Uneven and rapidly wearing tires on the 2006 civic. These uneven tire problems can quickly turn into braking issues and also lead to difficult to control vibrations, giving me fits when traveling at highway speeds.

I never got informed about this settlement claim http://settlement-claims.com/controlarm/notice.html 2 years ago. Honda service first found a problem on rear control arms and tire wear on march 12th. Why didn't they notice problem before march 12th? Honda service gave me a price of parts and labor. It's $255 on parts (control arms) and $150 labor. Updated 12/21/2015*js

I bought the car used and found out there has been a settled class action law suit because the rear control arm causes excessive wear on the rear tires. I guess i am stuck having to make this repair on my own. *tr

This service was only covered over warranty, unfortunately i don't have extended warranty for my 2006 civic ex. Is…

Lot of vibrations. Howling noise when in reverse. I checked under the hood and found the hydraulic motor mount leaked and should be replaced. I heard there's a lot of this kind of problem in the internet. I guess you guys need to look deeper into this problem to protect us consumers. *tr

Tire wear has been uneven in the rear tires, i had received a repair notice a couple of years ago but i was out of the country for a long time and missed out on the repair window for replacement of tires and super control arm? I think the resulting tire wear is the fault of known defective parts and honda is acting very responsibly in not recaling for this failure/defect

Honda knows this is an issue with these cars. I have two for which i've brought several set of tires. It is very obvious that this is an engineering design flaw. Tires wear out very quickly. Road noise us tremendous with heavy thumping. Rear upper control arms are the problem. *tr

Daughter has been off at college, she advised the rear end was making noises. I had her go and get new tires a couple of times. She advised the rear is roaring and shaking. She came home and i drove the car. I will not let her drive this car again it is very unsafe, i could only imagine what would happen in the rain. The tires are worn uneven on the inside of the rear tires. I did research and found honda has know…

Rear tires wearing very rapidly/poor handling over bumps due to factory defect of rear upper control arms. This causes camber to not be adjusted properly without replacing arms. Honda not willing to stand behind their mistake if vehicle is out of warranty. This can become dangerous because tires at first glance (without being underneath the car) will look like they have plenty of life left but on the inner edge the…

Upon inspection, my mechanic noticed severe wear on rear tires creating a safety hazard, the tires had less than 20,000 miles, mechanic advised rear end alignment due to defective camber parts . Results of research has concluded that honda is well aware of problem due to high number of complaints and have yet rectified this . I suggest a recall with free replacement of part(s) to correct this situation. *tr

My car was having uneven wear of the tires and went to get the tires replaced from firestone, since they were still under warranty. They told me it was the alignment issue, so paid for alignment and new set of tires. Not even 6 months and i started getting humming noise again from the rear side. Turned out that my rear tires were again experiencing the uneven wear. Since on the way back from a road trip, it was only…

Rear control arms too short, causing rear tires to wear unevenly and prematurely. [known issue with several hundred complaints noted online in various forums]. Could contribute to an accident, especially on wet roads if condition of tire is not noted. Same issue also caused excessive road noise and "wobbly" rear end at freeway speeds. Again, could contribute to an accident. *tr

I've now been told this last set of tires is cupping and they are making huge noises while driving - i bought them in august last year. My car shakes and rattles when i drive it. I found honda bulletin concerning this issue online - was never mailed to me - and find it ridiculous that…
