The suspected failed component is on 3-4 General Altimax GT45 tires. After approximately 15,000 miles of use and regular tire rotations every 5,000 miles, a steering wheel vibration developed immediately following a tire rotation. Multiple tire balances and a road-force balance did not identify a problem or correct the condition. Multiple, independent mechanics advised that the vibration may be caused by an internal tire belt defect, such as a shifted belt or belt separation. After the tires were rotated again, the vibration changed in character and became worse, further suggesting that the condition is related to a tire rather than the vehicle's suspension or alignment. The tires are still available for inspection upon request. The vehicle develops a noticeable steering wheel vibration at highway speeds between approximately 60 and 70 mph. The vibration affects steering feel and driver confidence while operating the vehicle at normal highway speeds. If caused by an internal tire defect, there is concern that the condition could worsen and potentially affect vehicle control or lead to tire failure. Yes, the problem has been reproduced. The vibration has been repeatedly reproduced during normal driving and has been evaluated by multiple independent service centers. The tires were rebalanced multiple times, including road-force balancing, without resolving the vibration. Multiple mechanics advised that the condition appears consistent with a possible internal tire belt defect. After an additional tire rotation, the vibration changed and became more severe, which mechanics indicated is consistent with a tire-related problem moving to a different position on the vehicle. The tires have been inspected by 4 independent service centers and tire technicians. The manufacturer, Continental/General Tire, has not physically inspected the tires. No inspection was performed by police or insurance representatives. No warning lamps or vehicle messages were displayed.

I HAVE VIBRATION ON STEERING WHEEL BEYOND SPEED OF 60MPH. THE THREAD DEPTH ON THE FRONT TIRES IS 9.5/10 ON BOTH THE SIDES. THE THREAD DEPTH ON REAR TIRES IS 5 ON BOTH THE SIDES. AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE FLAT SPOTS ON THE TIRE. IT WAS WORKED UPON FOR WHEEL BALANCING. HOWEVER THE VIBRATION EXISTS. IS SUCH A VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE WITH A CHILD? HOW SAFE IS THE VEHICLE SITUATION? DOES HONDA AMERICAN KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM? I DID SOME SEARCH AND READING ON THE INTERNET FOR THE DEFINED PROBLEM, MODEL YEAR AND COMPONENTS. IT IS NOTED THAT THERE ARE OTHERS AS WELL WITH SAME ISSUE WHICH HAS RESULTED INTO UNCOMFORTABLE AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING DRIVING CONDITIONS. I DON'T THINK DEALERSHIP SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE BLEW UP. IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE NEVER FELT BEFORE. I FELT SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR UNTIL NOW. I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR INSPECTION AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE NO HELP. WHEN I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE TIRE, IT SEEM THAT THEY ALREADY KNEW HOW IT HAPPENED. IMMEDIATELY THE MANAGER CAME TO CHECK UNDER THE TIRE AND WITHIN 30 SECONDS OF INSPECTION SAID THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLACE THE TIRE BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED BY A PUNCTURE. THE MANAGER SAID THERE IS A BREAK CABLE RIGHT ABOVE THE TIRE AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSED THE TIRE TO RUPTURE. THEN OFFERED TO CHECK THE VEHICLE JUST IN CASE BUT KNEW HE KNEW THEY WERE NOT COVERING THE TIRE. HE OFFERED ME TO ONLY PAY FOR THE TIRE BUT WILL NOT CHARGE FOR INSTALLATION. NEED HELP!!! *TR
