Mechanic indicated assembly needed to be replaced. Found that issue appears to be the same as that detailed in honda service bulletin no.: 08-001, also detailed in nhtsa id number: 10024687.…

I have found out that the reason for my irregular wear on my tires has not been alignment problems but a problem that honda has had with not having the right rear upper control arms. I have went through multiple sets of tires and alignments before finding this out. I contacted honda after this find and they are not willing to help in the cost to repair this. *tr

The rear wheels had excessive and uneven tire wear on the inside of both tires, because of the rear upper control arm being too short, causing the camber to be out. This in turn, caused misalignment and excessive tire wear. I had no warning of how fast my tires were wearing out, and they almost wore to the steel belt, which could have caused an accident. I regularly service my honda civic at the honda dealer for…

I replaced the original tires on my 2007 honda civic at 49,749 miles. I thought this was a little premature, but the tread was getting thin so i went to discount tire on 12-28-2010 and had 4 new tires placed on the vehicle. After less than 19,000 miles on the new tires, the passenger-side rear tire was making a loud noise. The technician at discount tire inspected it and stated that the inside edge of the tire is…

I've had this car since new and it absolutely eats tires in the rear. The tire wear is not adjustable and eventually leads to premature tire failure. I've had this happen to me 2 times on highway driving, where the tire has had a blowout. Honda is aware of the issue with a design flaw in the rear control arms that causes the wear, but refuses to fix the problem. They have redesigned the control arm, but it does not…

The front left suspension began to exhibit a metallic clunk noise when driving over bumps. The concern was that this problem would lead to a total failure of the front suspension system. A honda dealer assessed the cause to be a failed front suspension bumper stop, which has a honda service bulletin, number 07-078 (nhtsa number 10043607), dated march 2, 2012. This technical service bulletin was accomplished on the…

Two new tires were purchased and the rear upper control arms were replaced. The problem still exists to this day after consulting two different honda garages they both confirmed that the rear control arms were installed correctly and are within spec. Both garages…

I went to honda dealer for maintenance and found out that my rear tires are wearing prematurely and unevenly. I only have 38000 miles on the car and regularly maintained at honda dealerships. Dealer suggested me to change all four tires for that and alignments + replace rear upper arm, which is causing uneven wearing of rear tires. However honda is not doing anything about this issue and they charges customers for…

Rear tires are cupping and they've become very noisy after 5,000 miles. Problem first noticed: november 2011. The rear tires were always slippery in tight curves at normal speed. Went to route 23 honda, nj for a check up on 02/16/12. They blamed my new tires (10000 miles old). Charged me $96.25 for a 4 wheel alignment, no problem found with the rear wheels. I have asked them about service bulletin 08-001 (uneven or…

The tire dealer says rear tires are wearing prematurely and rear control arms must be replaced or new tires installed today will also wear prematurely. Rear tires are cupping. This causes terrible road noise and a rough ride. Honda issued a factory service bulletin to dealers in 2008 about the control arms having a design defect that causes tires to wear prematurely. However, they never informed their customers of…

Dealer has not said cost of incorrect part is covered, and i will have to buy two new tires, replacement cost of both…
