Had to replace tires due to uneven tire wear on the inside tread after 22,000 miles.. Had the rear upper control arms replaces as well. Purchased pirelli tires rated for 85,000 miles. Problem is back again at 27,000 miles on the tires and 65,000 miles on car. Seems like this car goes through tires every 20-25,000 miles. Honda needs to address this problem. *kb

Certain 2006 and 2007 honda civics were produced with improperly spec'ed rear upper control arms resulting in significant damaged to the rear tires (cupping). Honda issued two tsb's but only acts on the problem once the tire damage is pronounced. Cupped tires effect braking, handling, and in extreme cases, tire failure. I own an 06 and 07, all dealer maintained, and of the four dealers i and my daughter have dealt…

In 2008 i noted that the tires of our 2007 honda civic were wearing unevenly. I discovered this when i rotated the rear tires to the front after about 25,000 miles and it just roared. We took it to the honda dealer and were told that there was a problem with the upper rear control arms and they would replace them and prorate the rear tires. At that time i elected to replace all four tires and assumed that honda had…

Our 2007 honda civic ex 4dr began to experience mild shaking during driving with an increased shake the faster we drove. This resulted in almost total loss of control of the vehicle during slight slippery conditions on the highway during the winter because of a fishtailing effect that was being induced. The result is because of rear control arms on this vehicle being manufactured too small causing a negative camber…

Unsafe handling. The rear of the car abnormally "darts" laterally when going over concrete expansion joints, potholes or similar road imperfections. This momentary "darting" - or inability of the rear suspension to track correctly - is more pronounced when cornering, especially at highway speeds. I experienced a spin-out (fortunately, no collision) on a wet road at 45-50mph due to overcorrection for this "darting"…

My 2007 honda civic 2-door coupe had wrong rear suspension upper control arms installed at the factory. At the 30,000 service, the honda dealer rotated tires and i had a severe shimmy in the steering wheel. The dealer rotated the tires back and told me i had defective tires--they had worn unevenly. Rear tires wear also very noisy, especially on smooth roads (load rumble and a "beat"). I had a blow out at 40,000…

September 2007 honda civic hybrid with only 37000km to date. I have noticed excessive vibration and today though out the rear. Driver wheel was out of line, leaning inwards at the top. I visited the dealer and was told the car needed a "rear suspension alignment". I'm an engineer and didn't buy this explanation. Researching on internet this evening i found many reports that there is a major defect with the rear…

We bought a 2007 honda civic ex new. The tires wear out fast and i found out the wrong rear suspension parts are installed . The dealer wants over 300 dollars to install the correct rear control arms. I have googled this problem and found that there are hundreds of civic owners that are facing the same problem and are getting nowhere with honda. What does it take to get a car company to stand behind its product? *tr

Honda civic - 2007 hybrid - needs new "control arms" as the tires are unsafe to drive - apparently this is happening a lot, i'm surprised there is not a recall yet. I've got 70k miles and finishing my 2nd set of rear tires already - they refuse to correct at no cost, even though they've even put out a "service bulletin". *tr

I also saw there is a tsb recall (honda tsb 08-001) on the 2007 civic but not on the si on replacing the rear arms. My 2007 civic si has the same visible tire wear and tread cupping which would be fixed by the recall but my car is not included. The fix is a simple replacement of the rear chamber arms. I bought this car brand new and had it in on a recall for the 3rd gear. I'd like that same treatment and to be…
