THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH AND FELT A SEVERE VIBRATION ACCOMPANIED BY A WHINING NOISE FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT BOTH THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER TIRES WERE OUT OF ROUND AND EXHIBITED SIGNIFICANT CUPPING.

WE PURCHASED 2009 HONDA CIVIC LX NEW IN LATE 2009. BY JULY OF 2010 WE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR (36K MILES). I REGULARLY ROTATED TIRES EVERY 7000K MILES. 3/20/12- I REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES AGAIN DUE TO SEVERE CUPPING ON BOTH REAR TIRES. HONDA DEALERSHIP STATES IT IS A CONTROL ARM ISSUE CAUSING TIRE DAMAGE BUT WOULD NOT PAY FOR PART OR LABOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY HONDA FOR FREE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT BEING INVOLVED IN A CRASH AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 69,700. ..UPDATED 04/26/12 *BF THE CONSUMER CHECKED THE INJURED BOX. UPDATED 05/30/12

MY 2009 HONDA CIVIC SI, BOUGHT NEW, HAS BEEN LEAKING OIL AFTER OIL CHANGE AND THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT CANNOT FIND WHY IT IS LEAKING EXCEPT THAT IT IS COMING FROM THE FILTER. I WAS CHARGED $100 FOR DIAGNOSTIC FEES THAT DID NOT FIND ANY OTHER FAULT BESIDES A 'LEAKING FILTER'. THE DEALERSHIP SIMPLY ASKED ME TO BRING THE CAR IN, CHANGE THE FILTER, AND CONTINUE THIS CYCLE UNTIL IT DOESN'T LEAK ANYMORE. THE FIRST INCIDENCE TOOK 4 VISITS. I JUST HAD ANOTHER SCHEDULED SERVICE AT A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP, AND THE CAR IS LEAKING OIL HEAVILY IN MY DRIVEWAY AGAIN. MY CAR WAS NOT LEAKING OIL WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE. THE OIL IS COVERING MY SUSPENSION AND VARIOUS UNDERBODY COMPONENTS. *TR

PROBLEM: LOW AND FLAT TIRES. I HAVE TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRES EVERY WEEK USUALLY BETWEEN 5-10 POUNDS. I HAVE 21,000 MILES NOW - AT 10,000 I REPLACED TWO OF THE MICHELIN TIRES WITH TWO GOODYEAR AND STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY DEALER SAYS THEY DON'T COVER TIRES - BUT THEY WON'T ENTERTAIN THE THEORY THAT MAYBE IT IS THE WHEELS. *TR

I WAS CURRENTLY IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 HONDA CIVIC 2 DOOR COUPE. THE ACCIDENT ACCRUED DUE TO WET ROAD CONDITIONS, WHICH CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL AND 360 ON A HIGHWAY AND SLAM INTO AN EMBANKMENT AND ROLL OVER 4 TIMES. AS I WAS INJURED THANK GOD IT WAS NOT LIFE THREATENING, AS IT COULD OF BEEN. I WAS SURPRISED AFTER THE ACCIDENT THAT NONE OF MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE SENSORS ON THE CARS BUT EVERY ANGLE OF THE CAR HAD SOME TYPE OF IMPACT, SO, WHY ONLY TWO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND BACK WINDOW WHEN THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE CAR AND OF COURSE I WAS THE DRIVER IN THE DRIVER SEAT. MY CONCERN THAT SOMEONE IN THE FUTURE WILL NOT BE AS LUCKY AS ME AND GET SERIOUSLY HURT DUE TO A DEFECT WITH THE AIR BAGS AND SENSORS. IT MAKES ME THINK ABOUT HONDA AND THERE CARS AND I COULD NEVER GET BACK IN A HONDA AGAIN CAUSE NEXT TIME I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. I AM CONCERNED FOR HONDA DRIVERS AND WANTED TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE AIR BAGS THAT I BELIEVE TO HAVE A DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED FOR THE SAFETY AND WELL BEING OF OTHERS OUT THERE ON THE ROAD. I PURCHASED A HONDA CIVIC BECAUSE IT IS KNOW TO BE THE SAFEST CAR OUT THERE WITH ITS SAFETY FEATURES, BUT AFTER THE ACCIDENT I QUESTIONED THAT FACT. SO, I HOPE HONDA WILL CONSIDER TAKING A LOOK AT THIS AND CORRECT THE ISSUE FOR THE WELL BEING OF OTHER HONDA DRIVERS. *TR

I NOTICED A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE SO I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE REAR TIRES WERE SEVERELY CUPPED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ALSO RECOMMENDED A FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT. ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS STILL COVERED UNDER ITS 3 YEAR 36000 MILE WARRANTY, I HAD TO PAY $366 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THE REAR TIRES REPLACED AND THE ALIGNMENT DONE. WHEN I VIEWED THE ALIGNMENT REPORT ALL ADJUSTMENTS WERE WITHIN SPECIFIED RANGE PRIOR TO ANY ADJUSTMENT BEING MADE. I BELIEVE THERE IS EITHER A PROBLEM WITH THE GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A TIRES THAT WERE PUT ON THIS CAR AT THE FACTORY OR THERE IS SOME OTHER UNDERLYING REAR SUSPENSION ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. *TR
