Very unusual pattern of tread breakdown on federal formoza fd1 passenger car tires noted. Note this is not the "super steel" model indicated in the database entry. The dialogue did not provide "formoza" models for selection. Tread wear indicated over 3/4 of tread life remaining (car was rarely used), but car was parked outdoors in texas, and tires were 9 years old. Breakdown of tread not likely caused by wear, but rather more likely rubber compound deterioration or manufacturing problem. The tread developed fissures laterally across the entire width of the tread (not extending into the tread shoulder), evenly spaced with a fissure every 3/8ths of an inch around the entire circumference of the tires. Depth of fissures unknown. No event in the history of the tires or car can account for this bizarre pattern. The tires were judged unsafe and replaced. Photographs were taken of the pattern of damage to the tires, as well as their identification numbers.

Yokohama avid trz 205/65r15 tires for my 2002 honda accord: I purchased a set of these tires 3 years ago as they were 80,000 mile tires (as in long-lasting). At 32,000 miles, they were almost completely bald. The mechanic called and got a $30 discount on the tires for replacement, however, considering the initial cost this is unacceptable. Yokohama should not be allowed to list tires as 80,000 miles of wear when, in fact, they are bald at 32,000 miles (and I am an older experienced driver, not a hot-rodder or excessive speeder.)

On friday 9/05/08 I got a flat tire while driving on the freeway. I had the tire fixed and two days later the same tire went flat on the freeway. I had to purchase a new tire. Then the very next day while driving to work another tire on my vehicle went flat while on the freeway causing me to swerve into the other lane and almost lose complete control. I returned to the tire repair shop where they inspected my tire valves and explained that they were leaking and replaced all 4 of them. I did not hear of the recall until after I got 3 flat tires in 4 days. I was not harmed just inconvenienced.

The trunk lid is not stable when lifted up and will fall down easily. For many times, when we are loading stuff into the trunk, the trunk lid will fall down unexpected. The action of puting a luggage or grocery bag into the trunk will shake the car a little bit, which is normal for most cars, but the unusual thing for this honda accord is that the trunk lid will fall down by this shaking. I was hit by the trunk lid several times and I would expect some serious injury could happen to someone. Another complaint about the trunk lid is the sealing. I live in southen california so rain is rare. But a heavy rain caused the trunk became a pool and the trunk mat is fully soaked. Although at that time, the car was still under the honda certified warranty, honda told me the trunk sealing is not covered. What even angered me about honda's service is they put an unmatched spare tire into my trunk. I found that out after having this car for more than 2 years and had a flat tire.

On april 6 and july 1 of this year I was traveling at 70 MPH on the interstate when a loud explosion occurred. The first time I thought I must have hit something or been near a gunshot. When the same thing happened months later the noise sounded as though it was in the cabin with me. No warning lights, difficulty in handling, or visible damage has appeared. The noise is sudden, without warning, and immense--ringing in ears an hour later--not to mention frightening. We replaced tires in june, and all regular maintenance has been done on schedule. There was a transmission problem when the car was brand new-a clunking noise-which was difficult to diagnose, and required extended days in the shop (nearly four of the first six weeks owned). It was finally eliminated when the shop "dismantled" the car, drained transmission fluid (twice) and did assorted other "fixes". I have contacted the service department concerning the explosions, but they have no suggestions. In about 3 weeks the odometer will be at the same mileage as between the previous two booms, would really like someone else to be with me if it happens again.

I purchased a honda accord new in 2002 recently I noticed that the two front tires had developed bulges (bubbles), on the surface of the sidewall measuring approximately 2 inches on the drivers side and 1 inch on the passenger's side of the vehicle. The tires have 17,000 miles of use. Out of concern for my safety, as well as that of my fellow motorists, I did some research online at http://www. Consumeraffairs.com/tires/michelin.html and found that an alarming number of motorists using this brand of tire were experiencing the same type of sidewall problem some attributing the sidewall bulging as causing catastrophic failure of their tires. In each case (as in my own) the owner of the tire is left with no recourse as to replacement or at minimum safety bulletin warning of the possibility of sidewall failures occuring with this brand of tire. The model and size information of the tire on my car is michelin mxv4 plus xse 205/60r16.
