“On my 2009 Honda Civic that is only five months old right around 20,000 miles I noticed a vibration in the rear end. This vibration got worse quickly. At 20,560 I had the tires looked at and both tires have good tread left but have excessive cupping in a diagonal pattern the same as the 06/07 TSB. I took the car to the dealer I bought the car from. …”
NHTSA complaint #10295374, filed 2009-12, 20,560 miles“Back on 3/30/13, I had my vehicle in for service, and my tps light was on, as it typically came on for tire pressure. I didn't think anything of it previously, as we would always just add air as needed. However, the tire pressure was lower than usual. So we have been monitoring it more closely. I live in new england and put 4 snow tires on around november and remove them around april. I purchased the 2009 Honda Civic as a left over in jan 27, 2010. …”
NHTSA complaint #10639542, filed 2014-09, 28,391 miles“I had uneven wear on my tires and had an alignment accomplished by a certified mechanic at firestone. After several attempt to align the camber on the right back rear tire they were forced to leave it at -1.7...which is .02 out of tolerance. The camber adjustment are is in proper working order but the mechanic says this is a constant problem with 2006-2009 hondas due to the arms design. This is a serious problem that can cause steering, suspension, and tire wear issues.”
NHTSA complaint #10639547, filed 2014-09, 136,000 miles“I was driving west bound on I-84 in danbury ct, in the left hand lane. It felt as if I had hit something. The car veered into the guardrail, the left front tire was ripped off the car, I was able to maneuver the vehicle to the right hand side of the highway - break down lane. I felt heat under my seat, I immediately got out of the vehicle, with in 3 - 5 minutes the car was full engulfed in flames.”
