NHTSA Complaint #10983262 — 2006 HONDA CIVIC

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE FRONT WHEEL MADE CLICKING NOISE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. WHILE I WAS DOING THE AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL AT A DEALERSHIP, THE MECHANIC THERE TOLD ME THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING WAS BROKEN, AND THE DRIVE SHAFT AND THE WHEEL BEARING NEED TO BE REPLACED. I AM SITTING IN A MECHANIC SHOP TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE DRIVE SHAFT AND WHEEL BEARING NOW ( WHICH COSTS ME 500 BUCKS), THE MECHANIC TELLS ME THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING IS ALSO BROKEN. I REALIZE THE WHEEL BEARING PROBLEM COULD BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. INDEED, THERE IS A RECALL ON THE O-RING IN 2006( NOT SURE IF MY CAR WAS IN THE RECALL OR NOT), AND DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT WHEEL BEARING HAS BEEN FILED HERE ON NHTSA. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM MIGHT BE DRIVING ON THE ROADS NOW, WHICH MIGHT CAUSE FATAL ACCIDENTS. I WISH THE COMPANY TAKE ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE.
