I have some complaints that the dealer is investigating. My main complaint is that there are thousands of complaints listed for this model and possibly this year on another website that I only found out about after recently buying my vehicle. I have posted a message there about this site so that people know about it. It is: http://forums.clubrsx.com/forumdisplay.php?f=55 also, your secure webform is broken.

Dt: while driving on interstate two right tires blew out. There was no warning, no bulge or noise from the tires. The tires were replaced with the same type of tires. Then the owner was told by dealer that there was a sticker on front of trailer which stated the trailer should have 225 tires on it and the trailer was sold with 205 tires on it. Also, dealer claimed that the sticker was wrong. The manufacturer did recognize the concern and sent the owner back to dealer. Owner did not know what to do with the trailer since the axles were bent, and were damaging the new tires. Dealer said the ply was too thin on the tires. The owner still had the old tires which only had 80 miles on them at the time of the blow out.
