Civic Hybrid

  • 117,000 miles
2008 Honda civic has excessive, dangerous rear tire wear. No heavy towing or anything crazy, and the inner edge of the tires (about 3" inward) wears completely off by 15,000-20,000 miles, well short of the front tires, our rear outer edge of the tire. Very dangerous, expensive, makes noise and affects braking. Honda has a tsb, but won't acknowledge it as a manufacturing defect requiring a recall.

Civic Hybrid 4-cyl

  • miles
Three of the four wheels on the car have corrosion around the base of the tire pressure monitor system sensors that allows air to leak from the tire. The worst of the leaks I'm experiencing currently allows a loss of about 7 psi per week and is slowly getting worse over time. A Honda regional service rep had suggested that adding air may be allowing moisture into the tire/wheel assembly contributing to the internal corrosion, which doesn't seem to have been a problem on any other car I've ever owned.
