Problems with 2007 Honda Civic SUSPENSION

I am on my 4th set of tires for 2007 honda civic ex. rotated regularly, serviced car at dealership, only 52,000 miles. online research shows defect with rear upper control arm. honda service bulletin 08-001 shows honda was aware of the issue with premature and uneven tire wear. there should have been a recall as this a safety issue. initially i was not aware i was driving on bald tires until the car didn't pass inspection. i discovered problem online and went to dealership. after making excuses and denying scope of problem service rep was surprised when i showed him the service bulletin. stated car is affected but out of warranty. i called honda corp and am waiting for an investigator to return call. honda will have to pay. i will not pay out of pocket for this. i will go to bbb or state ag. *tr

When i originally purchased this vehicle at $14,000 miles i immediately started to hear noise from the tires at highway speed but it wasn't until my failed inspection that i noticed the severity of the uneven wear/ear on mainly the back tires. due to a control arm recall, i went to honda in order to get this fixed and purchased my own tires at the time since they wouldn't cover it. unfortunately, about 19,000 miles later, again my inspection failed due to the tires. i had replaced it again but at this time honda would not do anything and told me that it is past the warranty point and if i bring it in and they find that there's something wrong, i would have to pay for it as its not covered under my general warranty. i don't get this because clearly it is a manufactures recall and i shouldn't have to pay for this plus my tires every 19,000 miles. i purposely chose to buy a honda because they are known to be economical and reliable. none of which my '07 honda civic ex has been. i tried taking it out with new tires during the snow; biggest mistake. even driving in the rain is a hazard. this should be a huge warning for those who are in the market for a honda civic. these cars are not worth the price if the tires are not reliable. tires are an important sector of a car. this is really disappointing and i would not think twice about taking this matter to court. *tr

Excessive tire wear on 2007 honda civic hybrid. during routine service at 25,000 miles at honda dealer, i was advised that the tires needed replacing due to wear. i complained because these were supposed to be 60,000 mile tires. when i kept complaining and refusing to have them replaced with the same brand of tire (bridgestone), i was finally advised that the rear upper control arms were bad and had caused the excessive wear. the control arms were replaced under warranty and i received a partial credit on the new tires. i later researched the problem on the internet and observed that there was a service bulletin on this very same problem. it is worth the money ($26.00) to pay to have access to these bulletins. i have since discovered another service bulletin problem that affected my car and had it repaired. it was an sluggish acceleration problem with the civic hybrids. *tr

The rear suspension and the rear upper control arm cause excessive and premature wear on tires requiring replacement of premium tires after only 20,000 miles or less. my car has about 80k miles and is in need of its 4th set of tires. needles to say the wear create unsafe conditions while driving faster than 50mph making driving on the interstate a risky endeavor. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact stated that the rear upper control arm caused irregular wear and tear on the tires. the dealer informed him that they would replace the upper arms on the rear but he would have to pay the repair cost. there are no recalls or warranties for his vehicle. the manufacturer confirmed that there were no warranties related to the failure and offered no assistance. the failure mileage was 52,000. updated 05/03/11*lj the rear control arms were repaced. updated 06/06/11

Shortly after the vehicle warranty expired, we began to notice a loud humming sound coming from the rear wheels which steadily got worse. also, we experienced extreme lack of control over the car during icy conditions. we discovered that the humming sound was coming from rear tires that were severely cupped. it was necessary to purchase new back tires, get the front and back aligned, and purchase and have installed, a stabilizer bar. we understand that this is a common defect in this model and year of car. *tr

I purchased car from honda dealership in may 2008; a honda service bulletin regarding problem with rear upper control arms was issued in february 2008. therefore, the dealership knew of the problem, but did not fix it or inform me prior to purchasing vehicle. around february 2010, i started experiencing severe problems with the handling of my car. it vibrated and shook aggressively at highway speeds and i had absolutely no control over the vehicle whatsover on wet roads. it felt like only two wheels were on the ground at any given moment. at 42k miles in july 2010, i replaced the tires at ntb. (i thought issues were related only to bad tires.) now, 30k miles and a little over a year later, i am experiencing the exact same problems. severe vibration, loss of control. my car feels like a death trap that i don't have the money to buy my way out of. after investigating the problem online and discovering that the car had a manufacturing flaw, i feel like i have been scammed by honda. *kb

The rear upper control arms on both sides of my 2007 honda civic coupe were defective. this caused both rear tires to become badly "cupped" and caused excessive road noise. my personal safety was placed in danger as these rear tires could have failed at any time possibly causing an accident. this vehicle only has 23,000 miles on it. honda is aware of this problem, but has not initiated a recall. research online shows this problem to be extremely common. *tr

Uneven and rapid rear tire wear in the 2007 honda civic lx sedan 5 speed automatic. the uneven and rapid tire wear is accompanied by constant loud roaring noise from the rear while the vehicle is in motion and vibration at highway speed. maintenance has been performed regularly ' i paid the local honda dealership to complete wheel and tire alignment, balance, and rotation every 5000 miles when i take the car for a oil-change, yet i already replaced 2 sets of tires at 43000 miles ' once at 19000 miles and another one at 39000 miles. the tires i used were goodyear eagle rsa p/n 42751-gyr-036 h/g 8270498 p205/55r16. this is a safety concern for most drivers since regular drivers do not anticipate tire balding every 20000 miles and perhaps the drivers are unaware of driving on bald tires. the local honda dealership diagnosed the problem as a rear upper control arm issue but refused to cover the cost of the repair. this premature wire wearing is clearly a honda defect and a safety concern. *tw

Experienced uneven tire wear on rear tires. appears to be related to the upper control arms and the service bulletin 08-001. symptoms include rough ride as if tires are out of balance. oem dunlop tires were routinely rotated and balanced and still required replacement at 32k. new tires with 15k are showing same issues, cupping of inner tread edge. at speeds of 50-60 mph, shake was so evident that i was concerned about handling ability. changed upper control arms and tires with minor improvement. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact stated the rear end of the vehicle would sway back and forth while driving various speeds. the failure recurred intermittently. the vehicle was eventually taken to an authorized dealer who stated that the rear upper control arms were defective and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and the contact was awaiting a response. the failure mileage was 20,000.

I purchased a brand new honda civic 2007 and within 2 years (~25k-26k miles) the rear tires started vibrating loudly. when i took it to the servicing center i was told that there is a problem with the rear control arms which can cause uneven or premature tire wear in all 2006-2007 civics, except for the si. while the problem developed over a few months i was in warranty but when it was diagnosed and i went in for a claim honda said i was out of warranty so they would replace the parts for free but i would have to pay for labor and would get no reimbursement for the totally chopped tires. this is a very wide-spread problem (online honda/civic forums are full of complaints) which i believe poses a grave road safety problem and danger to the lives of owners who could get into accidents due to bad tires, if not diagnosed on time. honda has been shunning its responsibility by not sending out a recall and addressing this problem with due diligence. i urge you to take this matter up with honda and ensure that the thousands of affected civic owners get complete paid repairs and assurance from honda. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. while driving 50 mph the contact heard a loud noise in the rear end of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact had the rear upper control arms replaced on the vehicle. there were no prior warnings. the failure mileage was 45,000 and the current mileage was 50,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. while driving at approximately 35 mph, there was an abnormal noise coming from the front of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front struts needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired twice, but the failure recurred. the contact was informed that the struts needed to be replaced a third time. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 75,000.

Tires severely worn and cupped, car has serious vibration asked honda dealer for a wheel alignment they stated the problem was rear control arm so the honda dealer replaced it i had to pay 1/3, the dealer paid 1/3 and honda paid 1/3 or so i was told after much bickering. *tr

Vehicle is on 3rd set of tires at 54,000 miles. through search, located honda service bulletin date 01/22/2008 that rectifies the problem. however, first set of original turanzas lasted 22,000 miles and bridgestone blamed honda. 2nd set lasted just 30,000 miles. honda charged $32 to repair problem, but should have reported to customers when they issued service bulletin. customer is out the cost of tires (approx. $400). *tr

2007 honda civics eat up tires. something is wrong with the suspension of the car that causes the tires to wear at unevenly and dangerously quick. we only get 1/3 of the warranty life of tires and when we replace the technicians tell us the tires are unsafe to drive on. they are worn unevenly, blistered on the inside so much that wires are sticking through. this is a common complaint for this vehicle. *tr

Rapid tire wear occurred on the inner portions of both rear tires. the problem was discovered after noticing much road noise and having the tires rotated. two new tires were purchased and the rear upper control arms were replaced. the problem still exists to this day after consulting two different honda garages they both confirmed that the rear control arms were installed correctly and are within spec. both garages recommended replacing the tires again, but this is becoming very costly. the ride of the car over the last year has gotten significantly worse and now i'm noticing braking problems. the car hops in the back when applying the brakes at highway speeds. honda is denying the problem and has offered no compensation. *tr

Popping noise while turning at 5,268 miles. replaced two tires at 19,785 miles. need a front end axle replacement at 31,839. diagnosed and adjusted torqued rear suspension noise at 60,136. replaced rear upper control arms 61,275. replaced shocks, and cv boots at 61,275. struts were making noise due to cupping. struts were replaced at 61,275. two new tires that were recently replaced were replaced again. both tires were feathered and making noise. vehicle is maintained in good condition and is following the manufacturer's maintenance recommendation. car was aligned as required by manufacturer. however, cupping or feathering of the tires still happened. when the rear control arm was not replaced yet, the rear noise was so loud and driving was bad. the tires felt flat and the shock absorber did not seem to be working. it is very hard to deal with both honda america and kolbe dealer. both companies tried to play ignorant of the issues although they knew it all along. i spent $1,419.11 for premature expenses. american honda blamed the premature damages to me. american honda nor kolbe honda did not notify me of the technical bulletins that were issued. also, just because there is a technical bulletin or corrective action does not mean that the problem will go away. design of the rear upper control arm must be reviewed again and tested for geometry with other parts of the vehicle. honda america should tightened its quality control and quality assurance so that its manufacturing facility will not release cars that have defective parts. honda knew very well that the rear upper control arms have design flawed starting with 2002 honda civic. why are they still using this design? is it because they manufactured so much of the wrong parts? the battery, and water pump pulley were replaced, updated 07/16/12

1. i drive a 2007 honda civic ex coupe. my car was perfectly fine. i was on the freeway cruising along, at highway speeds, and suddenly, out of nowhere, my rear control arm broke. 2. my rear control arm broke for absolutely no reason, it snapped in half because the parts made to assemble them were made from lower quality material. the quality of material used to put together the rear control arm was completely unsafe. whoever thought of using that particular material for a rear control arm in a vehicle should definitely have charges pressed against him for attempted manslaughter. i did not hit anything on the road, and the piece just snapped. this is definitely due to a lack of commitment to use quality material on the rear control arm. this was on the freeway at freeway speeds. when a rear control arm breaks because of faulty material, scientifically, what happens 99.999999% of the time is the wheel flies off, the driver loses complete control of the car, the car spins a few times, the car gets hit by a few other cars, the car flips over a few times, and the driver is left dead. how i did not fall into that scientific calculation is nothing less than an act of god. if i drove one more mile, this would've probably occurred. fortunately, i did not crash. this has been an experience that has been completely traumatic to myself, and i am in complete fear of driving any honda now. i haven't had the money to replace the parts on my vehicle, because my car is out of warranty. this particular piece of the car should have definitely been in a recall. 3. nothing has been to correct the failure as of yet. the car is sitting in a shop, but i am without the budget to fix the faulty pieces that almost killed me. *tr

2007 honda civic hybrid - the oem rear suspension geometry wears the inner edge of the tires extremely quickly. honda issued a service bulletin (08-001) identifying and correcting the problem with replacement upper control arms. the dealer/honda refuses to cover parts/labor charges for correction on a car that is not under warranty anymore. this is clearly a design defect that impacts safety and i believe the manufacturer should correct it at their expense. *tr

The rear suspension / upper rear control arms are defective leading to excessive negative rear camber. this caused rapid tire wear to the inside edges and a potential safety issue in wet conditions. honda has issued a tsb (08-001) that covers this problem however they have excluded the si model in their tsb. i requested and received and parts diagram showing the faulty upper control arms on the cars covered by tsb 08-001 carry the exact same part number as those on the si model that is excluded. later year model si cars have a new design upper control arm to correct this problem. my dealer said that honda will not cover my car under this tsb although the problem and parts are identical. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda civic hybrid. the rear suspension caused the vehicle to vibrate, make noise and the tires to become uneven. a mechanic stated that the failure was caused by the struts suspension which was also associated with the rear axle. the dealer stated that they were only able to repair the suspension if the replaced two tires and aligned them. the contact stated that he should not be required to purchase tires since the struts and rear axle caused the failure. service bulletin# 08-0001 dated february 2009 is related to the rear suspension and directly related to the failure. the bulletin also indicated that the dealer had to install a rear upper control arm kit, replace the fan bolts and the worn tires. the manufacturer has not been notified. the failure mileage was 19,098. the dealer replaced the upper control arm kit, but when the consumer asked the dealer if a 4-wheel alignment had been done, their reply was the tires were so badly worn and alignment could not be performed unless two tires were purchased for the rear. the consumer stated he should not be required be required to purchase the upper control arms for the rear axle caused by the badly worn tires. the service bulletin stated the worn tires were to be replaced along with other parts. the manner in which the tire replacement was handled by the dealer gave the contact only two options; drive away in a very unsafe vehicle without completion of the work or pay whatever the dealer asked for the tires so the work specified by the service bulletin could be completed. with limited options, the consumer paid for new tires. the manufacturer was notified on sept 21, 2009 via priority mail. updated 10/22/09 *bf

Loud vibration and noise coming from the rear of my 2007 honda civic. took it to the dealer who told me the control arms had been recalled and that my tires were now "cupped". the dealer replaced the control arms but would not replace the tires which had been damaged. *tr

I purchased a 2007 honda civic from autofair honda of manchester nh and have had all oil changes and tire rotation services done with their service department. i have over 39,000 miles on the car. the autofair service department never once informed me about a honda bulletin regarding the civic's rear suspension causing rear tires to go bald, which mine did. during my last tire rotation on april 14, they did not notify me that my tread was going bare. on july 4, i discovered that my back tires were bare after realizing that they were making considerable noise while riding on the highway. i purchased new tires the following monday from a local tire store. during my online search for new tires i found out that other civic car owners had similar problems due to a rear suspension fault with honda civics. i then made an appointment with autofair to have them check this issue on july 13. the service department then informed me that their was an issue and needed to be repaired. because my warranty has expired, i had to pay autofair to fix this issue. they put in the following part: 1 04523-sna-a01 set, upper arm rr. i'm upset that they did not inform me about this issue sooner. we've had a very wet june and my tires were not safe for driving in such conditions. other people at the autofair service department waiting room have said they've had the same problem.*tr

2007 honda civic si sedan, the rear suspension is defective causing premature tire wear, in less than 30,000 miles i had gone through two sets of tires, and two rear bearings. rear bearings were replaced under warranty, but i paid for the tires. the dealer refuses to replace the rear control arms, which means that the brand new tires will also wear prematurely, and possibly another set of rear bearings... *tr

Right rear tire wears incorrectly, cupping or scalloping occurs, appears to be to much negative camber. the cupping creates "wobbling" or road noise. *tr

I purchased a 2007 honda civic hybrid on april 16,2009 w/ 21k miles. the pre purchase inspection by an independent "honda specialist" was done in my presence and no problems were noted. my long time specialist mechanic even stated "that is the first prepurchase i've ever done where i couldn't find anything wrong even the tires match and have worn evenly. two months to the day and 3k miles later (24,365) i went to the dealership to have the oil changed and tires rotated i was told three tires were showing wear on the inside. i did not believe the dealer and drove off on a sat. knowing they were fine 3k miles ago. i checked the tires closely on monday (after driving 40 miles to work) and found them to be showing thread on 3 tires. further research showed a tsb 008-001(rear control arms out of spec) that addresses this problem although it was never mentioned to me by the dealer. i could have easily killed myself or someone else. this should be a recall item due to how fast the tires can wear from safe to very dangerous. 90% of the tire tread looked very good but the inside 10 % which cannot be seen without getting on your hand and knees was extremely worn. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact stated that his rear alignment needed to be repaired and had cause the tires to fail. the dealer has made three attempts to correct the failure. the tires were replaced and rotated which included an alignment; however, the tires have continued to wear out prematurely. the honda manufacturer advised the contact to take the vehicle back to the dealer. the failure mileage was 35,000.

Uneven tire wear on a 2007 honda civic hybrid. *tr

I have a 2007 honda civic that i bought new. i have had it serviced regularly, and each time i have told the dealer that i hear a loud noise in the rear. they have repeatedly told me that the noise is normal for my model and tires. the noise became so bad that i insisted they do something. they now say that the rear upper control arms must be replaced and that the car must be aligned and that my tires are ruined. the damage to the tires has caused a serious safety condition. they replaced the rear control arms, but i still have the bad tires. the car is still under warranty. this is a serious and dangerous defect. there should be a recall. *tr

Uneven tire wear at 16,500 due to rear control arm design flaw. honda issued tsb 08-001. they know about the problem but will not admit to it unless pressed. i did extensive research, confronted them and finally they "repaired" rear control arm???? but would not replace my worn tires or give me a tire alignment. i replaced all four tires at my expense and now 4,000 miles later , i hear excessive road noise and wonder if the problem was ever fixed. this is a safety and road hazard. honda should be held accountable. there should be a recall and the problem should be fixed correctly and completely without the customer being charged or harassed. *tr

I have a 2007 honda civic hybrid. i have had all scheduled maintenance completed at an authorized honda dealer. i have had a continual problem with wheel alignment/tire wear issues. the first set of tires (dunlops) lasted just a little over 30,000 miles despite regular rotation. when replaced, large patches of cord were visible. the next set (michelins) has nearly 20,000 miles on them, and are also showing uneven tire wear despite regular tire rotations. the upper control arms in the rear were replaced 10,000 miles ago and the alignment was checked on all four wheels at that time. i drive very conservatively, with nearly 95% of my driving freeway driving at or below posted speed limits. i believe like others that this is a design flaw. it can be serious if tires are not checked on a regular basis. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and all four tires were replaced. shortly afterwards she had all four tires rotated. after the tires were rotated she had to have a new set of tires installed. she notices a peculiar noise coming from the wheel bearings. she was in the process of having the vehicle inspected to determine the cause of the failure. the failure mileage was 20,000. the current mileage was 65,000.

My 2007 hit 80,000 miles and i just had to get my third set of rear tires (after the originals) because of extremely fast wear in a cupping pattern. it has gotten so bad that between one oil change to the next my independent mechanic told me i needed to replace two year-old tires immediately because they were in danger of the tread separating from the body of the tire and causing an accident. the abnormal tire wear started at about 39,000 miles when the first set of tires wore out. i had thought i just had some bad tires for the first and second replacement sets, but after i bought a third set of rear tires - and my second set of michelin tires - i figured there must be something else to this and so checked with the dealer. the honda dealer acknowledges this is apparently a "common" problem with the 2006-07 civics and the (sort of) fix is to replace the control arms in the rear suspension and do a 4-wheel alignment. they don't see it as a safety issue and apparently honda will not do the replacement at no charge. *tr

When i took my '07 civic hybrid to my dealer in may for an oil change, they told me all four tires needed to be replaced due to worn out treads. the car only had 18500 miles on it at the time, so i was flabbergasted. the service advisor suggested i was driving the car too aggressively. while researching replacement tires online, i discovered that this premature tire wear had happened to many other civic owners. in fact, honda had issued a service bulletin (008-001) for this back in early '08. there is a problem with the rear control arms which can cause uneven or premature tire wear in all 2006-2007 civics, except for the si. so i went back to the dealer, showed the advisor the service bulletin, and got the control arms fixed. now why didn't they just fix the control arms in the first place instead of questioning the customer's driving habits? seems to me either the advisor is incompetent or dishonest. i suspect it's the latter as she mentioned that honda doesn't pay the dealer much to cover the repair. others on the internet have had the same experience over this issue. looks like honda stumbled on this one. *tr

Tires wear out , due to weak stabilizer bars on rear end, honda replaced the stabilizer's, and aligned car, however don't pay to replace tires, only way to know you have a problem is to take car to dealer, if you get you service anywhere else, you don't know you have a problem. i took car in for oil change and got the word about the service bulletin. *tr

Roaring rotational noise from rear of car. rear tires cupped and worn out at 21,400 miles. dealer says cause of noise and tire damage is bad rear suspension / rear control arms. dealer will replace control arms under warranty - no offer of compensation on ruined rear tires. tires would not be ruined if control arms did not fail! *tr

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

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact stated while driving 40 mph and higher, the vehicle began vibrating and making a rumbling noise. the contact observed that the there was a blister on the inside of the tire. the vehicle was taken to a local repair facility where it was determined that the rear upper control arm was too short and caused the tire to bend inward and form a blister. the two rear tires were replaced at a cost of $230.00. the manufacturer informed the contact that there were no current recalls and no compensation would be offered. there is a current technical service bulletin regarding the failure. the contact stated that the failure would continue to occur and result in the rear tires having to be replaced continuously. the failure mileage was 35,000 and the current mileage is 51,000. updated 09/25/09 *bf updated 09/29/09.*jb

Rear control arms are defective and cause dangerously uneven tire wear. *tr

Honda civic 2006_2007 have a defect off the assembly line in the rear of the car it chews through tires due to a negative camber of the rear wheels. i am getting new upper control arms and my rear wheel bearings replaced at no cost to me,and my 2 of my tires(hopefully 4 in the end) prorated based on wear. there is a honda service bulletin issued ion this,but i was never made aware of it. my fear is that a car owner who doesn't examine his tires closely will see no excessive wear since the negative camber effects the inside of the tires. this could result in a nasty blow out and some cases have been reported on the internet,although i can't substantiate them. i feel this is a real safety issue. i have been a long time honda owner and love their cars,but this has really left a bad taste in my mouth that they have not been made to issue a recall on this issue. the technician admitted it is a known problem that is a design issue. i'm sure this would be a huge cost to honda,but it's not worth someone's life. thanks for your time. *tr

I have to replace the tires every 30000 miles due to uneven tire wear. i guess there is a known problem with a faulty rear arms that honda keeps ignoring after so many complaints. sure way to lose customers when you pride your self in quality but not delivering. *tr

Premature tire malfunction--severe checker board fashion cupping across the tires tread made us replace the rear tires on our 2007 honda civic. this is not a tire problem as our front tires are wearing normal. the problem is a design flaw, honda used too short of rear control arms on their rear suspensions. a recall has been issued for some 2006/2007 civics, but not all. please be advised that many other civics need recalled to address this safety issue. tires control the vehicles stability and traction when accelerating, driving and stopping. *tr
