2007 Honda Civic tires problems

“HAD A FLAT TIRE THAT WOULD NOT HOLD AIR, SO ATTEMPTED TO PUT ON THE SPARE TIRE THAT WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH THE VEHICLE (BY ME) AT NALLEY HONDA OF UNION CITY, GA. IT WAS THE WRONG SIZE SPARE TIRE. THE LUG PATTERN WOULD NOT FIT. IT WAS A 16" SPARE INSTEAD OF THE 15" THAT MY CAR CALLS FOR. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT SWAP IT OUT FOR THE RIGHT SIZE SPARE TIRE, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE FIRST TIME OUT OF MY TRUNK (2007 CAR, AND 2007 DATE CODED SPARE). LUCKILY, THE FLAT HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY INSTEAD OF MY DAUGHTER BEING STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR”

“I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS NOW. IN THAT TIME I HAVE PUT ONLY 20000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY TIRES TWICE ALREADY ON THE VEHICLE DUE TO UNEVEN WEAR ON THE TIRES. THE CAMBER OF THE TIRES IS AFFECTED BY THE REAR CONTROL ARMS. THIS ALSO CAUSED THE REAR SUSPENSION TO WEAR, WHICH I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN BREAKING MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AFFECTING MY STEERING. THIS IS CAUSED BY THE UNEVEN INNER TIRE WEAR ON THIS VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY ON THIS VEHICLE AND I BELIEVE OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES MIGHT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS ALSO BECOME A QUITE EXPENSIVE PROBLEM FOR ME TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH ON THIS VEHICLE. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, THANK YOU! *TR”

“2007 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO MOTOR MOUNTS UPPERS AND LOWERS CRACKED AND REPLACED TWICE IN TWO WEEKS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING, SHE HEARD A RUMBLING NOISE AND THE STEERING WHEEL AND DASH STARTED SHAKING. AT THE TIME, SHE DIDN'T KNOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT, UNTIL SHE ARRIVED AT THE REPAIR SHOP.”

“THE TIRES ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC KEPT SHOW BAD WEAR AND HAD TO ROTATE EVERY 10,000-15,000 UNTIL COULDN'T DO IT ANYMORE, BOUGHT SEVERAL SETS OF TIRES:: SOLVED THE PROBLEM BUY PAYING ALMOST $900 TO FIX THE ARMS ON THE REAR END. SAID THING IS HONDA KNEW AND KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT WONT DO A RECALL... GOOD NEWS IS AFTER ALL MY SETS OF TIRES AND $900 DOLLARS MY CAR IS NOW GETTING GOOD WEAR OUT OF THE TIRES. *TR”

“I REPLACED THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC AT 49,749 MILES. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A LITTLE PREMATURE, BUT THE TREAD WAS GETTING THIN SO I WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE ON 12-28-2010 AND HAD 4 NEW TIRES PLACED ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER LESS THAN 19,000 MILES ON THE NEW TIRES, THE PASSENGER-SIDE REAR TIRE WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE. THE TECHNICIAN AT DISCOUNT TIRE INSPECTED IT AND STATED THAT THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE TIRE IS CUPPING (OR LOOKS CHOPPY) AND THIS IS TYPICALLY DUE TO BAD SUSPENSION, WHEEL BEARINGS OR ALIGNMENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TOM'S AUTO REPAIR AND HAD IT INSPECTED FOR THE WHEEL BEARINGS AND SHOCKS AND HAD A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT DONE FOR $55.00. THEY STATED THE WHEEL BEARS AND SHOCKS LOOKED FINE AND THAT THE ALIGNMENT WASN'T THAT BAD. I THEN TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DISCOUNT TIRE AND THEY AGREED TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER-SIDE REAR TIRE FOR THE REPLACEMENT COST OF $13.25. THE TECHNICIAN COMMENTED THAT THE DRIVER-SIDE REAR TIRE WAS ALSO STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF THE SAME WEAR PATTERN, I.E. CUPPING ON THE INNER EDGE. THE TIRE WHICH THEY REPLACED IS NOT AVAILABLE AS IT WAS DISPOSED OF BY DISCOUNT TIRE. I RESEARCHED ON-LINE AND FOUND HONDA HAD ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE…”

“APPROXIMATELY A WEEK AFTER BUYING LIFETIME ALIGNMENT AND 4 NEW BRIDGESTONE POTENZA TIRES IN JULY 2011 AT FIRESTONE, EL PASO, TX, MY CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE IN THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS 50MPH THROUGH 60MPH. AFTER MANY RESEARCH AND DIAGNOSIS FROM HONDA PARTS AND SERVICE SHOP, DIFFERENT FIRESTONE LOCATIONS AND LOCAL MECHANICS, THE CONCLUSION IS THAT THE UPPER/REAR CONTROL ARMS, FRONT AND REAR CAMBER ARM AND BOLTS ARE DEFECTIVE AS PER HONDA MANUFACTURERS. MY TIRES ARE EXCESSIVELY AND UNEVENLY WEARING. I HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT 6 SETS OF NEW TIRES IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS BECAUSE OF THIS HONDA ISSUE, WHICH THEY ADMIT IT IS A DEFECT MADE BY THE MANUFACTURERS. THEY RELEASED A SERVICE BULLETIN (SERVICE BULLETIN 08-001 DATED APRIL 11, 2008) THAT INFORMS HONDA DEALER SHOP OF THIS ISSUE/DEFECT, BUT THEY REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF REPAIRING IT FREE OF CHARGE. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS NOT FAIR THAT CUSTOMERS BUYING HONDAS HAVE TO PAY FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS MADE BY THE MANUFACTURERS. I WOULD LIKE THESE DEFECT TO BE SOLVED AND PAID BY THEM AND I WOULD LIKE REFUND FOR AT LEAST THE LAST SET OF TIRES THAT I RECENTLY BOUGHT AND ARE ALREADY UNEVENLY WORN OUT (THIS MAKES IT A USELESS…”
