NHTSA Complaint #10448506 — 2008 HONDA CIVIC

AT ABOUT 15,000 MILES, WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL 2 REAR TIRES DUE TO UNEVEN WEAR. WE REPLACED THE TIRES AND HAD TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN AT 40,000. NOW, AT 60,000, THE REAR TIRES ARE UNEVENLY WEARING AGAIN SO MUCH SO THAT THE CAR IS NEARLY UNDRIVABLE ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE SHAKING. WE'VE HAD THE ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES AND NOTHING HAS BEEN OFF AND THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED AT EVERY OTHER OIL CHANGE.. WE'VE TRIED DIFFERENT BRANDS OF TIRES AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE HELPING THE PROBLEM. EVERY TIME WE'VE CONTACTED HONDA, THEY'VE INSISTED THE TIRES HAVEN'T BEEN BALANCED CORRECTLY (EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DONE AT THEIR DEALER) OR THAT WE'VE GONE 500 MILES TOO FAR PAST GETTING THEM ROTATED AND THUS WON'T REPLACE THEM. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE'LL BE BUYING A TOYOTA OR FORD NEXT TIME. *TR
