. THE RECALLED PARTS, REAR SUSPENSION, AND THE INSTALLATION WERE COVERED BY HONDA, BUT THE EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR WAS NOT. MIKE (SERVICE) CHECKED WITH HONDA WHO SAID THEY WOULD ONLY PAY FOR 30% OF THE NEW TIRES, SO I WOULD STILL BE OUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT 1) HONDA WOULD HAVE A DEFECTIVE PART CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR AND BAD PERFORMANCE, BUT NOT NOTIFY THE OWNERS TO BRING THEIR CARS IN; AND 2) THAT THE EFFECT OF THIS FAULTY PART CAUSED EXCESSIVE WEAR IN THE TIRES, AND THAT HONDA WOULD NOT PAY FOR NEW TIRES. I NOW HAVE TO GET NEW TIRES AT 29,000 MILES WHICH I FEEL IS IN APPROPRIATE. FINALLY, I HAVE RESEARCHED THE APPROPRIATE TIRES FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THERE ARE MANY CHOICES WELL UNDER $100 PER TIRE, AND FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL ME THAT MY REPLACEMENT TIRES WOULD COST $100 + PER TIRE, PLUS INSTALLATION, BALANCING ETC., IS TOO COSTLY. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN TREATED FAIRLY AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA. WHEN A DEFECTIVE PART IS NOT COMMUNICATED TO THE OWNER WHO COULD BRING THE CAR IN TO GET IT FIXED BEFORE THE TIRES WERE TOTALLY DAMAGED, THAT IS THE FAULT OF HONDA. *TR

HOWEVER THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO REPLACE OR EVEN PRORATE TIRE WEAR STATING THAT 30K MILES WARRANTED NO REPLACEMENT. FRONT TIRES SHOW NO WEAR AT ALL.

THE UPPER REAR CONTROL ARMS WERE REPLACED AT 22,000 MILES AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANY TIRE COVERAGE EVEN THOUGH THE FAILURE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS I DID NOT NOTICE IT ON TIME TO KEEP THE TIRE FROM BEING WORN TO A POINT OF SAFETY CONCERN.

I WAS EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE TIRE NOISE FROM THE REAR OF MY 2007 CIVIC LX COUPE. I ALSO FELT A SLIGHT SHIMMY COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. I HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AND IMMEDIATELY BEGAN HEARING A MUCH MORE PRONOUNCED HUM/VIBRATION NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS VERY PERCEIVABLE SHIMMY ON THE STEERING WHEEL BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MPH. I CONCLUDED THAT WHATEVER WAS WRONG IN THE BACK OF THE CAR WAS NOW TRANSFERRED TO THE FRONT AND IT HAD TO BE TIRES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT FLAT SPOTS HAD DEVELOPED ON THE FRONT TIRES (WHICH HAD BEEN ON THE REAR UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE). THESE FLAT SPOTS WERE THE CAUSE OF THE VIBRATION/HUM. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT HONDA DOES NOT WARRANTY TIRES. THE DEALER SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT TIRES AND THAT I SHOULD ALSO ALLOW THEM TO REPLACE THE REAR CONTROL ARM AS A WARRANTY REPAIR. THE DEALER NEVER ACTUALLY SAID THAT THE ORIGINAL FACTORY REAR CONTROL ARMS LEAD TO MY PREMATURE TIRE WEAR. THEY ONLY SAID THAT HONDA WAS ADVISING CUSTOMERS TO HAVE THEM REPLACED AS A WARRANTY REPAIR. I HAD TO PAY FOR TWO REPLACEMENT TIRES AND LABOR - ABOUT $280. *TR

ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 2008 I WAS DRIVING FROM MAR VISTA, CA TO SAN LEANDRO, CA WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD SON AND 20 YEAR OLD SISTER IN LAW. WE WERE ON THE 580 W DRIVING IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AT 65MPH AT 11:30 AM WHEN WE HEARD AN EXPLOSION IN THE REAR OF THE CAR. WHEN WE INSPECTED THE CAR, THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS BLOWN THROUGH. THE SIDE WALLS WERE INTACT, BUT THE WHOLE TOP PART OF THE TIRE WAS NOT CONNECTED TO THE SIDE WALL. MY CAR IS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE EX AND IT HAD ABOUT 8300 MILES. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN JULY 2007. THE CRASH CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR. THE CAR IS NOW AT A BODY SHOP AND IS BEING REPAIRED IN SAN LEANDRO, CA. WE HAVE THE DEFECTIVE TIRE. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT HONDA HAD ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT UNEVEN OR RAPID TIRE WEAR. TSB 08-001 ON FEBRUARY 8, 2008. I DID NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF THIS SERIOUS DEFECT BECAUSE HONDA IS NOT REQUIRED TO NOTIFY CONSUMERS REGARDING TSBS. THIS DEFECT IS SERIOUS AND AFFECTS NEARLY ALL 2006-2007 HONDA CIVICS. THIS TSB NEEDS TO BECOME A RECALL. ALL OWNERS OF 2006-2007 HONDA CIVICS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS LIFE THREATENING DEFECT. I UNDERSTAND THAT TIRES SHOULD BE CHECKED REGULARLY, AND MANY CONSUMERS DO, HOWEVER, MY TIRES DID NOT GIVE ME ANY WARNING OF UNEVEN WEARING. ACTUALLY, IT WOULD BE HARD TO NOTICE SINCE MY 2007 CIVIC COUPE EX IS NOT QUITE ON THE ROAD AND YOU CAN FEEL ANY LITTLE BUMP IN THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL BECAUSE OF THE STIFF SUSPENSION. OVERALL, I SERIOUSLY HOPE THAT THIS IS ADDRESSED QUICKLY. MANY UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS, MANY OF WHOM HAVE DRIVEN HONDA'S IN THE PAST ARE NOT EXPECTING THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WHICH CAN CAUSE TIRE BLOWOUTS AND POSSIBLE FATAL ACCIDENTS. IT WOULD BE UNFORTUNATE THAT A CLASS ACTION SUIT OR THE DEATH OF INNOCENT CONSUMERS PROMPT HONDA TO MAKE THIS TSB 08-001 NOTICE A RECALL NOTICE. *TR

I HAVE A HONDA CIVIC SI, 2007 MODEL, THAT I HAD A FLAT AND REPLACED ONE TIRE. TIRE DEALERSHIP REPLACED TIRE AT AROUND 6000 MILES, WHEN GOING IN TO HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE (ROTATION TIRES, OIL CHANGE) THE SHOP FOREMAN INFORMED ME THAT THE TIRE WAS BAD BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOW PULLING. WHEN STATING PULLING, IT WAS A MAJOR PULL, NOT SLIGHT PULL. I TOOK CAR BACK TO TIRE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO EVEN DRIVE MY CAR, SAID IT WAS NORMAL TO HAVE IT PULL. TOOK CAR TO ANOTHER TIRE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED TIRE. UPON GOING TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR MAINTENANCE, THE NEW TIRE WAS ROTATED TO FRONT OF CAR AGAIN AND IT WAS PULLING AGAIN. SHOP FOREMAN INSIST IT IS THE TIRE. I BRING CAR BACK TO TIRE DEALERSHIP AT WHICH TIME HE REALIZES THAT THE TIRE IS NOT THE RIGHT TIRE. ORDERS THE CORRECT TIRE AND INSTALLED IT AND THE CAR STILL PULLS. NOW THIS IS NOT REPEAT NOT A SLIGHT PULL, BUT A MAJOR PULL. IF I DO NOT HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT I WOULD BE IN THE DITCH OR OTHER LANE UPON TAKING OFF. THE PULL IS REALLY A HARD PULL.

CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN MARCH OF 2007. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING 60 MPH OR MORE ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR SEEMED TO SWERVE AND WAS VERY HARD TO KEEP IN THE LANE.

I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL DEALER WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES WERE FINE AND THAT THEY SAW NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR.
