NHTSA Complaint #10229236 — 2006 HONDA CIVIC

I HEARD A LOUD HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE TIRES ON THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE REAR HUB AND THE NOISE STOPPED FOR ABOUT 8-10 THOUSAND MILES. I LATER FOUND THAT THEY HAD ISSUED A RECALL. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK AND THIS TIME THEY HAD TO REPLACED THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS. HONDA ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM AND I AM READING MANY COMPLAINTS ON EDMUND'S INTERNET SIGHT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ON THE 2006-2007 CIVICS. THE PROBLEM WITH THE SUSPENSION RUINED THE TIRES ON THE CAR AND CAUSED AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THE DEALER DID CHANGE THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS BUT THE CAR CONTINUES TO MAKE NOISE IN THE REAR. THE DEALER TELLS ME ITS THE TIRES AND THE CUPPING IN THE TIRES IS THE FAULT OF THE TIRE, NOT THE CAR WHICH IT NOT TRUE. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE TIRES BUT ADMITTED THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS ON THEIR CARS. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED WHEN A TIRE BLOWS OUT TO NOTIFY PEOPLE OF THE PROBLEM? *TR
