My honda civic experienced severe rear tire wear on the inside edges about 10 months after purchase (as a new vehicle). In october 2009, the dealer replaced both rear upper control arms as described in honda service bulletin 08-001, which has since been replaced by sb 13-047 (attached). The arm replacement was intended to return the tire camber angle to zero (see alignment criteria in last page of tsb) so the the…

I own a 2008 honda civic. I purchased a set of ecopia ep 422 tires about 3 years ago. Since then i have had three flat tires. My first flat happened while on my way home. I was on a highway going about 70 mph. (my tire pressure gauge on my dash is faulty so i didn't think anything of it when it came on since i routinely check my tire pressures.) about a minute later i noticed the road noise seemed louder than…

Ganley subaru of bedford, oh (ganley bedford imports, inc.) sold this pre-owned 2008 honda civic si with no tpms sensors. The tpms warning light was on, and ganley subaru stated that only an "update" (to the ecu) was needed due to a tire replacement of all four tires, when in reality they allowed a vehicle with no tire pressure monitoring sensors to be sold.

I've had to replace the tires on my honda civic prematurely because of "flat spots" that would appear and lead to extreme noise inside the cabin while driving. I've researched and asked the tire stores and they bascially stated that they see this a lot in the 2008 civics. If i didn't rotate the tires every couple of thousand miles this would happen over and over. After replacing all four tires recently the noise…

Rear tires cup after only a few thousand miles. Constantly replacing rear tires. Honda recalled the '06 & '07 models for this but claimed they fixed the issue in '08. It doesn't seem to be the case.

I drove for months with an excessive vibration. ('cause i'm an idiot!) i finally took it in a couple of months ago because i had to drop to 10-20 miles below the speed limit to avoid rattling my brains out. I had to replace all four tires and get an alignment. At the time the mechanic told me i had a really odd wear pattern, he'd never seen. Today i found out about the problem report issued by honda about this very…

The vehicle has defective upper control arms and flange bolts which cause the tires to wear fast and dangerously, as well at cause the car to shake in the back while driving. This is a defect in the car and honda will pay for it but only if the vehicle is still under factory warranty. By the time i bought the car and noticed the problem it was out of warranty. This is unacceptable! It is a defect! They should have…

At 78,000 miles i began to notice unusual road noise. ( humming) less than a year later i'm experiencing horrific road noise (peaks near 55 mph) and now unusual tire wear. Tires are rotated, balanced and front end aligned regularly. I thought maybe bearing problems. Local mechanic checked and said no. Tire dealership thought the same, checked and said no. Honda dealership said tires needed rotation to eliminate the…

Premature tire wear. Since 2008 when i bought this car, i have put on five sets of four tires for a car that now has 140000. Each set was from name brand tire companies like michelin, bridgestone, etc. In addition, each set's mileage warranty ranging from 50000 to 80000 miles. At 140000 miles with five top rated tire sets, i have not reason to believe that it is tire company. Instead, it clearly looks like honda's…

At about 15,000 miles, we had to replace the original 2 rear tires due to uneven wear. We replaced the tires and had to replace them again at 40,000. Now, at 60,000, the rear tires are unevenly wearing again so much so that the car is nearly undrivable on the highway due to the shaking. We've had the alignment and balance checked multiple times and nothing has been off and the tires have been rotated at every other…

When i purchases the car in 2008, even during the test drive, the car seemed excessively loud but the salesman stated that it was just the bad road we were on. I purchased the vehicle and the sound just got worse, to the point that i could not even hear people while using my cell phone. I had to purchase 3 sets of tires in addition to the original set. Each time, the mechanic told me the tires were to the point of…
