NHTSA Complaint #10353676 — 2007 HONDA CIVIC

HONDA CIVIC 2006-2007 HAVE A DEFECT OF THE REAR STABILIZER BAR. THIS CAUSES THE TIRES TO WEAR UNEVENLY. IT IS NOT VI SABLE UNLESS YOU ARE UNDER THE CAR. THE TIRE WEAR CAUSES THESE CARS TO BECOME UNSAFE. WHEN I DISCOVERED THIS ON A WEB-SITE I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND ASKED THEM TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT. I WAS REFUSED AND AT THAT TIME CALLED AMERICAN HONDA. THIS WAS NOTED AND REFERRED TO THEIR REVIEW BOARD. NO RESPONSE HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM HONDA ALTHOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF THE DANGEROUS NATURE OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY WERE INFORMED OF MY CONCERN REGARDING MY SAFETY AND THOSE ON THE ROAD WITH ME. THE EXTREME COST OF REPLACING THESE PARTS, A 4TH SET OF NEW TIRES AND REALIGNMENT WILL NOT BE COVERED AS THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT, AND HAVE KNOWN ABOUT. WOULD IT HAVE BEEN RECALLED WHEN THEY REALIZED THE PROBLEM THE COST WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. THANK YOU *TR
