Tires, Oct 21, 2008
I HAD MY 2007 CIVIC HYBRID IN FOR SERVICE LAST WEEK AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE PARTS SUBJECT TO A RECALL THAT AFFECTED THE TIRE WEAR AND THE RIDE. THE RECALLED PARTS, REAR SUSPENSION, AND THE INSTALLATION WERE COVERED BY HONDA, BUT THE EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR WAS NOT. MIKE (SERVICE) CHECKED WITH HONDA WHO SAID THEY WOULD ONLY PAY FOR 30% OF THE NEW TIRES, SO I WOULD STILL BE OUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT 1) HONDA WOULD HAVE A DEFECTIVE PART CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR AND BAD PERFORMANCE, BUT NOT NOTIFY THE OWNERS TO BRING THEIR CARS IN; AND 2) THAT THE EFFECT OF THIS FAULTY PART CAUSED EXCESSIVE WEAR IN THE TIRES, AND THAT HONDA WOULD NOT PAY FOR NEW TIRES. I NOW HAVE TO GET NEW TIRES AT 29,000 MILES WHICH I FEEL IS IN APPROPRIATE. FINALLY, I HAVE RESEARCHED THE APPROPRIATE TIRES FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THERE ARE MANY CHOICES WELL UNDER $100 PER TIRE, AND FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL ME THAT MY REPLACEMENT TIRES WOULD COST $100 + PER TIRE, PLUS INSTALLATION, BALANCING ETC., IS TOO COSTLY. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN TREATED FAIRLY AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA. WHEN A DEFECTIVE PART IS NOT COMMUNICATED TO THE OWNER WHO COULD BRING THE CAR IN TO GET IT FIXED BEFORE THE TIRES WERE TOTALLY DAMAGED, THAT IS THE FAULT OF HONDA. *TR

REAR TIRE NOISE AND VIBRATION FROM 25,000 MILES ON. VISUAL INSPECTION SHOWS FLAT SPOTS ON BOTH REAR TIRES. TOOK IN FOR SERVICE AND HONDA SERVICE RELATED THAT THERE WAS AN UPDATED VERSION OF THE REAR SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM WHICH THEY REPLACED FOR FREE. HOWEVER THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO REPLACE OR EVEN PRORATE TIRE WEAR STATING THAT 30K MILES WARRANTED NO REPLACEMENT. FRONT TIRES SHOW NO WEAR AT ALL. THE TIRES HAVE WORN TO A UNSAFE LEVEL AND HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS SERVICE RELATED PROBLEM FOR MONTHS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA ON RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
Suspension, Tires, Aug 27, 2008
REAR TIRE HOWLING FROM 12,000 MILES ON AND WERE WEARING VERY QUICKLY ON THE INSIDE WHICH IS NOT VISIBLE FROM CASUAL GLANCE. THE TIRES WORN DOWN TO A UNSAFE LEVEL AND HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS SERVICE RELATED PROBLEM FOR MONTHS AND NEVER NOTIFIED ME AS A OWNER AND I HAD THE VEHICLE IN THERE TWICE FOR SERVICE. THE UPPER REAR CONTROL ARMS WERE REPLACED AT 22,000 MILES AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANY TIRE COVERAGE EVEN THOUGH THE FAILURE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS I DID NOT NOTICE IT ON TIME TO KEEP THE TIRE FROM BEING WORN TO A POINT OF SAFETY CONCERN. I HOPE YOU CAN DO SOMETHING TO HELP WARN CONSUMERS WHOM MAY HAVE BAD HEARING AND MAY NOT NOTICE THIS UNTIL THE REAR TIRES CAN BLOW OUT ON THE INSIDE. *TR

I WAS EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE TIRE NOISE FROM THE REAR OF MY 2007 CIVIC LX COUPE. I ALSO FELT A SLIGHT SHIMMY COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. I HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AND IMMEDIATELY BEGAN HEARING A MUCH MORE PRONOUNCED HUM/VIBRATION NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS VERY PERCEIVABLE SHIMMY ON THE STEERING WHEEL BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MPH. I CONCLUDED THAT WHATEVER WAS WRONG IN THE BACK OF THE CAR WAS NOW TRANSFERRED TO THE FRONT AND IT HAD TO BE TIRES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT FLAT SPOTS HAD DEVELOPED ON THE FRONT TIRES (WHICH HAD BEEN ON THE REAR UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE). THESE FLAT SPOTS WERE THE CAUSE OF THE VIBRATION/HUM. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT HONDA DOES NOT WARRANTY TIRES. THE DEALER SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT TIRES AND THAT I SHOULD ALSO ALLOW THEM TO REPLACE THE REAR CONTROL ARM AS A WARRANTY REPAIR. THE DEALER NEVER ACTUALLY SAID THAT THE ORIGINAL FACTORY REAR CONTROL ARMS LEAD TO MY PREMATURE TIRE WEAR. THEY ONLY SAID THAT HONDA WAS ADVISING CUSTOMERS TO HAVE THEM REPLACED AS A WARRANTY REPAIR. I HAD TO PAY FOR TWO REPLACEMENT TIRES AND LABOR - ABOUT $280. *TR

ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 2008 I WAS DRIVING FROM MAR VISTA, CA TO SAN LEANDRO, CA WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD SON AND 20 YEAR OLD SISTER IN LAW. WE WERE ON THE 580 W DRIVING IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AT 65MPH AT 11:30 AM WHEN WE HEARD AN EXPLOSION IN THE REAR OF THE CAR. WHEN WE INSPECTED THE CAR, THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS BLOWN THROUGH. THE SIDE WALLS WERE INTACT, BUT THE WHOLE TOP PART OF THE TIRE WAS NOT CONNECTED TO THE SIDE WALL. MY CAR IS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE EX AND IT HAD ABOUT 8300 MILES. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN JULY 2007. THE CRASH CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR. THE CAR IS NOW AT A BODY SHOP AND IS BEING REPAIRED IN SAN LEANDRO, CA. WE HAVE THE DEFECTIVE TIRE. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT HONDA HAD ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT UNEVEN OR RAPID TIRE WEAR. TSB 08-001 ON FEBRUARY 8, 2008. I DID NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF THIS SERIOUS DEFECT BECAUSE HONDA IS NOT REQUIRED TO NOTIFY CONSUMERS REGARDING TSBS. THIS DEFECT IS SERIOUS AND AFFECTS NEARLY ALL 2006-2007 HONDA CIVICS. THIS TSB NEEDS TO BECOME A RECALL. ALL OWNERS OF 2006-2007 HONDA CIVICS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS LIFE THREATENING DEFECT. I UNDERSTAND THAT TIRES SHOULD BE CHECKED REGULARLY, AND MANY CONSUMERS DO, HOWEVER, MY TIRES DID NOT GIVE ME ANY WARNING OF UNEVEN WEARING. ACTUALLY, IT WOULD BE HARD TO NOTICE SINCE MY 2007 CIVIC COUPE EX IS NOT QUITE ON THE ROAD AND YOU CAN FEEL ANY LITTLE BUMP IN THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL BECAUSE OF THE STIFF SUSPENSION. OVERALL, I SERIOUSLY HOPE THAT THIS IS ADDRESSED QUICKLY. MANY UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS, MANY OF WHOM HAVE DRIVEN HONDA'S IN THE PAST ARE NOT EXPECTING THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WHICH CAN CAUSE TIRE BLOWOUTS AND POSSIBLE FATAL ACCIDENTS. IT WOULD BE UNFORTUNATE THAT A CLASS ACTION SUIT OR THE DEATH OF INNOCENT CONSUMERS PROMPT HONDA TO MAKE THIS TSB 08-001 NOTICE A RECALL NOTICE. *TR

I HAVE A HONDA CIVIC SI, 2007 MODEL, THAT I HAD A FLAT AND REPLACED ONE TIRE. TIRE DEALERSHIP REPLACED TIRE AT AROUND 6000 MILES, WHEN GOING IN TO HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE (ROTATION TIRES, OIL CHANGE) THE SHOP FOREMAN INFORMED ME THAT THE TIRE WAS BAD BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOW PULLING. WHEN STATING PULLING, IT WAS A MAJOR PULL, NOT SLIGHT PULL. I TOOK CAR BACK TO TIRE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO EVEN DRIVE MY CAR, SAID IT WAS NORMAL TO HAVE IT PULL. TOOK CAR TO ANOTHER TIRE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED TIRE. UPON GOING TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR MAINTENANCE, THE NEW TIRE WAS ROTATED TO FRONT OF CAR AGAIN AND IT WAS PULLING AGAIN. SHOP FOREMAN INSIST IT IS THE TIRE. I BRING CAR BACK TO TIRE DEALERSHIP AT WHICH TIME HE REALIZES THAT THE TIRE IS NOT THE RIGHT TIRE. ORDERS THE CORRECT TIRE AND INSTALLED IT AND THE CAR STILL PULLS. NOW THIS IS NOT REPEAT NOT A SLIGHT PULL, BUT A MAJOR PULL. IF I DO NOT HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT I WOULD BE IN THE DITCH OR OTHER LANE UPON TAKING OFF. THE PULL IS REALLY A HARD PULL.

CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN MARCH OF 2007. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING 60 MPH OR MORE ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR SEEMED TO SWERVE AND WAS VERY HARD TO KEEP IN THE LANE. I'VE DRIVEN HONDA CIVICS AND OTHER SMALL CARS FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS SO THIS WAS VERY UNEXPECTED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL DEALER WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES WERE FINE AND THAT THEY SAW NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I CONTINUED TO NOTICE THE DIFFICULTY IN STEERING THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE BRIDGESTONE FACTORY TIRES WERE ROTATED AT 6000 MILES. MOVING THE TIRES SEEMED TO DECREASE THE PROBLEM SO I AGAIN MENTIONED THIS TO THE DEALER. THEY AGAIN CHECKED ALL TIRES AND ASSURED ME NO PROBLEM EXISTED.

I DRIVE ABOUT 120 HIGHWAY MILES EACH DAY AND IN NOVEMBER 2007, I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE REAR TIRE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID THE CAR WAS "IN-SPEC" AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES SOONER. I DOCUMENT EVERY DROP OF FUEL THAT I PUT IN MY CAR. I WRITE DOWN WHEN I CHANGE THE OIL, WHEN I GET IT WASHED AND WHERE. NOTHING DOES UNDOCUMENTED, INCLUDING THE INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN I ROTATED THE TIRES. THAT WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INSISTED THAT I GET THE VEHICLE ALIGNED AND BUY NEW TIRES FROM THEM. I REFUSED AND TOOK MY VEHICLE SOMEWHERE ELSE TO HAVE THE WORK DONE.
