    I had uneven wear on my tires and had an alignment accomplished by a certified mechanic at firestone. After several attempt to align the camber on the right back rear tire they were forced to leave it at -1.7...which is .02 out of tolerance. The camber adjustment are is in proper working order but the mechanic says this is a constant problem with 2006-2009 hondas due to the arms design. This is a serious problem…

    My 2009 (automatic) honda civic ex slipped into neutral four during the night. For the first three times, the driver would allow the rpm's to drop causing us to sit in traffic for an undefined period of time before returning the car to the drive position. On the fourth time this happened, driver and i were in a large parking lot making a right turn with a building about a football field away. About halfway through…

    Clunking noise when turning left or right at any speed. Dealer found 2 bolts that hold down steering rack were loose, bolts were torqued down. Other members on forums that were visited experienced similar issues but certain dealers blame aftermarket parts resulting in the noise. If these bolts were to fall out possible steering loss could result. *tr
