Premature wear and cupping of tires resulting in unstable dangerous tire performance and loud distracting noise apparently due to a manufacturing defect in upper control arm design.

All 4 of my michelin tires are splitting in the sidewalls (shoulder). They have not gone flat, but I am afraid to drive at high speeds. I complained to michelin and they agreed that it was a defect, but refused to do anything about it such as contact you or announce a recall. They are "defender" tires dot apwc 113x 2312. Size 205 55 16.

Took vehicle in because wheel bearings were making noise - was told it was the rear wheel bearings - there is a recall for these - they refused to replace the bearings because another shop had previously replaced the front ones - which has nothing to do with the rear bearings

I have contacted corporate honda and my local dealership trying to get information pertaining to a rear wheel bearing recall. Corporate honda's records show the recall was completed back in october of 2008 but do not have records of any parts that were replaced. All of the symptoms I am experiencing are exactly what is outlined in the recall but I am being LED in circles trying to get this resolved. It is frightening to drive and due to financial constraints I can not risk the inspection fee that I am being told I will have to pay. If no parts are on record for being replaced then this should be taken care of without question. Corporate honda nor my local dealership has shown any concern for my situation while appearing to dismiss my concerns.

We took this vehicle in when we received the recall, I believe in 2013. They stated there was no problem even though we had noise, vibration and control issues, we had to have the wheel barring replaced summer of 2017. All noise and control problems ended.

Tsb 08-001 - rear negative camber is caused by the rear upper control arm for both rear wheels. As a result, the geometry of the wheel's position will cause excessive wear on the rear tires resulting in bald and cupped tires. This wear can cause early failure of the rear tires and loss of control of the car for the driver.

My 2006 honda civic ex is causing excessive, uneven wear to the tires because the rear control arm causes negative camber on the rear tires. As a result, I replace the tires once per year. In addition to the added cost, the car becomes unsafe after a period of driving because of the wear on the tire - creating cups and bald spots on the tire which could lead to failure of the rear tires and a loss of control for the driver.

I have a 2006 honda civic. The front wheel made clicking noise for a couple of months. While I was doing the airbag inflator recall at a dealership, the mechanic there told me the driver side wheel bearing was broken, and the drive shaft and the wheel bearing need to be replaced. I am sitting in a mechanic shop to replace the driver side drive shaft and wheel bearing now ( which costs me 500 bucks), the mechanic tells me the passenger side wheel bearing is also broken. I realize the wheel bearing problem could be a manufacture defect. Indeed, there is a recall on the o-ring in 2006( not sure if my car was in the recall or not), and dozens of complaints about wheel bearing has been filed here on the federal safety agency. Hundreds of thousands of vehicles with this problem might be driving on the roads now, which might cause fatal accidents. I wish the company take its responsibility to fix this public safety issue.

In november 2016, I was informed that my tires had uneven wear and damage due to a defective rear upper control arm kit. I learned for the first time that honda issued a warranty extension for this part, but that it had expired before the honda mechanic pointed out the issue to me. I contacted american honda motor co., at the recommendation of the mechanic, to seek an extended warranty, as I do not believe that I should have to pay for a part that honda acknowledged was defective. The case number is 05759414. Unfortunately, honda declined my request. I am concerned about the dangers of driving with tires that are unevenly or prematurely worn and believe that honda should have to pay for a defective party it was aware of.

I purchased 2006 honda civic ex from person from tx. And I live in la.it had brand new tires on it and 73,000 miles and was in great condition. At 75,000 miles I started hearing noise in rear end like roaring noise.each time I had it service at local honda dealer the service advisor said tires or alignment.they knew about the class action law suit and tsb 08-001 but never informed me about it. It took me 4 years and 2 worn out $130 michelin tires each to find the problem online and from my brother. The honda dealer should have informed me about honda bad design rear upper control arms earlier and I could have saved myself 2 new tires and lots of headache. But I had it fixed at local shop in bossier city alignment shop for $560. No more noise and car rides like new and tires sit straight as an arrow not cocked out like they did.
