Since then we went elsewhere for service. After going through 3 sets of tires and ready for the 4th in three years and 80k miles we returned to the dealer and were told that there was a bulletin on some affected cars for rear…

Uneven rear tire wear on 2006 honda civic hybrid caused by flaw of upper control arms. Honda never told me even though i had to replace my rear tires 2 times - once at 15,000 miles and again at less than 31,000 miles. Was told that tire wear was because of how i drove, amount of air in tires, need of alignment although it was within specs, etc. Honda never told me that there was tbs 08-001 or that the repair was…

I have noticed that there is noise during driving which appear to be from the tires and it can be annoying at points. I read about the service bulletin about the upper control arms and my car has the problems that occur to having a bad control arm. The inner portion of my tires are wearing out faster than the other parts of the tires. Honda and the dealership i go to won't cover the replacement of the control arms…

Rear wheels upper control arm (service bulletin 08-001). I have a 2006 civic hybrid that wears the inner edge of the tires excessively. Caused by the defective design of the upper control arm. Having read other similar complaints this should be a national recall or replacement. Not just a service bulletin. It will cost me approx. $327 for this repair and honda should cover it even though my car has exceeded the…

I have a 2006 honda civic that is getting severe uneven tire wear on the back tires. Honda does have a service bulletin (08-001) about design flaw in the control arms that are causing the problem. The issue seems to be, in my experience, that they really don't want to do anything unless you push the issue. And they want to charge for the fix. Unfortunately, i prematurely ruined two sets of tires before i was aware…

Rear tire failure due to improper rear control arms. Inside tread of rear tires wear exceedingly fast and develop cupping. Honda has a tsb for this, but has not had a recall. This could be dangerous to people who just drive their cars, but don't know much about the mechanics of the vehicle. There should be a recall. It seems that this only occurs on 2006 and 2007 civics because in 2008 honda made a change in the…

At about 35,000 miles i noticed that the rear suspension on my 2006 honda civic felt "loose". Every time i hit a bump or pot hole the entire rear of the car would fishtail making it difficult to control. It is manageable on dry roads, but any sort of moisture, especially snow, makes the vehicle undriveable. I took the car to the dealership to asses the problem. I was told there was uneven tire wear, and the front…
