2007 Honda Civic Wheels Problems

THERE IS UNEVEN WEAR ON MY TIRES WHICH HAS CAUSED LARGE VIBRATIONS WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND VERY DANGEROUS HANDLING IN SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. I JUST REPLACED MY TIRES, WHICH THE PREVIOUS OWNER (I BOUGHT IT FROM HIM IN OCTOBER 2014) STATED WERE ALMOST NEW AT PURCHASE TIME. THE INNER EDGE OF EACH TIRE WAS WORN DOWN. I ALSO BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR ALIGNMENT TODAY AND FOUND THAT THE REAR CAMBER IS NEGATIVE 2.5 DEGREES ON BOTH SIDES, BUT THAT CAMBER IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. THIS CAMBER ISSUE, PLUS REGULAR TIRE ROTATIONS, ALMOST CERTAINLY CAUSED THE INNER EDGE WEAR ON EACH TIRE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA CIVICS OF THE 06-08 ERA (SEE 2008 SERVICE BULLETIN, ATTACHED), BUT HONDA IS NO LONGER PERFORMING FIXES, AND THE FIX DID NOT NECESSARILY RECTIFY THE TIRE WEAR ISSUE. I HAVE BRAND NEW TIRES TODAY, BUT I EXPECT THAT THEY WILL ALSO WEAR OUT LONG BEFORE THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRES... IT SEEMS THAT MY LAST TIRES LASTED ONLY ABOUT 25K BEFORE THE CAR FELT UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO BUY NEW TIRES FOR THIS CAR, LIKE AT LEAST 2 TIRES A YEAR. THEY WEAR DOWN UNEVENLY AND IN ORDER TO PASS INSPECTION I'M CONSTANTLY HAVING TO ROTATE AND BUY NEW ONES. I'M NOT MADE OF MONEY AND TIRES ARE EXPENSIVE. I'M A STAY AT HOME MOM, SO I'M NOT EVEN OUT DRIVING DAILY OR GOING ON LONG ROAD TRIPS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD CAREFULLY BECAUSE I TAKE THIS ROAD ALMOST EVERYDAY. THIS ROAD HAS BEEN DAMAGED FOR A LONG TIME NOW AND HASN'T BEEN FIXED YET. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR HITS A HUGE POT HOLE, IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN SEEN DUE TO HOW DARK THIS ROAD IS AT NIGHT. BOTH WHEELS ON THE LEFT SIDE POPPED AND MY FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACK IN THE MIDDLE DUE TO THE HARD IMPACT. *TR

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

I BOUGHT THIS CAR 08/31/13 AND BEGAN HEARING A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR WHEELS AND NOW I'M SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE WHEEL BEARINGS. I THINK MY CAR WASN'T PROPERLY FIXED. PLEASE HELP. *TR

WHEEL BEARING TYPE NOISE COMING FROM REAR WHEELS. AFTER PULLING TO SIDE OF ROAD AND CHECKING THINGS OUT, I NOTICED EXTREME TIRE WEAR ON INSIDE PORTION OF ROAD TREAD ON BOTH REAR WHEELS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE HAVING THE TIRES REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL HUB NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE FAILURE CAUSED EXCESSIVE TREAD WEAR ON THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

FRONT LEFT WHEEL BEARING AND LEFT REAR WHEEL BEARING NEED TO BE REPLACED AFTER 80,000 MILES ON THESE 2007 HONDA CIVICS. *TR

MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID HAS UNEVEN AND IRREGULAR WEAR ON THE TIRES DUE TO AN EXTENSION ARM PROBLEM IN THE REAR. HONDA ISSUES A RECALL "FIX" WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM CAUSES CUPPING WHICH CREATES AN EXTREMELY NOISY, UNSTABLE RIDE. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY TIRES REPLACED FOUR TIMES. HONDA HAS SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND UNDERSTAND MY "CONCERN" BUT THEY WILL NO LONGER REPLACE MY TIRES. I THINK IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT I WOULD HAVE PAY FOR REAR TIRES MORE THAN TWICE A YEAR BECAUSE OF THEIR ENGINEERING PROBLEM. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM ABOUT A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND IT HAS BEEN A CONSTANT BATTLE! THE CAR BECOMES REALLY UNSTABLE AND IN MINNESOTA WINTERS, IT HANDLES TERRIBLE IN WINTER CONDITIONS. I HAVE SLID IN THE DITCH WHEN OTHERS WERE TRAVELING MUCH FASTER THAN MYSELF BASED ON THE ROAD CONDITIONS. THIS IS A NUISANCE AND SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

HAD A FLAT TIRE TWO TIMES WHEN OUR CAR TOUCHED THE CURB. THE CAR WAS TRAVELING BELOW 10 MPH WHEN THE TIRE TOUCHED THE CURB. BOTH THE TIMES THE EDGE OF ALLOY WHEELS OF MY HONDA CIVIC CUT THROUGH THE TIRE EXACTLY AT THE POINT OF THE PRESSURE. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. WE ALSO HAVE A HONDA ACCORD AND THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BUT NEVER HAD A FLAT TIRE. THE WHEELS ARE STOCK WHEELS AND EDGES OF THE WHEELS ARE NOT CURVED OUT AS MOST OF THE VEHICLES HAVE THEM. SINCE THE EDGES ARE NOT CURVED OUT THE WEIGHT OF THE CAR ALONG WITH THE UNCURVED EDGES CAUSES THE TIRE TO BE CUT. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC LX SEDAN HAS EXHIBITED CHASSIS VIBRATION AND WHEEL NOISE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE IS CUPPING. THREE VISITS TO TWO HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE FACILITIES HAS NOT CORRECTED THIS CHRONIC PROBLEM. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE APPROACHING AN EXIT RAMP AT 60 MPH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE RAMP WAS FULL AND TRIED TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO REMAIN ON THE HIGHWAY. HE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT DECELERATE OR STOP. HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND STRUCK THE GUARD RAIL. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED MAJOR DAMAGES. HONDA WAS NOT NOTIFIED BECAUSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN. HE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER (Q56) REGARDING THE WHEELS ON OCTOBER 1, 2007. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 7,000.
