MY REAR TIRES CUP AND MAKE EXCESSIVE ROAD NOISE AND CAUSES CAR TO SHAKE. HONDA REPLACED THE CONTROL ARMS AS PART OF A SERVICE BULLETIN AND PAID FOR HALF THE COST OF NEW TIRES.

LOCAL SERVICE GARAGE TOLD ME ALIGNMENT WAS ALL WITHIN SPECS. I'VE FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND DISCUSSIONS WITH OTHER OWNERS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS NOISE DURING DRIVING WHICH APPEAR TO BE FROM THE TIRES AND IT CAN BE ANNOYING AT POINTS. I READ ABOUT THE SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND MY CAR HAS THE PROBLEMS THAT OCCUR TO HAVING A BAD CONTROL ARM. THE INNER PORTION OF MY TIRES ARE WEARING OUT FASTER THAN THE OTHER PARTS OF THE TIRES. HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP I GO TO WON'T COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CONTROL ARMS BECAUSE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE CONTROL ARM ISSUE UNTIL RECENTLY. I HAVE BOUGHT ANOTHER SET OF TIRES BECAUSE THE FIRST SET STARTED TO MAKE THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATE DURING SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH. HONDA SHOULD MAKE THIS A RECALL OR COVER ALL THE COSTS OF REPLACING THESE PARTS EVEN IF THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CAR OWNER SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE. *TR

2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID.... UNEVEN OR RAPID REAR TIRE WEAR, RESULTING IN A ROARING NOISE FROM THE REAR, AND A VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE LATER POISING THE POTENTIAL RISK OF LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. HONDA BULLETIN 08-001 ACKNOWLEDGES PROBLEM BUT HONDA IS NOT WILLING TO BE PROACTIVE BY REPAIRING PROBLEM, WAITING ON CONSUMER TO COMPLAIN. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS INHERENT PROBLEM THAT HONDA RECOGNIZES BUT WILL NOT TAKE ACTION TO REMEDIATE ON VEHICLES THAT MAY PASS WARRANTY LIMITS. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AND ADVISED THEM I WAS MADE AWARE OF THEIR SERVICE BULLETIN 08-001 THAT ADDRESSES PROBLEM I HAD ORIGINALLY COMPLAINED ABOUT TO HONDA CITY, BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS JUST BAD TIRES. DESPITE HAVING MY CAR SERVICED AT DEALMAKER HONDA, AT NO TIME DID THEY APPRISE ME OF THIS SERVICE BULLETIN. A VISUAL INSPECTION SHOWS UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. IF IT IS OBVIOUS TO THE UNTRAINED EYE, WHY DIDN'T THEY NOTE IT ON THEIR ROUTINE CHECKS WHEN I HAD THE CAR SERVICED? I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD CONTACT THEIR CUSTOMERS AND MAKE THEM AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE HIGH SPEED VIBRATION OR TIRE MALFUNCTION COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES AND THE WHEEL, THE FISHTAILING DIMINISHED GREATLY. HOWEVER, ABOUT 3000 MILES LATER THE FISHTAILING IS BACK, WORSE THAN EVER. I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ASAP. *TR
