There was a lot of noise from the front end. I took to the dealer (mary sussman honda, abington, pa) and they told me i needed a front end brake job (pads, rotor polishing etc). Two days ago (9/27/12) i had to take to have my rear bearing replaced and they told me i needed front brakes again. Now mileage is 44,500, so only ~18,000 miles from last repair. I think two brake jobs at 40k miles is not right. *tr

Honda has a tsb about the problem but they refuse to fix the problem. The tsb says there is a problem with the rear control arms and that is what causes the excessive wear on the tires. I contacted a couple of dealers about…

Uneven tire wear. Honda claims this is intended but the car goes through brand new tires on the rear every 7500 miles. The rear control arm puts negitive camber and toe on the tire causes the inside of the tire to wear bald very quickly even when drving on the interstate. This is a serious issue, if you dont check the tires daily for wear you wouldn't notice it. I didn't notice it till my tire popped. Luckily i…
