I'VE HAD/HAVING SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW. MY BACK TIRES HAVE WORN VERY UNEVENLY OVER THE YEARS AND BECAUSE OF THIS CAR EATING TIRES I'VE REPLACED TIRES ALMOST EVERY 2 YEARS. THERE IS ALSO A POPPING SOUND WHEN DRIVING WHEN YOU MAKE A TIGHT TURN. I'VE ALSO HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY A/C. I'VE HAD THE BLOWER FAN STOP WORKING AND SOME COMPONENT RELATING TO IT REPLACED 3 TIMES. MY A/C RECENTLY STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR AFTER IT SPIT OUT FROZEN FREON THROUGH MY VENTS. MECHANIC HAS TOLD ME MY FREON WAS EMPTY AND COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP. NOW I NEED TO THROW MONEY ($1400) AT THIS REPAIR AS WELL!...UPDATED 07/19/16 *BF
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 …

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.
WENT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER BECAUSE OF HEAVY VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY REAR CONTROL UPPER ARM BECAUSE MY TIRES WERE CUPPING BADLY. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED TIRES YEARLY BECAUSE OF UNEVEN WEAR. I CALLED CORPORATE HONDA, SINCE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE WITH PART…

I CALLED CORPORATE HONDA, SINCE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE WITH PARTS AND LABOR DESPITE 2013 SETTLEMENT REGARDING THIS MATTER.

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

UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. HONDA WON'T REPLACE THE BAD CONTROL ARMS BECAUSE I PUT ON SNOW TIRES AND THEY SAID THAT VOIDS ANY WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE, I'VE GONE THROUGH SEVERAL SETS OF TIRES NOW.

I PURCHASED THIS 2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE NEW IN MAY OF 2007. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AND SUBSEQUENT RECALL FOR THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS THAT CAUSED SEVERE UNEVEN TIRE WEAR AND VIBRATION.

I PURCHASED THIS 2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE NEW IN MAY OF 2007. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AND SUBSEQUENT RECALL FOR THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS THAT CAUSED SEVERE UNEVEN TIRE WEAR AND VIBRATION. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT THE FIX DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND HONDA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND MAKING IT RIGHT. THE REPLACEMENT ARMS DO NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LATITUDE IN THE ADJUSTMENT IN CAMBER. THERE ARE AFTER MARKET FIXES FOR THIS. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE TIRE WEAR AND SUBSEQUENT HANDLING WHILE DRIVING ARE A HAZARD ON THE ROAD. THIS MAY ALSO BE CAUSE FOR A NEW CLASS ACTION SUIT, AS THE ORIGINAL "FIX" WAS NOT A FIX. *TR
