Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda civic. while driving approximately 20 mph, the rear of the vehicle started shaking and emitting unknown noises. the vehicle was repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 07v399000 (service brakes, hydraulic); however, the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. the technician diagnosed that the wheel bearings needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
There was a lot of noise from the front end. i took to the dealer (mary sussman honda, abington, pa) and they told me i needed a front end brake job (pads, rotor polishing etc). two days ago (9/27/12) i had to take to have my rear bearing replaced and they told me i needed front brakes again. now mileage is 44,500, so only ~18,000 miles from last repair. i think two brake jobs at 40k miles is not right. *tr
2006 honda civic. consumer writes in regards to defective design of rear suspension *tgw the consumer stated due to the defect/poor design of the rear control arms, the rear tires were wearing unevenly and prematurely. last week, the dealer discovered that the left rear tire was worn down to the cord on the inside part of the tire. the dealer suggested a four-wheel alignment and two new rear tires, but failed to mention the issue with the control arms. the consumer learned of a service bulletin that was issued to dealers, by honda to replace the rear control arms. the consumer took a copy of the bulletin to the dealership and is now negotiating with them to replace the control arms. *jb

I own a 2009 honda civic lx-s. it now has 32,000 miles on it and the rear tires are completely bald. i did some online research and found this seems to be a common problem with honda civic's. honda has a tsb about the problem but they refuse to fix the problem. the tsb says there is a problem with the rear control arms and that is what causes the excessive wear on the tires. i contacted a couple of dealers about getting my car fixed under warranty and they give you the run around and don't want to do what the tsb says they need to do. if there are this many people with the same excessive tire wear then they should issue a recall and fix the problem before a tire blows and causes a wreck and someone gets hurt. i even noticed that there is a class action lawsuit to try and force honda do what is right and have a recall and fix the control arms. *kb
i began to hear a noise coming from the right rear of the car in april 2011. over time the noise progressively became worse. i recently noticed that the right rear tire has been wearing improperly. i checked online to see if anyone else had this issue. while researching the problem, every honda civic webpage and forum that i went to was filled with this particular problem (right rear control arm causing rapid wear of the tires). i found that honda had even sent out a service bulletin on 2-8-08 regarding this issue. i figured with this many complaints, there must have been a recall notice that i did not receive. in july 2011 i brought my civic to majestic honda of rhode island to have my vehicle checked and asked if there had been a recall. i was told that there was no recall but they did confirm the problem after performing a diagnostic which cost me $111.02. my civic needed a new control arm, 4 new tires, and an alignment. these repairs would cost an additional $1066.75 ...
2007 honda civic 4dr ex rear upper control arms causing premature tire wear. this is causing loud tire noise and unsafe driving conditions because of the excessive wear. *tt
Uneven tire wear. honda claims this is intended but the car goes through brand new tires on the rear every 7500 miles. the rear control arm puts negitive camber and toe on the tire causes the inside of the tire to wear bald very quickly even when drving on the interstate. this is a serious issue, if you dont check the tires daily for wear you wouldn't notice it. i didn't notice it till my tire popped. luckily i wasn't on a major road or this could have been a horrible incident. *tr
Rear driver side trailing arm snapped on 2006 honda civic ex. looks like the part had a manufacturing fault on one of the weld seams. *tr
12 tires in 3 years?? yes we have put 80,000 miles on the car, but this is extreme! the last flat occurred on the highway, at 70 miles per hour, (thank god, there wasn't a major accident!)and when we went to repair or replace it we were informed that another tire, was extremely bald with no tread except on the outside, which made it difficult for anyone to notice. (i had bought a tire 2 weeks previous!! i never saw a tire this bald and rippled with bare spots all around...these tires were bought last oct. and are 60,000 mile tires. we then went to the dealership because of this and a loud noise and were told the bearing from the transmission to the axle needs to be replaced.... $600....but will i still need more new tires soon??? the expense of maintaining this car (thousands of dollars for tires!!!, and has drained our savings,we still have 2 more years of payments and want a solution from honda and believe if there is a rear axle problem, causing loud noise and quickly worn tires, they should correct it and reimburse us!! you buy an expensive hybrid to save on gas ...
