    The control arms on 2006-2007 honda civics are defective which causes uneven tire wear in the rear tires. The inside edge of the tires go bald quickly and the rear end of the car begins to 'jump' around on the highway. There is a service bulletin issued by honda (08-001), but they will not fix the problem. The car feels very unstable on the highway. We have had to replace the tires and get an alignment every year.…

    Honda manufactured faulty rear upper control arms, and thus made the car defective causing uneven tire wear in the rear tires. Honda refuses to cover the factory defect and correct the problem. Honda created the problem from day one regardless of the mileage or age of the car. I did not cause the factory problem, due to the fact i did not make the car. American honda is responsible. *tr
