Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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“My vehicle was at my mechanics for an oil change. Part of their service is to check the tire pressure. A tire was a little low. Upon placing the air chuck on the valve stem, the valve stem exploded. Potential damage to the car and the person who would be adding air was luckily avoided. Honda had in july 09 (same month we purchased this car) issued a service bulletin concerning using only a shallow air chuck on civics as they might explode. Honda and the dealership both refused to repair at no charge. Claiming that the mechanic was at fault. …”
NHTSA complaint #10468741, filed 2012-07, 13,577 miles“This is happening right now, again.. 2012, not just in 2010 tires are abnormally wearing extremely fast. About every year someone is telling me I need new tires because they are 'chopped' and wearing really fast. This lead me to the internet to do research and found it is common with the 2006-2009 civics. Something about the control arms not working properly, in turn causing this problem and a whole lot of others like suspension. I cannot afford and shouldn't have to put new tires on my new car every year or 20000 miles. I am so frustrated and at a loss of what to do. …”
NHTSA complaint #10473254, filed 2012-09, 26,000 miles“Problem: low and flat tires. I have to put air in the tires every week usually between 5-10 pounds. I have 21,000 miles now - at 10,000 I replaced two of the michelin tires with two goodyear and still having the same problem. My dealer says they don't cover tires - but they won't entertain the theory that maybe it is the wheels.”
NHTSA complaint #10444800, filed 2012-01“The contact owns a 2009 Honda Civic. The contact was driving approximately 65 MPH and encountered a small obstacle in the road. The contact drove to the side of the road and discovered the rear driver tire was completely flat. The rim was also destroyed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer the where they stated the rim exhibited a three to four inch gash throughout. The rim was replaced. The failure mileage was 20,000.
