general problems of the 2006 Honda Civic

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Civic. The contact stated that upon changing gears, the vehicle was shaking violently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who stated that the motor mounts and the power steering pump needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.

Rear of Civic "sways" when going over any highway imperfection at any speed but recovers when road smooths out.

Defects in rear suspension cause uneven tire wear. After rotating the tires, the front wheels vibration makes driving unsafe.

I was driving on 110 fwy the rear suspension bounced like no shocks on it that really scared me.

Lot of vibrations. Howling noise when in reverse. I checked under the hood and found the hydraulic motor mount leaked and should be replaced. I heard there's a lot of this kind of problem in the internet. I guess you guys need to look deeper into this problem to protect us consumers.

Daughter has been off at college, she advised the rear end was making noises. I had her go and get new tires a couple of times. She advised the rear is roaring and shaking. She came home and I drove the car. I will not let her drive this car again it is very unsafe, I could only imagine what would happen in the rain. The tires are worn uneven on the inside of the rear tires. I did research and found Honda has know about this problem and even has a fix out to the dealers, we have never been notified. I now have a daughter who is in fear for her life to drive this car. If found Honda service bulletin 08-001 addressing this issue, over veh is way out of warrety, and it says its owners expense. Cannot afford something like this she is in college.

Upon inspection, my mechanic noticed severe wear on rear tires creating a safety hazard, the tires had less than 20,000 miles, mechanic advised rear end alignment due to defective camber parts . Results of research has concluded that Honda is well aware of problem due to high number of complaints and have yet rectified this . I suggest a recall with free replacement of part(s) to correct this situation.

I have replaced 2 sets of tires over the past 2 years due to "alignment" issues, yet no mechanics have been able to see any issue. I've now been told this last set of tires is cupping and they are making huge noises while driving - I bought them in August last year. My car shakes and rattles when I drive it. I found Honda bulletin concerning this issue online - was never mailed to me - and find it ridiculous that I'd be expected to pay for manufacturing defect. This should be a recall, not a bulletin.

The rear camber arms on the car are set to very negative causing the car tires to wear rapidly and unevenly. Honda has issued a TSB, but no recall on the parts. They will not pay to fix the problem that is a design flaw in the camber arms. Tires at most will only get 40,000 miles on them and that causes undo expense to the car owner.

The rear tires wear badly to the point of the tires cupping and wearing unevenly. This process is horrible and dangerous as it will eventually shake the car and lock the seat belt while driving on the highway. A person also loses the ability to steer effectively due to the bumpiness from the tires. When I took my vehicle in to get new tires (due to problems stated above), they said that the inside of my tires were on the verge of blowing out, yet I still had tread on the outer side of my tire. Based on this, I was more at risk to have a blow-out at any time and would have had no inclination because my tires still looked new ? until my vehicle was up on a lift. Since then, I have only had my new tires for 25,000 miles (rotated every 5,000 miles) and my mechanic is now refusing to rotate them based on the uneven wear and ?dangerous driving conditions? that could result if they rotated them (their liability). The inside of the tires are already bald while there is more than half the tread of the outer side of the tire. Based on tbs 08-001 this is a known issue with the 06-07 vehicles, yet Honda has yet to recall their faulty factory parts.

I took in my car to get an oil change and the tires rotated. They told me they could not rotate the tires because there was "too much wear" and they were "worn out". I have had the tires for 30,000 miles and they have an 80,000 mile warranty.

2006 Honda Civic. Consumer writes in regards to uneven tire wear, shocks or strut issues the consumer stated the tires were replaced five times. The consumer was informed his vehicle had a defective rear camber. The dealer was only willing to pay half of the cost. Despite, the camber being defective.

I have replaced my struts, shocks, bearings, and tires. I am now replacing my shocks again 3 weeks of the first time. My 06 Civic is still shakey due to rear arm control please help, can't afford any more.

2006 Honda Civic coupe. Consumer states mechanical failure caused vehicle accident. The left front wheel broke and turned out to the left instantly.

I am the original owner of this 2006 Honda Civic, which I just put on a 3rd set of new tires before the car has reached 90,000 miles. Even with perfect alignment, they are wearing bald on the inside of the tire, therefore, a huge safety issue. The car sways in the back.

2006 Honda Civic flat spots in rear tires 3 sets of tires have been put on car . Honda is not taking responsibility for problem with rear suspension problems causing this problem.

Premature tire wear on my 2006 Honda Civic. The car is 3 years old and I am on my third set of tires. I have had alignment checks every 6 months and I have had my tires rotated every 6,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Civic. The contact stated that there was a defect with the suspension, which causes difficulty steering and prematurely wears the tires down. The dealer stated that they would not make repairs. The failure mileage was 24,000.

I have a rumble in the suspension of my car with new tires. The tires I have only have about 15,000 miles on them and Honda is saying that it's because I put cheap tires on my car. I have been to barry's Honda so many times to complain about this problem. Even when I had the original tires on the car and they didn't want to fix it or they didn't find anything wrong with it. I brought it to them at least three or four times. One time they told me it was a broken belt in my front passenger tire so that's when I replaced all four tires. The original tires only had 40,000 miles on them when I replaced them. When I had the tires replaced the store that put the tires on said that there wasn't a broken belt. I still had the rumble with brand new tires.

Rear tires had to be replaced at approximately 18,000 miles. Rear tires again replaced at 40,000 miles. Rear tires again replaced at 65,000 miles. All tires replaced at owner's expense as Honda would not acknowledge problem. Insanely loud rumbling noise coming from rear end of vehicle starting around 15,000 miles. Dealer said that's normal. Independent shop managed to get alignment within specifications although it was "very difficult" to get the alignment to meet Honda's specifications. Rear end continues to rumble and make loud noise. Honda dealers will not fix issue.

Multiple sets of tires replaced due to premature tire wear on rear tires. Honda TSB 08-001 recognizes geometry issue of negative camber on the vehicle. This is a safety concern for me as I didn't know the tires were wearing prematurely until I had the tires inspected. The handling is affected due to a roaring or thumping vibration coming from the rear of the vehicle. New tires wear in less than 10,000 miles causing undue burden on the consumers part to replace the tires in order to maintain the safety of the vehicle. Honda will not repair the vehicle as it is out of warranty and repairs must be covered by the consumer.

Honda claims that the rear upper suspension arms should be replaced, but will not cover the costs involved since I am past the date on the warranty.
