ELDERLY MOTHER DRIVES THIS CAR. SHE DRIVES SLOW AND KNOWS VERY LITTLE ABOUT CARS. I BORROWED HER CAR TO FIND IT VIBRATING EXCESSIVELY FROM THE REAR WITH LOUD TIRE NOISE FROM THE REAR AS WELL. FOUND SCALLOPED REAR TIRES IN POOR, DANGEROUS CONDITION. REPLACED TIRES THINKING THEY WERE FAULTY TIRES. PROBLEM RECURRED ONLY SEVERAL MONTHS LATER. REPLACED TIRES AGAIN, DIFFERENT BRAND AND HAD THE REAR SUSPENSION WORKED ON PER HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN. PROBLEM KEEPS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AND WE MUST KEEP REPLACING THE TIRES. I'M TIRED OF SEEING MY MOM BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND CONTINUOUSLY SPENDING MONEY ON PROBLEMS THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I'M SCARED THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET HURT. IF THE TIRES BLOW OUT, MY MOTHER MIGHT LOSE CONTROL. YES, THIS "WILL" CAUSE ME TO FILE A LAWSUIT ON HONDA BECAUSE THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM ON THESE CARS AND I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE MECHANICS TELL ME SO. WE COULD SELL THE CAR BUT THEN SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT BE IN DANGER OF BLOW OUTS. HONDA SHOULD MAKE IT RIGHT...AT THEIR COST.... BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

TIRES HAVE WORN UNEVENLY DUE TO REAR BALANCE ARM/ STRUT ASSEMBLY ISSUE WHICH HAVE CAUSED THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO CANTER AND BE TOED IN, WHICH IN TURN HAS ALSO DAMAGED THE SUSPENSION/SPRINGS. CAR NOW LEANS TO DRIVER SIDE IN THE REAR. CAR HAS HAD 4 SETS OF TIRES AND HAS LESS THAN 90,000 MILES. DUE TO UNEVEN TIRE WEAR THE CAR IS EXTREMELY LOUD (EAR DAMAGING LOUD) AND VIBRATES (SHIMMIES) AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40MPH. WE WERE TOLD BY A HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT ONLY AN AFTER MARKET ADJUSTABLE BALANCE ARM WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AMERICAN HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE ANY ACCOUNTABILITY. *TR

I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES FOR THE SECOND TIME ON THIS CAR. THE CAR IS EXPIRING UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. THIS DOES EFFECT BRAKING OF THE CAR AS WELL. HONDA HAS ADMITTED THAT THE REAR CONTROL ARM IS TO SHORT EFFECTING SUSPENSION AND TIRE WEAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE VISIBLE PART OF MY TIRE LOOKED FINE, PLENTY OF TREAD AND ABOUT 38000 ON A 90000 MILE TIRE. THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE WAS SO WORN IT ACTUALLY HAD A HOLE WORN IN IT. THIS WEAR ISSUE COULD CAUSE A TIRE TO FAIL WHILE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. PLEASE HELP THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES GET A RECALL FROM HONDA BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT. *TR
