Problems with 2007 Honda Civic SUSPENSION

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

2007 honda civic. consumer states problem with vehicle tires *tgw the consumer stated the rear tires had to be replaced three times. the consumer stated it was a known defect as honda issued a tsb to the dealership describing the problem, but no notification was ever sent to the consumer. *jb

Faulty suspension causes tires to wear quickly and unevenly. tires develop cups that cause excessive vibration at all speeds.

Had to replace tires due to uneven tire wear on the inside tread after 22,000 miles.. had the rear upper control arms replaces as well. purchased pirelli tires rated for 85,000 miles. problem is back again at 27,000 miles on the tires and 65,000 miles on car. seems like this car goes through tires every 20-25,000 miles. honda needs to address this problem. *kb

1.- 2007 honda civic rear tire control arms are defective, causing problems with tires. alignment geometry of back tires is not proper, tires are not vertical. 2.- tires wear off unevenly making them unsafe. 3.- i replaced tires a few months ago and had tires aligned. new tires are render useless/unsafe in a few months. *tr

Defective rear upper control arms on the 2006 - 2007 honda civics. honda chose to withhold this information from consumers and only to issue a service bulletin to dealerships. this issues causes your car to go out of alignment and your tires to have an irregular wear pattern. this is an issue that creates an excessive amount of noise from your tires and may impede your ability to stop and to turn. this can be dangerous and expensive, at it can also cause premature wear to your suspension system. honda's decision to deliberately withhold this information from consumers puts consumers at risk when it is left to the dealership to be the ones to determine which cars are involved/affected. this is not just an isolated incident where only a few cars have been affected and numerous consumers have had their tires ruined due to this defect. http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2225229 my tires are 60,000 mile all season tires that have been completely destroyed at 24,000 miles. they are extremely loud and although the tread depth is exactly the same on all four tires. because i rotate the tires every 4,000 miles, no one at honda ever determined that my car was one of the ones that had the defect. i believe that honda did not want to have to issue a recall because they did not want to put out the expense to do so and felt they would deal with consumers on a case by case basis. i have had the problem corrected and have had the service manager drive my car, subsequent to the repair. he does not dispute the fact that the tires are loud and that the damage to the tires was done specifically due to the defect. however, honda is still refusing to replace my tires. i do not feel comfortable driving my family on tires that have been ruined soley because of this defect and feel that honda needs to not only issue a safety recall for the defect but also needs to be responsible for replacing the tires that have been damaged due to the defect! *kb

I replaced the original 2007 tires at 41,887 miles in 2009 with premature wear. eighteen months later, i had terrible road noise. i thought it was the bearings. it turns out that despite an alignment and proper rotation, my tires were all cupped in less than 26,000 miles. the mechanic mentioned the problem honda had with the rear upper control arms in this vehicle. i just spent another $218 to get updated rear upper controls arms on top of $800 for new tires and another alignment. honda is responsible for the poor quality control and not alerting me that this was a problem. the tires i just replaced were good for 85,000 miles. *kb

Rear suspension, severe vibration at highway speeds (65-70mph) causing uneven wear on rear tires. *tr

Tire out of control in rain almost wrecked rear tire wear bad control arms 2007 honda civic hybrid. *tr

Certain 2006 and 2007 honda civics were produced with improperly spec'ed rear upper control arms resulting in significant damaged to the rear tires (cupping). honda issued two tsb's but only acts on the problem once the tire damage is pronounced. cupped tires effect braking, handling, and in extreme cases, tire failure. i own an 06 and 07, all dealer maintained, and of the four dealers i and my daughter have dealt with, only one brought the problem to my attention once my tires were cupped and i complained of a vibration in my suspension. the rear upper control arms were replaced but i will have to replace the tires at my expense. individuals who do not properly service their civics are at risk of poor handling, tire failure and accidents due to cupped and failed tires. the internet is replete with complaints on this problem. this is a serious problem that has been kept under the radar by honda even with the potential risks to the public. a recall should be made! *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact stated the rear tires were abnormally pointed inward and causing the tires to wear down unevenly and prematurely. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told they would have to replace the tire arm for both rear wheels. the contact feels the failure was a manufacturers defect because of how the vehicle was designed. the failure and current mileage was 77,000.

In 2008 i noted that the tires of our 2007 honda civic were wearing unevenly. i discovered this when i rotated the rear tires to the front after about 25,000 miles and it just roared. we took it to the honda dealer and were told that there was a problem with the upper rear control arms and they would replace them and prorate the rear tires. at that time i elected to replace all four tires and assumed that honda had fixed the defect. after 25,000 miles, the roar is back and i again have cupped tires on the rear. this is a safety issue, as eventually this suspension defect could lead to either tire failure and/or loss of control while driving. honda is aware of this problem (service bulletin 08-001) but told us when we returned to the dealer that it was an alignment issue. while poor alignment can lead to cupped tires, i have been searching bulletin boards on the internet and see that this is a common problem and that others are still experiencing tire wear that results in cupped tires after the 15,000 to 25,000 miles on tires that are supposed to last 60,000 to 75,000 miles. my daughter drives this car to and from college and has not had a major failure yet. however, it is obvious to me that had i not recently ridden in the car and heard the problem that she would have continued to drive it, unaware that she may be heading for a catastrophic tire failure due to this design failure. specifically, it appears that 2007 honda civic rear ends will "drag" the rear tires down the road if the there are rear passengers or cargo. in other words, the suspension is incorrectly designed and rear tires do not track correctly when the car has load in the rear or trunk. i believe that this should be investigated before there is a rash of tire failures due to this design flaw. *tr

Purchased the car new at local dealer. the rear tires exhibit excessive wear prematurely. the original set of tires was replaced at approximately 35,000 miles. the second set (75,000 mile tires) wore out after 30,000 miles (65,000 miles on the odometer). our third set of tires (also, 75,000 mile tires) are now worn out with the odometer reading of 97,000 miles. just discovered that a tsb has been issued for replacement of rear control arms. have not pursued that route yet. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact stated that while the dealer inspected the vehicle, the dealer determined that both the front and rear axles were defective. the manufacturer was not notified. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 50,000 and the current mileage was 67,000.

Driving into the parking log going around 7 mph the support arm for the rear right wheel shock/suspension snapped in the middle and my wheel was basically dragging for around 20 feet so i could park and wait for the tow truck. this car is used as a commute car since i live in the country i drive around 70 miles a day combined mostly at 70 mph on cruise control on decent highways. i don't jump off ramps or drive crazy this is clearly poor manufacturing, workmanship, or design. i'm glad it happened when i was parking and not on the highway.

A friend mentioned his 07 civic was shaking. he did not know what to do about it, so i looked it up. this needs to be a honda " recall" because people are having to pay big money for tires, alignments etc. for honda's ~~ known ~~ problem. 2007 honda civic rear suspension complaints (control arm failures) many (76) complaints of this here: http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2007/honda/civic/rear+suspension "the result is because of rear control arms on this vehicle being manufactured too small causing a negative camber of the rear wheels and causing premature and uneven tire wear of the inner half of the tires. this has been an issue for over 2 years now increasing over time and was never recalled by honda but simply issued to dealerships under service bulletin 08-001 which was never carried out during regular service of the vehicle at the dealership." *tr

2007 honda civic si rear end noise and tire wear took back to dealer they stated they know about the problem and they will not fix it what i been hearing there is a big problem nation wide honda needs a recall before someone dies from a tire blowing out. *tr

Our 2007 honda civic ex 4dr began to experience mild shaking during driving with an increased shake the faster we drove. this resulted in almost total loss of control of the vehicle during slight slippery conditions on the highway during the winter because of a fishtailing effect that was being induced. the result is because of rear control arms on this vehicle being manufactured too small causing a negative camber of the rear wheels and causing premature and uneven tire wear of the inner half of the tires. this has been an issue for over 2 years now increasing over time and was never recalled by honda but simply issued to dealerships under service bulletin 08-001 which was never carried out during regular service of the vehicle at the dealership. only now when i complained of a shake and further research by myself have they decided to do anything about it. i have winter and summer tires now that have uneven wear on them and have experienced headache-inducing shakes at highway speeds. at the present moment honda is repairing these rear control arms but i have to flip the bill for labor, an alignment, and 2 new sets of tires which are said to be covered under the service bulletin by honda. this is completely irresponsible and should be addressed to the company and a recall be generated for these vehicles. *tr

I had car crash two weeks ago with honda civic exi 2007, during driving past three years i complained in service center few times last year about car stability in turns and after drive test they came up with nothing, it happened with me few times that after taking sharp turn the care swing and the car go out of control. this time i was taking exit from the bridge and turning down to the main road ,i realize that the turn is sharp and i tried to slow down but the care doesn't response instead the crazy movement happened again and this time i was holding the wheel and make strong brake surprisingly the car accelerate and turn back to hit the side steel rail , i couldn't explain to police and all the people passes by the accident shocked about what happened that it seem up normal car response , i was in conversation with friend has the same car and i shocked after i know he has made accident the same way , not only him but in visiting the show room the dealer had the same accident but with jazz car , i realize that honda has serious problem in stability and i urge all honda drivers to take care and drive safe and try to get rid of this car and i urge all concerned person to act or conduct the complain in order to find solution before we honda kill more life's.*tr

Unsafe handling. the rear of the car abnormally "darts" laterally when going over concrete expansion joints, potholes or similar road imperfections. this momentary "darting" - or inability of the rear suspension to track correctly - is more pronounced when cornering, especially at highway speeds. i experienced a spin-out (fortunately, no collision) on a wet road at 45-50mph due to overcorrection for this "darting" condition. in conjunction with poor rear suspension handling, accelerated and excessive inner rear tire wear is experienced. effectively shortening the lifespan of a 35,000 to 50,000 mile tire by at least half, if not more. it is even more excessive and accelerated if the tires are not rotated. after my spin-out, i started researching 2007 civic handling / tire-wear on-line and it appears many, many 2006-2007 civic owners have one or both of these conditions and that honda is aware, but not willing to recall this unsafe rear upper control arm design/manufacturing flaw. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact stated that the rear wheel bearing failed prematurely, causing the vehicle to move from side to side while driving. he also noticed a grinding noise coming from the rear end. the dealer had not been notified of the failure. the manufacturer was notified who provided no assistance. the contact replaced the rear bearings and the o ring. the current mileage was 49,000 and the failure mileage was 45,000.

I have less than 65,000 miles on my car. it has received regular scheduled maintenance from the honda dealership. after replacing the 4 original michelin tires @ 38,000 miles i have had to replace the rear tires 3 additional times. the car has an extremely loud "humming" noise coming from the rear end. it eats up the rear tires quickly, which cause the car to mishandle. each new set of rear tires wears out more quickly than the previous ones. i just bought the 4th new set of rear tires on 12/18/2011, drove down to the los angeles area from sacramento. when i returned, i went to the tire store where i purchased the new tires, to gage/check out any possible wear that may have occurred on the trip. at less than 1000 miles (850 of these being highway miles), the new rear tires were already down to 8/32. the humming noise is so loud you can not have a normal conversation in the car, or hear a siren for that matter and the steering appears to be/feel loose. i am afraid to drive this car any short/long distance. *tr

My 2007 honda civic 2-door coupe had wrong rear suspension upper control arms installed at the factory. at the 30,000 service, the honda dealer rotated tires and i had a severe shimmy in the steering wheel. the dealer rotated the tires back and told me i had defective tires--they had worn unevenly. rear tires wear also very noisy, especially on smooth roads (load rumble and a "beat"). i had a blow out at 40,000 miles and replaced all 4 tires. at the 60,000 mile service the dealer rotated the tires and again i had a severe shimmy. dealer said the tires were defective and to return to tire dealer. i went to tire dealer and was informed that my car had a rear suspension problem. tire dealer also told me to look online as many civics had rear suspension problems. went back to honda dealer, showed him a form from the tire dealer stating my car had a suspension problem. honda dealer inspected rear suspension and found my civic had the wrong upper control arms installed. after dealer and i contacted honda with the complaint, honda offered to cover all but $300 of the $800 repair. i had the repair done by the dealer and paid $300. very disappointed that honda is not volunteering to repair a problem that existed with my car from its assembly at the factory. *tr

September 2007 honda civic hybrid with only 37000km to date. i have noticed excessive vibration and today though out the rear. driver wheel was out of line, leaning inwards at the top. i visited the dealer and was told the car needed a "rear suspension alignment". i'm an engineer and didn't buy this explanation. researching on internet this evening i found many reports that there is a major defect with the rear suspension. it's not an alignment problem but a failure of the suspension arms. has honda put out a recall, in any case we have a 7 year extended warranty but no doubt an upcoming battle with the dealer unless honda comes forward to honor their commitment to safety. many report the condition is dangerous due to excessive rear tire wear. updated 12/30/10 *bf we are in canada, can you advise to whom we should make our complaint. updated 11/02/10 the consumer stated the dealership made the repairs to his vehicle at no charge. however, he did have to purchase new tires. updated 01/10/11*jb *tr

My 2007 honda civic gets uneven rear tire wear referred to as cupping with an accompanying vibration and noise. honda has issued a service bulletin, 08-001 regarding this problem and the corrective action required to fix it. they denied that my vehicle had this problem and would not pay for any corrective action. *tr

We bought a 2007 honda civic ex new. the tires wear out fast and i found out the wrong rear suspension parts are installed . the dealer wants over 300 dollars to install the correct rear control arms. i have googled this problem and found that there are hundreds of civic owners that are facing the same problem and are getting nowhere with honda. what does it take to get a car company to stand behind its product? *tr

Car is very unstable when subjected to crosswinds. steering corrections have to be constantly made to keep the car on course. this is extremely dangerous as overcorrections can happen. i notice other similar size cars i'm following on the highway in the same conditions are not nearly affected as i am. i purchased the car used with 60k miles back in 10/2010 and it has always been a problem. i had the rear upper suspension arms replaced (at my expense) with an aftermarket brand to correct the caster problem back into specification and the tires have been replaced but this has not made any difference in the way the car handles in side wind conditions. *tr

Rear control arms defective causing flat spots in rear tires. problem reported to dealer at 35,xxx miles. control arms replaced under warranty. tires were not covered due to mileage even though problem was caused by defective components. *tr

I bought a new 2007 honda civic hybrid from a certified honda dealership. the design flaw of the rear tire arms of the vehicle caused the tire arm to rub on the tires of the car until the tires were nearly bald causing the car to shutter and the structure of the tires to weaken endangering me and my passengers. when i took the car to honda, i was forced to replace the tires prematurely 2 times since owning the car due to the irregular wear on the tires. honda did not notify me of the problem, refused to pay for new tires but finally admitted after the second pair of tires were rubbed bald, that the tire arm of the car was causing damage to the tires. they repaired the tire arm, but would not pay for new tires. the transmission of the car is also flawed in design. occasionally when accelerating, the gas pedal of the car can be pushed to the floor and the car will not continue to accelerate and will loose power. this has happened at stop lights, entering the freeway, and going up hills endangering my life and the lives of my passengers. honda again, did not notify me of the problem, but told me when i brought the car in after experiencing the problems that i needed an upgrade to my computer and that those upgrades may fix the problem. those updates to the computers effect the battery of the hybrid part of the car's engine. those batteries are loosing the ability to hold a charge and causing the transmission to fail because the car relies on that battery power to run the engine. the gas mileage of the car has also been steadily declining. when the car was new, it got 45 mpg and honda advertised it get 50 mpg, the car now gets around 33 mpg. the computer updates are changing the way the car runs off of gas and battery power and honda is not replacing the faulty batteries. this has endangered my life and the lives of my passengers because the faulty batteries effect how the car operates. *tr

Honda civic - 2007 hybrid - needs new "control arms" as the tires are unsafe to drive - apparently this is happening a lot, i'm surprised there is not a recall yet. i've got 70k miles and finishing my 2nd set of rear tires already - they refuse to correct at no cost, even though they've even put out a "service bulletin". *tr

honda civic hybrid has tire wear on inner part of back tires. at 21,000 miles dealer says the back tires need to be replaced, they say it may be a balance problem. i researched the problem and safety bulletin indicates the rear control arm is defective, but car hasn't been recalled. the control arm needs replacement, but they will only give a % of replacement for back tires. it sounds like if the problem is not fixed there will continue to be unsual tire wear, which poses a safety risk to drivers. am contacting dealer tomorrow about problem. *tr

I also saw there is a tsb recall (honda tsb 08-001) on the 2007 civic but not on the si on replacing the rear arms. my 2007 civic si has the same visible tire wear and tread cupping which would be fixed by the recall but my car is not included. the fix is a simple replacement of the rear chamber arms. i bought this car brand new and had it in on a recall for the 3rd gear. i'd like that same treatment and to be included on the recall to change my rear chamber arms. i'm annoyed that honda will fix the problem on all the other trim lines but not the civic si. *tr

Honda civic 2006-2007 have a defect of the rear stabilizer bar. this causes the tires to wear unevenly. it is not vi sable unless you are under the car. the tire wear causes these cars to become unsafe. when i discovered this on a web-site i took my car back to the dealer and asked them to repair this defect. i was refused and at that time called american honda. this was noted and referred to their review board. no response has been received from honda although they are aware of the dangerous nature of this problem. they were informed of my concern regarding my safety and those on the road with me. the extreme cost of replacing these parts, a 4th set of new tires and realignment will not be covered as the warranty is expired. this is a defect that they know about, and have known about. would it have been recalled when they realized the problem the cost would have been covered. thank you *tr

There is "popping/crackling" noise coming from the front suspension, which is occurring in many other civics. seems like a faulty "bump stop" which american honda should be responsible for because its happening in many cars. secondly, the cheap paint which is used on their vehicles, they recently had a tsb on certain colors, its not only 3 colors which have this issue, i have a galaxy grey metallic which has paint issues on the roof like the other colors. american honda needs to get their act straight or this is the last vehicle i own and won't recommend to any of my friends or family. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact stated that while driving 70 mph, the vehicle began to shake and vibrate abnormally. the contact found the driver side rear tire was worn completely through the tread. the passenger side rear tire was also worn prematurely. the contact replaced both tires. the contact stated that the rear upper control arms on both sides were fractured. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 61,802.

I bought a brand new 2007 honda civic hybrid that i have had to replace the tires on 3 times and the vehicle only has 45,000 miles. counting the original tires that came on the vehicle that's 4-sets of tires. these tires were 70,000 mile rated tires. i contacted my local dealer in little rock, ar and they advise that there is no recall to fix the problem; however, they stated that honda was aware of the problem and attributed it to a defective rear camber arm. they advised me that there is a public safety bulletin 08-001on the part. because no recall has been issued for the defective rear camber arm they advised me that it would cost $700 to replace the defective ones. the excessive tire wear caused by this defective part can easily result in tire blow-outs, vehicle accidents, and highway fatalities. the fact that a known safety deficiency exist that honda is aware of but unwilling to correct needs to be investigated. *tr

Reference honda tsb 08-001. incorrect/defective upper rear control arms installed during manufacture of vehicle leading to excessive wear on rear tires. this leads to excessive noise/vibration from rear and also possibly affects control/handling of vehicle. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact stated that the vehicle had been through two sets of tires in less than 38,000 miles. the factory tires had to be replaced in 2009 because of premature wear. the dealer stated that there was a related tsb for the rear upper control arms; the vehicle was repaired and an alignment was performed. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer for premature wear again and the tires were replaced. the failure mileage was approximately 19,000 and the current mileage was approximately 37,000.

I own a 07 honda civic that has a major factory problem with the rear control arm. the vehicle can't stay aligned and is a part the have to be replace. honda had a service bulletin for this safety problem but we i took the car to the dealer, they do not cover it under warranty on a cpo vehicle. i checked on the internet and a lot of owners are having the same safety issue. honda should do a recall and offer to replace this defective part. the vehicle bounce while you are driving and the noise is real bad. hopefully other owners have contacted you with the same issue and concern. *tr

Excessive tire wear and loud noise from rear of vehicle. we have replaced two sets of tires, once at 11,000 miles and at 36,000 miles and they are again worn at 58,461 miles. we learned of a service bulletin, service bulletin number : 08-001 date of bulletin : feb 08, 2008, issued by honda and after much complaining since we were a few hundred miles past the 3 year 36,000 mile mark the dealer made the repairs and aligned the car. we have rotated the tires regularly and the loud noise is back as well as excessive tire wear. i find it ridiculous to have to replace tires like this because the tire warranty is void because the tread in one section is beyond the limit for replacement. the honda dealer is claiming we have not rotated the tires enough/properly which seems to be a common excuse for others complaining about the problem to honda. *tr

2007 honda civic hybrid very rapid inside edge tire wear. at 21k we need 3rd set of tires for loud excessive noise at 25-65 mph and even slow turning . have had our honda dealer install the new "c" marked control arms and alignment done also at 13k. honda rep looked at car today with 21k said all is ok and is to honda specs. this is not my idea of a car that is made correctly or in anyone's spec's anywhere in the real automotive world ! really 3 sets of tires in 21k miles "normal" that takes alot of ignorance on honda's part. a stressful waiting game for the tire's to blow out, heaven knows you will not hear tires go with all the noise from them. just hope were able to control car and no one gets hurt. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. while driving approximately 70 mph the vehicle began to vibrate. the contact stated that over time the vibration became much worse and more profound while driving at highway speeds. the vehicle was in the process of being taken to an authorized dealer in regards to a suspension related technical service bulletin. the failure mileage was 69,000. the current mileage was 72,000. the vin was unavailable.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda civic lx. the contact stated that the rear upper control arm failed and caused uneven tire wear. all four tires had to be replaced and two alignments were performed. however, the failure continued. the dealer told the contact to call the manufacturer who offered no assistance as the warranty had expired. the failure mileage was approximately 94,000.

Took car to discount tire because rear tire not holding air. on inspection of tire it was worn where the belts were exposed. replaced tires at that time and had alignment. tires rated for 60,000 miles. on 1/30/2013 took car in for tire rotation. was shown badly cupped tires. mileage on the car was 67,000. half the mileage the tires were rated for. replaced tires yet again. just received notice of a class action suit and control arm replacement for the honda civic. this does not include the honda civic si 2007. why is the si excluded??. it is exactly the same body style and uses the same control arms which appears to be the source of the problem. in fact, your safety complaint form doesn't even list honda si. it only lists honda civic. with such aggressive uneven tire wear it would seem to pose a serious safety problem since the tires wear out so quickly. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda civic ex coupe. while driving 55 mph the contact noticed that the rear end of the vehicle began to vibrate excessively. when the vehicle was examined he noticed that the rear tires were worn on the inside. he contact the dealer and was advised that they would assist him with the cost of replacing the tires. he located a technical service bulletin that identified the rear tire failure was due to a defective rear suspension geometry. the vehicle will be repaired by the dealer. the manufacturer will be notified. the current mileage was 14,391. the failure mileage was 14,900.

My 2007 honda civic has rapid and uneven tire wear resulting in the car to not respond correctly when turning at high speeds. because of not being able to adjust camber on the rear upper control arm. there is no adjustment on the car to fix this problem. *tr

Rear tires eaten to the point of failure within 10,000 miles. no camber adjustment for 2007 honda civic. discussion with honda dealership resulted in the suggestion that i file a complaint as honda american will not honor their own ts document(tb 08-001) without additional approval from honda of america. honda of american requires a complaint, an investigation, and approval by a regional manager. additional follow-up appears to be nothing more than road blocks for car owners at the expense of safety. the dealership admits a repair kit is available for about $100, not including any tire replacement. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact was driving 65 mph when the vehicle began to shake abnormally. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer yet the dealer was unable to locate a failure. the vehicle was then taken to a local tire facility where the contact was advised that the vehicle needed two new tires. the tires were not replaced. the vehicle was taken to a different dealer for a third opinion. the dealer advised that the upper control arms were defective which was causing the tires to wear prematurely. the upper control arms were repaired under factory warranty. the dealer advised that they were not responsible for the worn tires. the failure mileage was 30,000 was and the current mileage was 44,623.

When i am traveling at speeds above 65mph my entire car vibrates/shutters/shimmy/shakes. it is felt in the steering wheel, and shifter, and the overall ride of the vehicle. it only occurs when i press the gas to accelerate. if i am traveling at 72mph and i release my foot from the gas the vibration does not go away 100%, but it's greatly reduced. at 32,000 my tires were completely bald and worn. i brought my car to honda who would not honor the warranty which expired at 30,000. i then took my car to a repair mechanic who told me the he could not fix the camber which was out of alignment. it was the cause of the excessive tire wear and so i bought new tires and had them mounted, aligned and balanced. recently after having a 50,000 major service performed on my car by honda the problem came back. had the right and left inner cv joints replaced and the vibration still persists. *tr

The front anti-sway bar on the 2007 honda civic ex is dangerously weak. the slightest side wind while driving on the interstate causes the front end to lift up on one side, causing the car to be unstable. twice i had to swerve on the interstate. both times i thought the car was going to roll down the highway. i feel very lucky to be alive. after replacing the front anti-sway bar, the rear end still had some sway, so i replaced it, too. only eiberg makes replacements so far for 2007 & up for the civic ex. the car is now safe to drive on the interstate and during windy conditions. *tr
