This is the third time my passenger side motor mount has completely broken off!!

- Altoona, IA, USA

Bought the car 2 days ago. Did test drive it with no notable issues. I did not take it on the highway because I was not familiar with the area and the salesman insisted not to go on the highway due to road construction outside the dealership. So on the way home I did take the highway from the dealership following my husband out of the area until I got to familiar territory. Then he got behind me. Well while driving on the highway I felt the car swaying side to side having trouble staying between the lines. Didn't feel right and when I would hit a bump the back end of the car moved all over the place. Well when my husband and I got home I mentioned it to him and he said when he was behind me he noticed the right back of the car was bouncing up and down. With that said I have a 16 month old grandson that I intend to have in my car on occasion and it's scary to think that my car may not be safe for the road and/or put myself or someone else in danger. The salesman showed me the carfax report and services that were done on the car. But did not disclosed anything of what I am experiencing with the vehicle

Like many of the tire wear complaints for this vehicle, rear tires developed irregular flat spots, and rear tires were very noisy. Talked with ken in torrance, ca (american Honda) but Honda refused to accept any responsibility. After two sets of tires in 33,000 miles, ken agreed to pay 50% of next tire purchase. If there was nothing wrong with the vehicle, then why would ken agree to pay half of next tire purchase?

One of the control arms, I believe it is called, went bad and cracked. The front ones went bad and had to be replaced, but were under warranty. These would be the arms that connect and hold the tires/brakes but not the suspension. I may have referred to them wrong, but they went bad nonetheless.

The front motor mount has failed and is vibrating loudly. Also, the cruise control button has failed @ 50K on 2 Honda Civic generation 8's that I own.

Geometry problem on suspension causes excessive uneven tire wear. The driver may be unaware of this damage because the outside of all the tires appear fine. If no close inspection of the inside tread of the tire is done, dangerous conditions can be overlooked. This puts the passengers of this car and anyone around it in danger. Honda should recall and fix this problem immediately before someone dies if they haven't already

- Macon, GA, USA

Rear tires cup after only a few thousand miles. Constantly replacing rear tires. Honda recalled the '06 & '07 models for this but claimed they fixed the issue in '08. It doesn't seem to be the case.

Honda: When make tight turn, left or right would hear or feel a popping or clunking noise, after driving over bumps, coming from the front suspension.

- Memphis, TN, USA

The car was vibrating so hard that it felt like the motor was going to fall out. According to two mechanics this is very early for this type of problem in a car with less than 50000 miles. Had to replace the lower rear engine motor mounts and the front right engine mount.

- Austin, TX, USA

Whenever performing a turn there is a clicking sound made from the rear of the vehicle. Dealer unable to find anything through diagnostics. It sounds like there is a piece of metal broken somewhere that when going over a speed bump or turning it bumps or grinds against something.

- Celebration, FL, USA

Uneven tire wear on the inside tread of rear wheels. Can't see the wear since it is on the inside so the tire looks fine on the outside but is worn so bad on the inside a blowout could happen easily. Problem caused belt separation and extreme uneven wear. This is due to a defect in the suspension design. This is costing a ton of money in replacement tires and tires for this model car cost a fortune.

Rear tires wear out prematurely due to rear suspension problems (upper control arms" incorrect factory rear wheel alignment specs"). at only 80,000 miles, I am on my fifth set of new tires -- all due to "abnormal wear patterns on rear tires." A mechanic at the local Firestone store suggested that the rear wheel toe-in be set @ 0 degrees instead of the stated factory specs, but Honda has already recalled my 2006 Civic LX and fixed the rear suspension upper control arms in a recall (its rear tires have worn out prematurely, also, but this particular recall did not cover my 2008 Civic, which seems to have a worse case of the same problem). Why did the recall not cover my 2008 Civic, too?).

- Biloxi, MS, USA

The rear tires had excessive and uneven tire wear that caused premature tire change. Also it caused a vibration and loud noise level at highway speeds. The problem is the cost of tire replacement. Also the was not made aware of this problem by Honda.

- East Berkshire, VT, USA

Excessive rear wheel wear(inside on both tires) causing premature replacement and possible tire failure.

- Vail, AZ, USA

Rear tires wear prematurely and in a very odd fashion (uneven, hi-lo bands across the tread) causing a significant thumping sound and vibration. The first time I was told the rear shocks were the cause (@55-60K miles). The shocks and tires were replace and the same exact problem has occurred again! 90%+ of my driving is done on the highway and not poorly maintained back roads. It is very clear that there is an issue with the rear suspension on these vehicles that Honda needs to be forced to acknowledge and address.

The rear tire wore out fast, they were cupping and vibrating and noisy/thumping starting around 25,000 miles. At 30,000 miles I could not wait anymore. I bought 2 new tires for the back, the front tires were still ok. Then I took it to round rock Honda for alignment. Everything was good then, I had the new tires at the front. After another 20K miles, I replaced the 2 old tires with new ones. I kept balancing and rotating the tires. But at around 70K miles the rear tires started to wear out again. I rotate and balanced the tires. Now at 88K miles, the car starts to vibrate and noisy again at 65mph. The tires were supposed to be good for 60-70K, but the uneven wear showing up around 30K. I checked w/ discount tire, they claim Civic has problems w/ tire wear. So I checked on internet, found the issue about Honda Civic premature tire wear. I went to round rock Honda, but they won't replace new control rear arms and do alignment for free. I have to pay around $450. I filed this complain first. I'm planning to replace the old two tires again for now. The look for Honda to replace new control rear arms and do alignment for free. I called another Honda dealer to verify, they are claiming there is no issue w/ 2008 Civic LX sedan, which is not listed in the tsb 08-001 (2006 and 2007 only). So I guess there is not enough complains about this tire wearing fast issue yet. If Honda keeps playing dumb, my last resort would probably be selling this Civic and consider buying a Toyota instead of a Honda.
