general problems of the 2009 Honda Civic - part 2

The paint on the roof of my Honda Civic is peeling off. This first happened fairly early on after I purchased by vehicle. This is not regular oxidation, from how I see it, as I do not treat my car any different than anyone else, who are not experiencing similar issues. From what I've read, there was a paint warranty extension for dark blue 2003-2005 odyssey's back in may of 2008--this warranty should be extended to Honda Civic 2009 vehicles as well.

Affected parts on the online form does not list "tires". Like many other complaints I detected extreme uneven wear on the rear tires. When I took my vehicle to a tire center the guy said that this is a known issue with this car. He said that there is no recall and that I could go to a Honda service center and have a wedge installed that would prevent this wear. Since this is not a recall item I would have to pay out of pocket. I have not pursued this wedge but in my opinion extreme uneven wear due to a known mechanical issue is a safety problem and there should be a recall to install this wedge at no expense.

We have had to replace an incredible number of tires, including michelins, due to very irregular wear and extreme vibration, beginning with our first set of tires in 2009. The rear end has been the worst, where one wouldn't think great tire wear and flat spots etc. Would be normal -- as we are very busy people and live in a rural area, we have just put on new tires, got repeated alignments, and moved on etc. Finally, our local mechanic has finally advised us just a few days ago our problems have been due to the control arm interaction with tires issue from the factory, that have reportedly occurred with this 2009 Honda Civic model (that he would solve with new control arm ass'y and alignment for $842. 29).
