NHTSA complaint #10736167, filed 2015-07, 125,000 miles“All 4 rims on vehicle are leaking air pressure. Must fill tires on a daily basis. Car is still under warranty and Honda will not replace. This is a serious situation that could cause crash and fatality if tire were to blow out because of under inflation.”
NHTSA complaint #10033463, filed 2003-08, 60,000 miles“Rear bearing had been whining for almost a year, but I was blaming the tires since the possibility of bearing failure with such low mileage did not occur to me. Bearings usually last at least 100,000 miles. This could have resulted in seizure in the bearings and a resuling accident. Dt”
