UNEVEN TIRE WEAR ON 2007 CIVIC. FIRST SET OF TIRES ONLY LASTED 26,000 MILES. BROUGHT IN TO HONDA FOR UNEVEN TIRE WEAR AND THEY BLAMED GOODYEAR FOR THE WEAR EVEN THOUGH THE CHANGED THE REAR CONTROL ARMS TO CORRECT THE IMPROPER CAMBER FROM THE FACTORY. SEE SERVICE BULLETINS FOR FREE REPLACEMENT OF REAR SUSPENSION. HONDA WOULD NOT REPLACE TIRES. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. HONDA OFFERED TO PAY HALF OF THE TIRE REPLACEMENT. I DECLINED THEIR OFFER. WE WERE ABOUT TO GO TO ARBITRATION WHEN HONDA CALLED AND TOLD ME TO BRING THE 2007 CIVIC IN AND THEY WILL REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES AT NOT COST. IT TOOK ABOUT 4 MONTHS TO SETTLE, BUT EVENTUALLY ALL TIRES WERE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. IF ALL ELSE FAILS, FILE WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. THEY WILL HOLD THE DEALER RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT CORRECTING THE ISSUE EARLIER TO SAVE THE TIRES. *TR
