2017 Honda Civic Wheels Problems

SAFETY CONCERN > while driving on a local roadway, the right front tire went flat but the OEM TPMS ( this Civic model uses a indirect system ) never alerted ( due to traffic & road conditions was unable to pull off road ) & had to drive to nearest tire dealer, where a associate confirmed no TPMS warnings were displayed. after repair work completed, contacted a local Honda dealer service dept.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 honda civic. While driving approximately 65 MPH, the tire pressure warning indicator illuminated. Occasionally, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) indicated a low tire pressure warning; however, the tire was correctly inflated.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A "POP," THERE WAS NO ALERT OR WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD, BUT THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WOULDN'T COOPERATE. SO I WENT OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND I FOUND OUT MY PASSENGER REAR RIGHT SIDE TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT COMPLETELY.

FRONT DRIVER WHEEL BEARING. MY CIVICS FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING HAD TO BE REPLACED AT ONLY 15,000 MILES. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE FACTORY WHEEL BEARING HAD NO GREESE OR LUBERCATION INSIDE OF IT CAUSING IT TO WEAR DOWN PREMATURELY. I HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES FOR HONDA TO ACTUALLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD MULTIPLE TIMES IT WAS 'ROAD NOISE'. THE WHEEL BEARING WOULD MAKE A LOUD 'BUFFERING' SOUND BETWEEN 30-70MPH. THE NOISE WOULD ALSO GET WORSE WHEN GOING AROUND CORNERS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY (GOING ON THE SAME LANE & SIMILAR SPEED AS ANY OTHER CAR) AND SUDDENLY MY BACK-RIGHT TIRE BURSTED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER, CALLED TRIPLE A AND FOUND OUT THAT THE ENTIRE RIM OF THE RIMS WAS CRACKED AND TEARED FROM THE INSIDE, BUT THE TIRE ITSELF REMAINED INTACT AND UNPUNCTURED. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER TO GET A REPLACEMENT AND DIAGNOSTIC BUT THE MAINTENANCE SERVICE CLAIMED THAT IT WAS DUE TO AN IMPACT GOING OVER A POSSIBLE POTHOLE VS MATERIAL DEFECT OF THE WHEEL, THUS VOIDING THE WARRANTY. SINCE ITS A NEW CAR, I BELIEVE IT SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO CRACK AND BE COMPLETELY TEARED SO EASILY DUE TO A POTHOLE (WHICH IS A VERY COMMON THING TO ENCOUNTER). I FEEL AT RISK DUE TO THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE I'M UNCERTAIN OF THE DURABILITY OF THE RIMS MODEL ITSELF. NOT ONLY WAS I DRIVING ON THE SAME LANE AS ANY OTHER CAR, BUT CARS THAT WERE IN FRONT OF ME & BEHIND ME DROVE BY JUST FINE. IF IT WAS SOLELY A POSSIBLE POTHOLE MISHAP, THEN A NEW CAR LIKE THIS SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE SUCH A MINOR IMPACT FROM TYPICAL DRIVING. UNFORTUNATELY, HONDA SERVICES SAID THEY COULDN'T REALLY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND COULD ONLY STAND BY THE DEALERSHIP'S DIAGNOSTICS. HOWEVER, I DON'T THINK I'LL FEEL SAFE WITH A CLAIM LIKE THIS UNRESOLVED. ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS A 2017 MODEL CAR, MY SAFETY FEELS MORE AT RISK NOW BECAUSE OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN TO ANY OF THE OTHER 3 WHEELS DUE TO A COMMON POTHOLE INCIDENT TO COMPLETELY TEAR-APART THE METALLIC RIMS FROM THE INSIDE WHAT THEY CONCLUDED: "IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, THEN REPORT IT AGAIN FOR THIS TO BE ESCALATED". BUT TO ME, IT MAKES NO SENSE TO WAIT FOR IT TO EVEN HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN ITS A DANGEROUS RISK TO MY LIFE. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE MORE RESPONSIBLE TO PREVENT IT THAN TO WAIT FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. JUST BECAUSE THEY REPLACE ONE RIM, DOESN'T MEAN IT COULD PREVENT IT IF IT IS AN OVERALL DEFECTED MODEL.

I purchased a 2017 honda civic 5/16. It needed a tire replacement 2 weeks later. A replacement tire was put on by a tire shop.

I just bought this car "new" from coggin honda in jacksonville florida at 11003 atlantic boulevard on 10/17/17, it's production date in the drivers-side door jamb is 02/17, it was originally dealer prepped at the honda dealership on 2/21/17, the date code on all four tires are 50/16, indicating the 50th week of 2016, or manufactured between the dates of 12/11/16 - 12/17/16.

Paint from factory is peeling off . My car only has 33,000 miles on it . I was washing my car and as a sprayed off my car with a light flow of water I saw pain chips flowing down the street.
