2006 Honda Civic

HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY TIRES AND SUSPENSION SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A LOUD NOISE FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND VEHICLE VIBRATES WHEN THE SPEED IS INCREASED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO MANKATO HONDA AND THEY INSISTED THAT IT WAS THE TIRE COMPANY'S RESPONSIBILITIES SO THE TIRE COMPANY REPLACED THE TIRES AND ALIGNMENT WAS DONE. 10,000 MILES LATER I RETURNED WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT, MANKATO HONDA WOULD NOT HELP ME SO I WENT TO BURSVILLE HONDA. THEY DID HELP ME, THEY CHECKED MY TIRES, REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES AND ALIGNMENT WAS DONE. BURSVILLE HONDA DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG ONLY UNEVEN WORN OUT TIRES. ABOUT EVERY 10,000 TO 15,000 MILES I HAVE TO HAVE ALL FOUR TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED. BURNSVILLE HONDA HELPED ME 2 MORE TIMES THEN THE BUSINESS WAS SOLD TO WALSER HONDA. I RETURNED TO MANKATO HONDA AND THEY SHOWED ME A SERVICE BULLETIN WHERE IT STATED THAT IT WAS FOUND THAT 06-07 HONDA CIVIC'S HAD UNEVEN OR RAPID TIRE WEAR, THAT WOULD NEED TO REPAIR REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM KIT AND FLANGE BOLTS. I RETURNED TO WALSER HONDA TO HAVE THEM DO THE REPLACEMENT, NOW 10,000 MILES LATER I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I AM FRUSTRATED AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT! *TR

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX SEDAN THAT HAS 32,000 MILES ON IT AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR THE SECOND RECALL, I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED 4 NEW TIRES BECAUSE THEY WERE WORN DOWN. I ALSO NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 65-70MPH. I HAVE ROTATED MY TIRES AT EVERY OIL CHANGE (3000 MILES) SO I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW MY TIRES COULD NEED REPLACING AT ONLY 32000 MILES! I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND NOTICED THAT MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE FAULTY DESIGN OF THE REAR CHAMBER CONTROL ARM THAT CAUSES THE TIRES TO CUP AND HAVE RAPID WEAR AS WELL AS NOISE AND VIBRATION GOING TO BE RECALLED AT ANY POINT? I DO NOT WANT TO REPLACE MY TIRES AT $125/TIRE AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE! I BOUGHT A HONDA FOR SAFETY NOT TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH RECALLS AND FAULTY DESIGNS! I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE HONDA THAT I PURCHASED!!!! *TR

I HAVE A HONDA 06 CIVIC COUPE THAT CONTINUES TO HAVE THIS RECURRING ISSUE. THE REAR TIRES "CUP", CAUSING UNUSUAL TIRE WEAR AND LOUD THUMPING SOUNDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MY VEHICLE AT 21,000 AND THEN AGAIN AT 52,000 MILES. UNUSUAL TIRE WEAR CAN LEAD TO TIRE BLOWOUTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE UPPER CONTROL ARM AND REPLACED THE TIRES, HOWEVER, EVEN AFTER A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT AT 41,000, THE "CUPPING" IS STILL HAPPENING. ACCORDING TO SEARCHES ON THE WEB, MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR 06 AND 07 HONDA CIVIC'S. *TR

I HAVE A RUMBLE IN THE SUSPENSION OF MY CAR WITH NEW TIRES. THE TIRES I HAVE ONLY HAVE ABOUT 15,000 MILES ON THEM AND HONDA IS SAYING THAT IT'S BECAUSE I PUT CHEAP TIRES ON MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN TO BARRY'S HONDA SO MANY TIMES TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. EVEN WHEN I HAD THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON THE CAR AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO FIX IT OR THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I BROUGHT IT TO THEM AT LEAST THREE OR FOUR TIMES. ONE TIME THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A BROKEN BELT IN MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE SO THAT'S WHEN I REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES. THE ORIGINAL TIRES ONLY HAD 40,000 MILES ON THEM WHEN I REPLACED THEM. WHEN I HAD THE TIRES REPLACED THE STORE THAT PUT THE TIRES ON SAID THAT THERE WASN'T A BROKEN BELT. I STILL HAD THE RUMBLE WITH BRAND NEW TIRES. *TR

TIRE FAILURE AROUND 27,000 MILES FROM EXCESSIVE WEAR ON REAR TIRES DESPITE REGULAR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES. POSSIBLY DUE TO REAR CONTROL ARM MALFUNCTION WHICH MANUFACTURER WILL NOT INSPECT. ALSO, MANUFACTURER HAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BOTH SUN VISORS DUE TO SPLITTING OF PLASTIC (MOST LIKELY DUE TO BAD ENGINEERING WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF INTERIOR HEAT). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED TIRE FAILURE ON WET ROADS. HE NOTICED THAT THE REAR TIRE WAS COMPLETELY BALD. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PURCHASING NEW TIRES. THE DEALER MADE OTHER REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE'S CONTROL ARM DUE TO EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. THE REPAIRS TOTALED $250. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE IS 33,984. UPDATED 09/10/08. *LJ

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW AXLE, NEW BRAKES, AND FOUR NEW TIRES. SHE HAS ALL OF THE PAPERWORK FOR THE REPAIRS THAT WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE THUS FAR. ON JUNE 21, 2008, WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND BEGAN DECELERATING. SHE PULLED OVER UNTIL AAA ARRIVED. THE CONTACT WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SHE BELIEVES THAT THE SAFETY RECALL IS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE, BUT HONDA DISAGREES. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V399000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR) WAS REFERENCED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

WITH APPROXIMATELY 8,000 MILES ON THE HONDA 2006 CIVIC, THE TIRE NOISE AND VIBRATION STARTED BECOMING NOTICEABLE. BY THE TIME THERE WAS 22,000 MILES IT WAS VERY IRRITATING. MADE DECISION TO REPLACE THE OEM TIRES, BUT FIRST I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN ALIGNMENT SHOP WHO REFUSED TO DO ANY ALIGNMENT WORK BECAUSE THEY CLAIMED THE ALIGNMENT WAS WITHIN SPECIFICATION. CHANGE FROM THE OEM TIRES (BRIDGESTONE TURANZA ) TO MICHELINS. NOW WITH LESS THAN 25,000 MILES ON THE MICHELINS ONCE AGAIN THE NOISE AND VIBRATION IS HORRIBLE DUE TO CUPPING ON THE REAR TIRES. THE RACKET IS SO BAD I CAN'T BELIEVE ITS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I RECENTLY BOUGHT NEW TIRES AND THE STEEL TRIED IS SHOWING THROUGH. HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND, IF I BOUGHT NEW TIRES, THAT THEY WOULD GIVE ME A FREE ALIGNMENT. NOT COOL SEEING AS HONDA SHOULD GIVE ME NEW TIRES AND FIX THE PROBLEM. MY CAR NOW MAKES LOUD NOISES DUE TO THE TIRES AND, WITH ALL THE OTHER FIXES I AM HAVING TO GET, I AM RETHINKING HONDA'S COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. I AM THINKING OF TRADING IT IN FOR A PRIUS. *TR
