Having the abnormal tire wear issue that several have experienced with this car. Have a weekday commute of about 40 miles roundtrip, and average about 17,000 miles a year that I put on the car. Have had 10 tires replaced on the car since it was purchased new in summer of 2007, and am in desperate need, from a safety stand point, to replace all four of my tires at this time (summer 2011). That will make 14 new tires that have been on this car in the four years since this car was purchased brand new. When getting my oil changed (at Firestone) in 2009, the fs manager mentioned that there was an issue with my car and the tire wear and that I should take it to the Honda dealership. Took my car in, while it was still under warranty in 2009, and was told no such problem existed. Several months later, I learned about the service bulletin, issued by Honda, regarding this problem. I took my car in to Honda in summer of 2010 and they supposedly fixed it. I am still having abnormal wear on my tires. This abnormal wear issue can lead to catastrophic tire blowout. The vehicle is unfit and unsafe to drive at this point. Honda has not been helpful at all in dealing with this issue. When I took the car in in 2009, while it was still under warranty, Honda refused to acknowledge the problem. When I took the car back in 2010, they acknowledged the bulletin but said my car was now out of warranty. They refused to honor their warranty and made me pay for the "fix". the fix was nonexistent and now I'm left with a car that I am terrified to drive for fear of a tire blowing out and me crashing, at a high speed, into a concrete barrier or another car.
