Car: honda 2007 civic si complaint: car has been driven normally. Excessive inner tire wear on rear wheels eats tires to the threads. Tire must be inspected closely since most of it will appear with plenty of tread. This is a safety issue and honda has already issued a service bulletin on many 2006/2007 civic (but this excludes the si). The problem is identical on the si but honda will not cover it as a defect.…

Rear tire noise and vibration from 25,000 miles on. Visual inspection shows flat spots on both rear tires. Took in for service and honda service related that there was an updated version of the rear suspension control arm which they replaced for free.

Rear control arm need to be replaced. This is a safety issue that honda for some reason doesn't want to do a recall on. This problem has made my tires wear faster than usual. Honda is offering very little towards replacing my tires. I have 17,000 miles on my car. My part was ordered a week ago and still waiting for it to come in. This is covered under warranty. I feel honda should put new tires on my leased car.…

This complaint concerns the defect on the honda 2006-2007 civic of the rear upper control arms. I had mine replaced after only 15 months of use because they were incorrectly manufactured, causing loud vibrations at normal highway driving speeds. This defect also caused excessive and not normal ware on my tires causing me to have to replace them at my own expense instead of on honda's dollar as they wore down due to…

I bought a new 07 honda civic si sedan. The rear upper control arms are not adjustable. In fact they are built to give the rear tires more negative camber for better traction around turns. If i put two people in the back of the car it gives me even more negative camber and with that my i go through tires quick. I have even noticed that when driving through snow the car wants to change lanes by itself. I still have…

I had the tires rotated and immediately began hearing a much more pronounced hum/vibration noise coming from the front of the car. Additionally, there was very perceivable shimmy on the steering wheel between 50 and 60 mph. I concluded that whatever was wrong in the back of…

Tire noise started develop months ago, and got worse on honda civic 2007 with less than 8000 miles. Today, honda s/b 08-001 was done, but tires are not replaced. All four tires have quite noticeable cupping, especially rear inside. Since i drive carefully to achieve 49mpg avg i got on this hybrid on suburban blvds, i believe honda needs to replace tires at their cost as well without prorated schedule mentioned on…

The rear control arms are known to be defective in honda civics. I have had my car repaired but due to tire wear this could result in a safety issue if people do not push their dealerships to make the repair. As of yet american honda motor corp has not issued a recalled even though they are aware of this suspension problem. They have issued a tsb, 08-001, on this problem. *tr

Upon inspection by a local mechanic, he determined that the tires were cupped and unusually worn for a car with only 18,000 miles on the odometer. I had the tires replaced. Since that time i have researched the issue and found that there is a rear suspension control arm service…

I have a 2007 honda civic. Recently noticed a noise from the undercarriage, which sounded like what i have heard before as a result of tire wear. But with just over 15,000 miles, didn't think this was likely. Contacted the dealer where i purchased the car and made an appointment to have an assessment done. The dealer confirmed all four tires bad, inside tire wear and cupping. Suggested i replace the tires with a new…
