Loud vibration and noise coming from the rear of my 2007 honda civic. Took it to the dealer who told me the control arms had been recalled and that my tires were now "cupped". The dealer replaced the control arms but would not replace the tires which had been damaged. *tr

During my last tire rotation on april 14, they did not…

2007 honda civic si sedan, the rear suspension is defective causing premature tire wear, in less than 30,000 miles i had gone through two sets of tires, and two rear bearings. Rear bearings were replaced under warranty, but i paid for the tires. The dealer refuses to replace the rear control arms, which means that the brand new tires will also wear prematurely, and possibly another set of rear bearings... *tr

I have a 2007 honda civic that i bought new. I have had it serviced regularly, and each time i have told the dealer that i hear a loud noise in the rear.

The car only had 18500 miles on it at the time, so i was flabbergasted. The service advisor suggested i was driving the car too aggressively. While researching replacement tires online, i discovered that this premature tire wear had happened to many other civic owners. In…

Premature tire malfunction--severe checker board fashion cupping across the tires tread made us replace the rear tires on our 2007 honda civic. This is not a tire problem as our front tires are wearing normal. The problem is a design flaw, honda used too short of rear control arms on their rear suspensions. A recall has been issued for some 2006/2007 civics, but not all. Please be advised that many other civics need…

The inside rim of both rear tires wear excessively fast. I was…
