Car was making loud noise but I couldn't tell where it was coming from (except somewhere underneath) kind of a grinding noise. I purchased new tires about 12 months ago because the tires from the factory weren't good in snow (or so I thought). I took it to the dealer and they said I'd need controller arms and new tires because the tires were very worn. It's a 2006 Honda Civic and about 10,000 miles on those tires. The whole thing is going to cost me almost $1000. 00 but "the guy at the dealer said "well, you get a $50. 00 rebate for the tires" OH boy!! it isn't under warranty anymore either of course. I will be contacting Honda USA to talk to them but have seen from this website that it won't do any good. But I still have to try. . . I am disgusted with this as I bought a Honda because they have such glowing reliability and safety reports. I had one accident (rear ended, not with this car, also not my fault) and I do not want to have another!! I will be keeping the parts and the tires when I get it done.
