I replaced the original 2007 tires at 41,887 miles in 2009 with premature wear. Eighteen months later, i had terrible road noise. I thought it was the bearings. It turns out that despite an alignment and proper rotation, my tires were all cupped in less than 26,000 miles. The mechanic mentioned the problem honda had with the rear upper control arms in this vehicle. I just spent another $218 to get updated rear upper…

I have less than 65,000 miles on my car. It has received regular scheduled maintenance from the honda dealership. After replacing the 4 original michelin tires @ 38,000 miles i have had to replace the rear tires 3 additional times. The car has an extremely loud "humming" noise coming from the rear end. It eats up the rear tires quickly, which cause the car to mishandle. Each new set of rear tires wears out more…

Car is very unstable when subjected to crosswinds. Steering corrections have to be constantly made to keep the car on course. This is extremely dangerous as overcorrections can happen. I notice other similar size cars i'm following on the highway in the same conditions are not nearly affected as i am. I purchased the car used with 60k miles back in 10/2010 and it has always been a problem. I had the rear upper…

I bought a new 2007 honda civic hybrid from a certified honda dealership. The design flaw of the rear tire arms of the vehicle caused the tire arm to rub on the tires of the car until the tires were nearly bald causing the car to shutter and the structure of the tires to weaken endangering me and my passengers. When i took the car to honda, i was forced to replace the tires prematurely 2 times since owning the car…

Honda civic hybrid has tire wear on inner part of back tires. At 21,000 miles dealer says the back tires need to be replaced, they say it may be a balance problem. I researched the problem and safety bulletin indicates the rear control arm is defective, but car hasn't been recalled. The control arm needs replacement, but they will only give a % of replacement for back tires. It sounds like if the problem is not…

There is "popping/crackling" noise coming from the front suspension, which is occurring in many other civics. Seems like a faulty "bump stop" which american honda should be responsible for because its happening in many cars. Secondly, the cheap paint which is used on their vehicles, they recently had a tsb on certain colors, its not only 3 colors which have this issue, i have a galaxy grey metallic which has paint…

At 32,000 my tires were completely bald and worn. I brought my car to…

The front anti-sway bar on the 2007 honda civic ex is dangerously weak. The slightest side wind while driving on the interstate causes the front end to lift up on one side, causing the car to be unstable. Twice i had to swerve on the interstate. Both times i thought the car was going to roll down the highway. I feel very lucky to be alive. After replacing the front anti-sway bar, the rear end still had some sway, so…

The rear suspension and the rear upper control arm cause excessive and premature wear on tires requiring replacement of premium tires after only 20,000 miles or less. My car has about 80k miles and is in need of its 4th set of tires. Needles to say the wear create unsafe conditions while driving faster than 50mph making driving on the interstate a risky endeavor. *tr

2007 honda civics eat up tires. Something is wrong with the suspension of the car that causes the tires to wear at unevenly and dangerously quick. We only get 1/3 of the warranty life of tires and when we replace the technicians tell us the tires are unsafe to drive on. They are worn unevenly, blistered on the inside so much that wires are sticking through. This is a common complaint for this vehicle. *tr
