Honda issued a service bulletin on this problem and i am reading many complaints on edmund's internet sight complaining about the…

    In august of 2006, i purchased a 2006 honda civic from bob howard automall in oklahoma city, oklahoma. Little did i know that this car was flawed from the beginning and honda america knew it and did nothing to let any consumers know about this defect. The flaw in the car is that the rear axle is flawed and is causing tires to wear abnormally, thus causing flats and blowouts that consumers are unaware off. Currently…

    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…

    Tire failure around 27,000 miles from excessive wear on rear tires despite regular maintenance procedures. Possibly due to rear control arm malfunction which manufacturer will not inspect. Also, manufacturer has replaced under warranty both sun visors due to splitting of plastic (most likely due to bad engineering without consideration of interior heat). *tr

The tires get noticeable flat spots on them and the tread wears very thin on the inside of the tires. 2 years ago we became extremely close to have one tire blow out on us as it was worn almost through the entire tire.
