I bought this brand new $17k car in august. i have replaced seven tires. all diff wheels. all different continental tires 185/60 15. .breakdowns on my commute home after midnight. finally my 7th breakdown was broadcast as i was trying to cross the george washington bridge at 1 am on valentines day and with honda roadside assistance and my insurance co roadside assistance, no one came to my aid. i was blockintg traffic, as i tried myself to change the tire after two hours of fear that my car or i would be hit by a tractor trailor, and that would be the end of me. the electrical problem, all lights on dashboard on began after the second tire malfunction, and cannot be reset. i need to go to dealer and rent a car for them to figure this all out. meanwhile, my gas mileage has major issues. i refuel ever other day. same commute for 6 years. when i drove my mini cooper, i filled up once a week. but three or four times a week? something is wrong with my car at 10,000 miles. it feels like a clunker. i am going to get rid of it. look into my states lemon law and rid myself of this hunk of junk. i am also writing to honda. but this tire issue has cost me over $1500 dollars in six months and time/safety issues. one buys a new car for freedom from problems. this is unacceptable customer service at the dealership, (especially since they knew of this "tire" issue.
