NHTSA complaint #10350715, filed 2010-08, 54,000 miles“I bought a new 2007 Honda Civic hybrid from a certified Honda dealership. The design flaw of the rear tire arms of the vehicle caused the tire arm to rub on the tires of the car until the tires were nearly bald causing the car to shutter and the structure of the tires to weaken endangering me and my passengers. When I took the car to Honda, I was forced to replace the tires prematurely 2 times since owning the car due to the irregular wear on the tires. …”
NHTSA complaint #10354395, filed 2010-09, 33,000 miles“I was pulling into a parking space (turning right into it and parking between cars), was almost at a full stop, about to straighten the wheels and put the car in park, when the engine accelerated to full speed. It jumped the little curb at the front of the parking space and went through a shop window at an angle, wedging in the doorway. It left acceleration marks on the sidewalk after jumping the curb, and the wheels were still spinning in the doorway until I turned the car off. …”
NHTSA complaint #10317834, filed 2010-03, 11,117 miles“I was almost in a serious accident as I went to make a right hand turn, and the car only accelerated at about 1/4 of its normal pace. I had to look down to make sure my foot was on the gas. When this acceleration failure occurred, the battery showed no charge, but it had shown almost a full charge when I first started the car, just a few minutes earlier. My car now cannot hold a charge at all. I park it fully charged, and when I start, it shows fully charged. Within the first mile of driving, it drops to 1 or no bars. …”
