I bought a new honda civic, 2006, and within one year, all four tires had excessive wear and had to be replaced. The dealer said it "happens". I had about 12k miles on those tires. Now, again after one year, i have to replace my rear tires due to unusual wear. I have read that it is a design fault of the car.- upper control arms. I bought this car to save money, not to have to buy tires annually and have an unsafe…

I was told it was a tire issue and to talk to a bridgestone dealer. The tire dealer told me that the tires that come on the car aren't the best quality…

I own a 2006 honda civic. I purchased it new and have been satisfied with the vehicle with one exception. The rear tires wear unevenly (flat spots) causing a roaring sound that is very annoying. Also, during high speed (45 - 70 mph) the vehicle vibrates as if the wheels were out of balance. This could present a safety hazard. When i first experienced this problem i thought that it may have been my fault for not…

I own a 2006 honda civic. The rear tires are cupping (others call it see-saw pattern ). There is technical service bulletin for the lower control arm, dated february, 2008 that exactly describes the problem. The vehicle had three sets of new tires since it was purchased. First i thought it was a tire problem and i kept changing the tires, only to discover after the car was out of warranty, that it was a…

I bought a new 2006 honda civic and took delivery in july 2006. From the time of delivery of the vehicle, it was noticeable that the rear end or rear tires of the honda civic were very noisy. Lacking sufficient time, i did not investigate the noise until our trip to arizona in early march, 2007. When we arrived in arizona, i got down on my knees for the first time to examine the rear tires. To my amazement, they…

My 2006 honda civic fishtails terribly, especially in the winter but even in the summer on dry pavement when i hit even little bumps the car shifts to the side. It forces me to slow down but it gets worse between 30-40 miles per hour. I have not crashed due to the problem (yet) but in certainly concerns me and my wife refuses to drive our car! *tr

2006 honda civic has the worst tire wear/vibration of any car i have ever had...it's not safe for my family or others on the road. Honda is aware of the problem and is not fixing it. It's been blamed on multiple issues. This is a serious issue and should be addresses. I have now gone through going on 3 sets of tires. My car only has 50,000 mile on it!!! *tr

I immediately took the car back to the dealer to have…

I purchased 2006 honda civic 4-dr. The rear of the car is lower on the drivers side by approximately 1/2" to 3/4". This is very noticeable and i am worried it may be a safety hazard. I have seen other model vehicles that look like they have the same problem. I have also seen the same complaints online. Took to dealership and they said they could not find a problem. Also took back a 2nd time with no positive…

Now, on 4th set of rear tires with 40k on the vehicle and reports of accidents at websites such as ( http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f0f75f0/16 ). Honda has finally issued a service bulletin in canada for new upper rear control arms but…
