My 2007 hit 80,000 miles and i just had to get my third set of rear tires (after the originals) because of extremely fast wear in a cupping pattern. It has gotten so bad that between one oil change to the next my independent mechanic told me i needed to replace two year-old tires immediately because they were in danger of the tread separating from the body of the tire and causing an accident. The abnormal tire wear…

Tires wear out , due to weak stabilizer bars on rear end, honda replaced the stabilizer's, and aligned car, however don't pay to replace tires, only way to know you have a problem is to take car to dealer, if you get you service anywhere else, you don't know you have a problem. I took car in for oil change and got the word about the service bulletin. *tr

I have to replace the tires every 30000 miles due to uneven tire wear. I guess there is a known problem with a faulty rear arms that honda keeps ignoring after so many complaints. Sure way to lose customers when you pride your self in quality but not delivering. *tr

I got the car from my grandfather and it had about 20000 miles on it, after about putting 6000 miles on it myself i had to replace the tires and i always noticed the car was loud while driving and just figured it was normal and i guess i got used to it although anyone who rode in it would mention the load noise(like having mud tires on it). Well after about 5 sets of tires(the car now has 120,000 miles) i just now…

I purchased a slightly used civic from a dealer in january of 2009 and began to drive it on icy roads in ontario winter. My wife who usually drives the car complained she was scared to drive it if there was any ice on the road surface because the car would suddenly shift position sideways in the lane. I found the rear tires worn out very fast on the inside of both wheels. I did some research and found out honda had…

The control arms on my vehicle are defective and were part of a service advisement. The issue is causing excessive tire wear and tire cupping. This is a serious issue which has the high potential to cause an accident and injuries. I am replacing my tires frequently due to the excessive wear and tear. I am angry that a recall has not been issued due to the seriousness of this matter. I will not let my teenagers drive…

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving approximately 25 mph, a loud whining noise emitted from the rear of the vehicle. The contact continued to drive. The vehicle was taken to a tire center three different times for the similar failure where the replacement of both rear tires was performed each time. The tires defect was due to premature wear which was contributed to the faulty rear upper control…

My complaint is that honda has (1) knowingly put in faulty (suspension parts) upper control arms in the front & back of the honda civic, (2) failed to inform customers of the problem (a recall is needed), (3) failed to properly reimburse customers for the tire damage due to the faulty control arms installed in the vehicles. I bought my honda civic used at around 13k miles. Since then, i've needed an alignment every…

We bought this car new from the dealer in '07. We have been putting 3 to 4 sets of tires on this car per year, for the last five years, that is not acceptable....it runs in to money and is very unsafe in the winter time. While checking on the internet, i found alot of other people with the same problem. We all feel this should be a recall. Even replacing the rear upper control arms does not fix the problem, we have…

My 2007 honda civic ex started to vibrate excessively at highway speeds and there was an incredibly loud "howling" noise coming from the back tires. I took it in repeatedly and was told that my tires were fine, and that essentially i was imagining this problem and or blowing it out of proportion. It was only recently that i learned of honda's service bulletin 08-001 for uneven and or rapid tire wear. With…

I am on my 3rd set of tires on a car that has 58,000 miles. Research shows that this is a common problem on honda civics for 2006-2007. There seems to be a problem/defect in the design of the car and honda is not standing behind their product. We need help. *tr

2007 honda civic lx vibrates excessively at approximately 70 mph shaking driver and passengers to the point that conversation via bluetooth hands free device is greatly impaired. The vibration has already led to early tire wear and the vehicle pulls to the right when driving. I have already paid for wheel alignment twice and replaced both rear tires once and a second rear tire a second time seemingly due to this…

Rear tire wear to the belts. No adjustment of camber possible. Owner has no way to prevent this dangerous and expensive wear. These vehicle should all be recalled and rear camber adjustable components installed regardless of vehicle miles. Wear happens very quickly and is not shown at all on the front tires which have a fully adjustable suspension. *tr

After 16000 mi the rear tires where cupped and worn to the belts on the inside edge, purchased new tires and 15000 mi later the exact same abnormal tire ware was experianced. Dealer replaced rear upper control arms which were defective from the factory but i had to pay for tires, labor, and a 4wheel alignment. Honda needs to step up and admit that its tsb should be a recall!!! *tr

My 2007 honda civic (currently 42,000 miles) has a loud noise and vibration when driving. The sound has become worse as the more miles i drive. When the rear tires are rubbed across, flat spots on the tires can be felt. Honda wrote a repair forum stating that the cause of this is the improper design of the rear upper control arms. These arms are too short causing the camber of the wheels to be incorrect. I have…

Excessive tire wear on rear of 06 and 07 honda civics due to a combination of the tires and rear suspension geometry. Tires are rendered unsafe and must be replaced along with upper control arms and flange bolts. Tires are from goodyear, bridgestone, and dunlop. Numerous posts are on the internet, including accidents with property damage. Honda has not issued a recall and will only perform service on a customer…

There has been uneven tire wear, particularly at the rear of our 2007 honda civic. Ever since we bought the car. The feathering of the tread resembled a tracking problem, but we also had wheel bearing failures. Three were replaced over the last 3 years. The dealer never checked the track despite my queries. I now find that there is a honda service bulletin that was issued regarding rear suspension in february 2008.…

The rear suspension has a "geometry problem", the upper control arms are too short resulting in negative camber which causes the rear tires to wear out quickly on the inside edge. I bought new tires and they are ruined after 12k miles. Apparently honda is aware of the problem, there is a honda service bulletin 08-001 about it sent to dealers. As for safety, the rear tires appear to be fine from the outside, plenty…

Tire vibration started at 5,000 miles. Dealer rotated and balanced tires and said you are all set. Driving home on the highway noticed vibration was still present. Next visit took service for a ride and they said it sounded like bad rear wheel bearing that they did not stock. Left the car for two days and when i came pick the car up they said we changed the right front wheel bearing? I said i was told they were…
