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…

12 tires in 3 years?? Yes we have put 80,000 miles on the car, but this is extreme!

(i had bought a tire 2 weeks previous!! I never saw…

Rear upper control arms cause rear tires to go and stay out of alignment. This causes excessive tire wear and potential failure well before tire's maximum mileage rating. I am on my third set of tires with only 43,850 miles on the car. Honda issued a service bulletin in 2008 about this but didn't inform consumers. *tr

Car was making loud noise but i couldn't tell where it was coming from (except somewhere underneath) kind of a grinding noise. I purchased new tires about 12 months ago because the tires from the factory weren't good in snow (or so i thought). I took it to the dealer and they said i'd need controller arms and new tires because the tires were very worn. It's a 2006 honda civic and about 10,000 miles on those tires.…

I changed the tire and took the car in and the other rear tire had very unusual wear to the belt on the inner part. The same place the other tire separated. In looking this up on the internet it seems to be a common problem with the honda civics and the…

Just wanted to give a shout out to honda... For leaving me freaking high and dry holding a repair bill they created. I know now the problem is well documented... Too bad it's people on the freaking internet helping out, rather than honda. Sorry... But it's absolutely horrible for this "service bulletin" to get swept under the carpet and not sent to the owners of the affected vehicles. I can understand why honda…

I own a 2006 honda civic. The winter of 2007-2008 the car would fishtail almost uncontrollably on snow and ice - not a snow or ice storm necessarily, but really whenever there was snow cover or ice on the roads. We changed tires - twice. The winter of 2008-2009, we were still having the same problem. This time, the dealership suggested an alignment. We had that done, but the tech's who did the alignment would not…
