NHTSA Complaint #10367921 — 2007 HONDA CIVIC

SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRED, WE BEGAN TO NOTICE A LOUD HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR WHEELS WHICH STEADILY GOT WORSE. ALSO, WE EXPERIENCED EXTREME LACK OF CONTROL OVER THE CAR DURING ICY CONDITIONS. WE DISCOVERED THAT THE HUMMING SOUND WAS COMING FROM REAR TIRES THAT WERE SEVERELY CUPPED. IT WAS NECESSARY TO PURCHASE NEW BACK TIRES, GET THE FRONT AND BACK ALIGNED, AND PURCHASE AND HAVE INSTALLED, A STABILIZER BAR. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT IN THIS MODEL AND YEAR OF CAR. *TR
