This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2006 Honda Civic. The contact noticed that the tires made a loud noise while driving 35 mph. The tires were rotated and replaced four times. He was informed that the lower and upper control arms were not defective, but rather positioned incorrectly. As a result, the tires became worn prematurely. The dealer will charge $450 to adjust the failure. The warranty will not cover the cost. A report was filed with the manufacturer, but they will not assist with the repair. The failure mileage was 10,000 and current mileage was 68,000.
There was noise in the backend of my car. 2006 Honda Civic come to find out that there is service bulletin on the rear control arms. The control arms that are on the car now cause the rear tires to wear unevenly or rapidly. The service bulletin number is SB08-100. This could cause a blow out to happen on the highway which at those speeds could cause injury or death. Think it is something that should be looked into.
