2008 Honda Civic Wheels Problems

“I drove for months with an excessive vibration. ('cause I'm an idiot!) I finally took it in a couple of months ago because I had to drop to 10-20 miles below the speed limit to avoid rattling my brains out. I had to replace all four tires and get an alignment. At the time the mechanic told me I had a really odd wear pattern, he'd never seen. Today I found out about the problem report issued by Honda about this very thing.”

“Had tired rotated in may 2008 and after rotation steering started shaking from sided to side. Firestone/bridgestone dealer told me that the tires were damaged because of a camber problem in the rear of my 2008 Honda Civic. Was not told of this problem with my car when I had it to the dealer earlier that morning.”

“My 2008 Honda Civic lx started experiencing door lock problems in march of 2011 (I can provide the exact date, but will need to go through paperwork to find it.). Since that point in time, I have had over a dozen locks replaced. I have the driver's door lock replaced 3 times, the driver's side rear door replaced 4 times, the passenger side front door replaced 3 times, and the passenger side rear door replaced 4 times. This problem has continued even after the extended warranty ran out. There is some kind of electrical short causing the problem. …”

“At about 15,000 miles, we had to replace the original 2 rear tires due to uneven wear. We replaced the tires and had to replace them again at 40,000. Now, at 60,000, the rear tires are unevenly wearing again so much so that the car is nearly undrivable on the highway due to the shaking. We've had the alignment and balance checked multiple times and nothing has been off and the tires have been rotated at every other oil change.. We've tried different brands of tires and nothing seems to be helping the problem. …”

“When I purchases the car in 2008, even during the test drive, the car seemed excessively loud but the salesman stated that it was just the bad road we were on. I purchased the vehicle and the sound just got worse, to the point that I could not even hear people while using my cell phone. I had to purchase 3 sets of tires in addition to the original set. Each time, the mechanic told me the tires were to the point of being extremely dangerous. Again,the mechanic is stating that my tires are to a very dangerous point and I need new ones. This will be 5 sets of tires in 5 years.”
