Eight problems related to tire have been reported for the 1997 Honda Civic. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was driving on interstate 85, and there was a large truck tire laying in the middle of a 4 lane highway, thus causing multiple accidents. My car hit the tire and almost caused a few accidents, almost causing other people as well as myself to be injured fatally. The dot should have cleaned it up, and since I do not have collision on my insurance policy they are not covering any damages. We pay taxes to the state and government to have safe motor ways, and I feel these accidents could have been prevented in advance.
While driving, pipes from catalytic converter fell off, consumer states muffler now needs replaced. Firestone tires size 14, dot number wz7jmnb466, replaced under 20000 miles.
While driving on FL I-95 near boca raton, tread on left front tire separated from tire down to the casing. Firestone refuses to reimburse for a new tire because it is not on the designated recall. When the Honda dealer service department checked the other 3 tires they were all showing signs of impending tread separation. ( dot number: 200 tire size: p185/65-r1 ).
Tread separated from body of tire( dot number: w27j tire size: p185/65r14 ).
Failed inspection @ 21,000 miles bald treads unsafe- suppose to be a 50,000 mile tire( dot number: tire size: 1856514 ).
