2007 honda civic lx sedan has exhibited chassis vibration and wheel noise at highway speeds. passenger side rear tire is cupping. three visits to two honda dealership service facilities has not corrected this chronic problem. *jb

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. while approaching an exit ramp at 60 mph, the contact discovered that the ramp was full and tried to maneuver the vehicle to remain on the highway. he slammed on the brakes, but the vehicle did not decelerate or stop. he lost control of the vehicle and struck the guard rail. the contact sustained minor injuries. a police report was filed. the vehicle sustained major damages. honda was not notified because the cause of the failure was unknown. he received a recall letter (q56) regarding the wheels on october 1, 2007. the current and failure mileages were 7,000.

The control arms on 2006-2007 honda civics are defective which causes uneven tire wear in the rear tires. the inside edge of the tires go bald quickly and the rear end of the car begins to 'jump' around on the highway. there is a service bulletin issued by honda (08-001), but they will not fix the problem. the car feels very unstable on the highway. we have had to replace the tires and get an alignment every year. *tr

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

My 2007 honda civic hybrid has uneven and irregular wear on the tires due to an extension arm problem in the rear. honda issues a recall "fix" which did not fix the problem. the problem causes cupping which creates an extremely noisy, unstable ride. i have had to have my tires replaced four times. honda has said they are aware of the problem and understand my "concern" but they will no longer replace my tires. i think it is unacceptable that i would have pay for rear tires more than twice a year because of their engineering problem. i noticed the problem about a month after purchasing the vehicle and it has been a constant battle! the car becomes really unstable and in minnesota winters, it handles terrible in winter conditions. i have slid in the ditch when others were traveling much faster than myself based on the road conditions. this is a nuisance and safety issue. *tr
