I have owned many cars in my life, but this car has one bad problem! Tires wear and my new tires lasted only 14,000 miles. Honda knows about this problem and needs to solve it. Tomorrow I am going to the dealer to have 4 new tires and the upper rear replaced. The arms are covered under warranty. I can't believe Honda did not notify me and others when the service bulletin was issued in February of 2008! We will see what happens next!

I have had to replace four sets of rear tires on my car since I purchased it in April 2007. Honda did have a recall to "fix" the problem but it was not a "fix" which they are aware of. Honda has covered the tires with the exception of this last time. They said they would no longer cover the tires. I find it totally unacceptable that I have to pay for tires when the problem is with THEIR engineering. I have no problem replacing the front tires as they have normal wear and tear. I commute about 150 miles per day and the ride, noise level, and stability of the car is terrible once the tires start "cupping"! I am SO frustrated with the Honda corporation in NOT fixing this problem! The dealership told us that everyone is aware of the problem and that a class action law suit is going to be the only solution. Last weekend when I was at the dealership I overheard someone with a 2008 complaining about the problem. Not only is Honda not "fixing" the problem but they are continuing to manufacture the car with the same issue! I am definitely interested in pursuing a class action suit!

I bought my car from an elderly couple in Sept. It has 82,000 miles. I took it to Honda dealership and they told me that the upper control arms needed to be replaced. I looked into it after I bought the car and read about it on the internet. Being too late to be a part of the class action suit, I feel that if the original car owner knew why his tires were so bad only on the rear, and if he could hear the noise on the roads, he would have taken care of it.
I want Honda to replace their manufacture error and replace my tires and realign the rear tires. I will follow up with VIN number as I am unable to get it right now.
