Bought the car 2 days ago. Did test drive it with no notable issues. I did not take it on the highway because I was not familiar with the area and the salesman insisted not to go on the highway due to road construction outside the dealership. So on the way home I did take the highway from the dealership following my husband out of the area until I got to familiar territory. Then he got behind me. Well while driving on the highway I felt the car swaying side to side having trouble staying between the lines. Didn't feel right and when I would hit a bump the back end of the car moved all over the place. Well when my husband and I got home I mentioned it to him and he said when he was behind me he noticed the right back of the car was bouncing up and down. With that said I have a 16 month old grandson that I intend to have in my car on occasion and it's scary to think that my car may not be safe for the road and/or put myself or someone else in danger. The salesman showed me the carfax report and services that were done on the car. But did not disclosed anything of what I am experiencing with the vehicle

Like many of the tire wear complaints for this vehicle, rear tires developed irregular flat spots, and rear tires were very noisy. Talked with ken in torrance, ca (american honda) but honda refused to accept any responsibility. After two sets of tires in 33,000 miles, ken agreed to pay 50% of next tire purchase. If there was nothing wrong with the vehicle, then why would ken agree to pay half of next tire purchase?

One of the control arms, I believe it is called, went bad and cracked. The front ones went bad and had to be replaced, but were under warranty. These would be the arms that connect and hold the tires/brakes but not the suspension. I may have referred to them wrong, but they went bad nonetheless.

Geometry problem on suspension causes excessive uneven tire wear. The driver may be unaware of this damage because the outside of all the tires appear fine. If no close inspection of the inside tread of the tire is done, dangerous conditions can be overlooked. This puts the passengers of this car and anyone around it in danger. Honda should recall and fix this problem immediately before someone dies if they haven't already
