NHTSA Complaint #10341887 — 2007 HONDA CIVIC

EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR AND LOUD NOISE FROM REAR OF VEHICLE. WE HAVE REPLACED TWO SETS OF TIRES, ONCE AT 11,000 MILES AND AT 36,000 MILES AND THEY ARE AGAIN WORN AT 58,461 MILES. WE LEARNED OF A SERVICE BULLETIN, SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER : 08-001 DATE OF BULLETIN : FEB 08, 2008, ISSUED BY HONDA AND AFTER MUCH COMPLAINING SINCE WE WERE A FEW HUNDRED MILES PAST THE 3 YEAR 36,000 MILE MARK THE DEALER MADE THE REPAIRS AND ALIGNED THE CAR. WE HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES REGULARLY AND THE LOUD NOISE IS BACK AS WELL AS EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. I FIND IT RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO REPLACE TIRES LIKE THIS BECAUSE THE TIRE WARRANTY IS VOID BECAUSE THE TREAD IN ONE SECTION IS BEYOND THE LIMIT FOR REPLACEMENT. THE HONDA DEALER IS CLAIMING WE HAVE NOT ROTATED THE TIRES ENOUGH/PROPERLY WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON EXCUSE FOR OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PROBLEM TO HONDA. *TR
