2008 Honda Civic

MY DAUGHTER LISA ADKINS AND I OWN A 2008 HONDA CIVIC LX. I SENT THIS TO THE DEALER THAT WORKED ON IT AND BASED ON MY OWN INVESTIGATION THERE SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS PRODUCTION DEFECT WITH SOME OF THOSE VEHICLES. MY DAUGHTER LISA ADKINS TOOK HER/MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC LX TO YOUR SERVICE DEPT ON MEMORIAL DAY. TO SAY I'M MAD IS JUST NOT A GOOD ENOUGH DESCRIPTION OF HOW I FEEL. THE CAR HAD A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE, HIGH VIBRATION AND BACK TIRES BASICALLY WIPED OUT. NOW YOU GUYS DID PROVIDE SERVICE HOWEVER LITTLE THAT WAS AND FALSE ADVICE WHICH IS WORSE THAN NONE. 1) THE SERVICE DEPT LIED TO MY DAUGHTER ABOUT THE PROBLEM WHICH SEEMS TO BE INHERENT IN AN UNKNOWN PERCENTAGE OF 2008 HONDA CIVICS. I DON'T KNOW WHY. MAYBE THEY CAME OFF THE SAME ASSEMBLY LINE WITH A BAD FRAME ALIGNMENT OR WHAT EVER. I DO NOT KNOW BUT I AM GOING TO FIND OUT. 2) THE SERVICE GUY SAID THE TIRES WEREN'T COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THAT REALLY BLEEPED OUT OFF. THERE IS A PRODUCTION PROBLEM WITH THAT CAR AND YOU GUYS KNOW IT, AND TRIED TO HIDE IT FROM MY DAUGHTER WITH '!@#$% AND TRIED TO SAY IT WASN'T COVERED BY WARRANTY SO SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. 3) YOU KIND OF MADE MY DAUGHTER FEEL LIKE THIS WAS HER FAULT. WELL KISS MY ?!@#$% WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT. I TOLD HER TO RETURN IT TO YOU GUYS AND ME/YOU/HONDA AND THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD WILL SORT OUT THE BODIES. 4) IN THE 1980S I FOUND A SIMILAR TYPE THING WITH A TIRE CALLED BRIGESTONE AND NEVER LET IT GO UNTIL, WELL YOU KNOW FELLA. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED YOU AND YOUR DEALERSHIP HAVE NO REGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF MY DAUGHTER, MY GRANDSON OR ANYONE ELSE THAT RIDES IN THAT CAR SO JUST WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS YOU UNDER A ROCK ?!@#$%. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 HONDA CIVIC 4 DOOR. HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS THE 2006 AND 2008 CIVICS. LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON TIRES AND CAR. REAR TIRES ARE DEMOLISHED! TIRES HAVE EXCESSIVE WEAR AND ROAD NOISE. DEALER SAYS THAT I SHOULD ROTATE THE TIRES MORE OFTEN. THIS IS NOT WEAR FROM FAILURE TO ROTATE THIS IS DUE TO THE SUSPENSION. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE THAT THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT HAPPENED OVER A YEAR AGO AND THE HAVE FAILED TO FIX THEM. *TR

INCREASING ROAD NOISE AND VIBRATION AS TIRES WERE WORN IRREGULARLY OVER THE FIRST 14 MONTHS OF OPERATION. VEHICLE BECAME INCREASING UNSTABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, PARTICULARLY IN WET OR SNOWY ROAD CONDITIONS OR WHEN WINDY. VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT WAS DARTING FROM SIDE TO SIDE, REQUIRING CONTINUOUS MINOR STEERING CORRECTIONS, AND UNTIL ULTIMATELY A REDUCTION IN SPEED IS REQUIRED TO REGAIN STABLE CONTROL OF THE CAR. HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES REAR SUSPENSION IS THE CAUSE, BUT DOES NOT NOTIFY OWNERS. *TR

MY 2008 HONDA CIVICS LX, HAD MY FIRST TIRE ROTATION COMPLETED BY MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT ALL 4 TIRES WERE CUPPED. I HAVE NOT OWNED THE CAR A YEAR. I PURCHASED THIS CAR 05-31-08. I HAVE LESS THAN 11,000 MILES ON THIS CAR. THE CAR NOW VIBRATES AND ROARS WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. THE 2006-7 CIVICS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR SUSPENSION WHICH CAUSED THE CUPPING DAMAGE TO THE TIRES. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE DEALER SAID IT WAS DUE TO LACK OF ROTATION. THEY HAVE SERVICED THE CAR SINCE OWNED AND NEVER SAID THERE WAS ANY PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES. TWO WEEKS AFTER MY LAST SERVICE ALL TIRES ARE DAMAGED AND THE CAR SHAKES WHEN DRIVING. IT IS VERY LOUD AND FEELS UNSTABLE ON THE GROUND. THE DEALER HAS YET TO TAKE ACTION TO RESOLVE THIS CASE. *TR

MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC LX COUPE HAS UNDER 8000 MILES AND IS EXPERIENCING A NOTICEABLE DRIFT TO THE RIGHT. I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS CORRECTED. THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS BUT HAS NOW SURFACED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND THE STEERING WHEEL MUST BE HELD TO THE LEFT TO COMPENSATE FOR THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OR EVENT THAT WOULD HAVE DAMAGED ANY COMPONENTS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

2008 HONDA CIVIC, REAR END MAKING HORRIBLE SOUND. REALIZE AFTER LOOKING ONLINE THAT HONDA HAS ISSUES WITH REAR ARM CONTROLS. TOOK CAR TO DEALER, THEY STATED THAT MY CAR HAS THE "C" STAMP UPDATED REAR ARM CONTROLS. REAR TIRES SEVERELY CUPPED. THEY RECOMMEND 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND PURCHASE OF TWO NEW TIRES. EVEN THOUGH THIS APPEARS TO BE SAME PROBLEM THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THEY WILL NOT REPLACE ARM CONTROLS AND HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIR REPLACEMENT. *TR
