I recently bought new tires and the steel tried is showing through. Honda dealership said that honda was aware of the problem and, if i bought new tires, that they would give me a free alignment. Not cool seeing as honda should give me new tires and fix the problem. My car now makes loud noises due to the tires and, with all the other fixes i am having to get, i am rethinking honda's commitment to customer…

Multiple sets of tires replaced due to premature tire wear on rear tires. Honda tsb 08-001 recognizes geometry issue of negative camber on the vehicle. This is a safety concern for me as i didn't know the tires were wearing prematurely until i had the tires inspected. The handling is affected due to a roaring or thumping vibration coming from the rear of the vehicle. New tires wear in less than 10,000 miles causing…

They replaced the upper control arms with the "supposedly" correct control arms marked c and did an alignment, but that did not solve the problem! I just bought a full set of new tires in july of 2010 and my car was aligned and i am about to need new tires again! In addition, the driver's visor fell off and was…
