2007 Honda CR-V tires complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I purchased my cr-v as a certified used car with 7000 miles. The tire noise kept getting louder as the miles grew. By 18,000 miles I couldn't take it and went to the dealer. They said my tires were cupped and needed replaced. I put new tires on and had it aligned by the dealer. They could not get it in spec and replaced the rear springs. They aligned it, but I still had tire noise. Dealer said I bought cheap ($125/pc) tires . These tires are also now cupped so bad at 50,000 miles that I need to replace them, a 70k tire with only 30k on them. I also smell hot rubber on the rear passenger tire much like others have said, and only this tire. Coincidently this one is the cupped noise maker.
I have a 2007 honda crv with 19000 miles on it. I recently took it in for inspection and was told that the tires(continental 225/65 r17) were dryrotted. I am 68 years old and have never had an automobile where the tires were dryrotted. There has to be something wrong when the tires on a 3 yr. Old vehicle, purchased new from honda of turnersville, n.j., are dryrotted. I have notified turnerville honda and am awaiting a response. There was no accident. Just defective tires that can cause an accident.
I am a loyal honda owner on my third honda, a 2007 crv. The crv came with oem tires, bridgestone dueler h/t to be specific. When I bought the car I told the dealer I did not want such poorly rated tires but was told there was no option to upgrade to better tires. I put up with these bad tires for 3 years with no problems until my luck ran out this year when my area received several snow storms. My first near-miss happened in december of 2009 I got stuck on a very minor patch of snow and my car narrowly avoided sliding backwards into a creek just behind me that was about 10' deep. I should have replaced the tires right then but failed to make the connection to the bad tires and blamed it on the road conditions. The second near-miss came this week when we got a major snowstorm and my brother's house lost power and heat. The day after the storm I tried to drive to my brother's house and rescue him and his family. I got just out of my driveway onto the snow covered street and right away got stuck. I was only able to move my car back into the driveway by throwing dirt under all the tires to get traction. I pulled back into the driveway and was afraid to try again for 2 days until the snow softened up a bit. Keep in mind that my crv is all wheel drive and the tires had less than 25,000 miles on them and were not worn out. In both cases the all wheel drive was useless and in both cases lives were at risk. I paid extra to get the all wheel drive version for just such occasions and I feel let down, to say the least. Today being the first time I could get to a main road (barely) I headed to the nearest tire shop to replace the horrible bridgestone h/t's with bridgestone alenza's, their highest rated tire for my vehicle. I am now able to drive in the same snow with no problem at all. Why is honda allowed to put such poor tires on their cars, and why is bridgestone allowed to sell such poor tires?
Both the left side oem tires on my honda crv 2007 model blew up on me while changing lanes. I did not hit anything and have been rotating them as recommended by honda (all the servicing on the vehicle were done at the honda dealership where I bough the car). Luckily, I was on a local road at 40 MPH so I could keep my car under control. I have looked at the forums and have found that many other 2007 crv customers are complaining about the abnormal wear on their oem (in my case continental) tires. I took the car to a honda dealer who recommended that I should change all four tires- which cost me close to $1000. My car only had 29000 miles on it. Honda apparently blames the tire manufacturer and wants its customers to complain directly to the tire maker. This is absurd since thee are many components in the car that honda did not make on its own. Does it expect the customer to locate the maker of each component to complain when things go wrong? This is honda's problem and it should compensate its existing customers and take corrective steps for the new cars. There is the danger of people losing control of their cars if such an incident happens on a highway.
Tire pressure monitoring system has malfunctioned on and off for some 10000 miles. The warning light comes on when traveling and does not go off until tires cool down. The dealer has tried many times to find the problem but unable to correct the situation. They have failed to replace any of the sensors. Not sure if this is a computer problem that also controls other systems.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the tire pressure monitoring system light illuminates intermittently. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. There were no recalls on the vehicle. The current mileage was 3,125 and failure mileage was 1,000. Updated 11/26/07.
Tire pressure monitoring light (system fault) keeps coming on. First incident was at about 300 miles and went away after vehicle reached a stop. 2nd was at 350 miles and again went off when vehicle was stopped. 3rd was at 750 miles and stayed on for about 3 miles (vehicle did not stop). 4th was at790 miles and again went off after 3 miles. Tire pressure was checked by owner and found to be okay at the 1st and 3rd times. Vehicle was checked twice by dealer (after the 2nd and 4th incidents). The first visit the dealer reset the tire pressure. The 2nd visit 2 tires were changed out to get new sensors. The light came on after about 50 miles and now does not reset upon vehicle stoppage or after turning the vehicle on and off.
