honda pilot EXL 2020 with 39,000 miles- purchased new in may 2020. We just had our pilot oil change and multi-point inspection along with safety recall most faker replaced. With less than 40K miles we are getting told the Front control Arm needs to be replaced. The bushing on the right front lower control arm is torn-cracking, CAUSING our tires to be worn and ALSO needing to REPLACE ALL FOUR of them! I'm not sure how a four year old car, just out of 3 year warranty by a year, is needing all this excessive amount of work. Just this last year EVERYTHING with the suspension and tires were completely normal and healthy! Within that year only putting 10k miles on it, never been off roading or drive crazy- we both have a great driving record. So, all of this is absolutely sudden and worried for our safety. The car has NEVER notified us of low tire pressure at anytime, ever. Having the Honda service center telling us the tires have "adnormal wear pattern of tires" (all of which is, inner wear). Not allowing us to get the normal tire rotation due to that and the tread depth measure was unevenly worn. Just a reminder, not one of the sensors have NEVER alerted us- other than due for oil change. We went in thinking oil change and most safety recall repair would be it. Then being told 4 tires $1,000 and front control arm replacement $561 (not including service charge) is NEEDED! Bridgestone tires P245/60/R18, is the brand we currently have and need to replace immediately. I have all receipts from previous oil changes (Honda dealership in Charleston sc- where we bought the car from) and multi-point inspections, seeing as this is sudden and very dangerous to not only us but to the cars around. Exact wording from our Honda service report- Not fixing this issue front control arm will be unable to stabilize the suspensions fore and aft movements. Not including the tires blowing out while driving.

For the past two weeks my Pilot felt like it was bouncing odd. We've only owned it for 5 months and have under 5,000 miles. While monitoring the tire pressure for two weeks, I've noticed that both driver side front and rear tires have been considerably low and we haven't added any air since. I figured it was because of heat/time of day. My last drive at 80 degrees at sunset ended with both driver side tires at 33 psi and both passenger side tires around 35-37 psi. This morning both driver side tires were at 33 psi on a cold start at about 60 degrees, once I got onto the same highway and lanes I have been driving on for the past 2 weeks, I noticed the man behind me waving his arms wildly. I checked my tire pressure on the dash and noticed the rear driver side was suddenly at 24psi, 20, 17, 10 and I pulled over to change the tire. When I went to inspect prior to removing the tire, you could audibly hear air seeping out. On visual inspection there is no nail, no puncture wound or any evidence of a chance that a puncture happened and the object sheered or came out entirely. There is no sidewall damage, no rim damage of any kind. The tire itself is a Bridgestone deuler H/P sport as. There was no debris in the road
