Sway Bar Problems of Honda Civic

The front anti-sway bar on the 2007 Honda Civic ex is dangerously weak. The slightest side wind while driving on the interstate causes the front end to lift up on one side, causing the car to be unstable. Twice I had to swerve on the interstate. Both times I thought the car was going to roll down the highway. I feel very lucky to be alive. After replacing the front anti-sway bar, the rear end still had some sway, so I replaced it, too. Only eiberg makes replacements so far for 2007 & up for the Civic ex. The car is now safe to drive on the interstate and during windy conditions.

I own a 2006 Honda Civic. The winter of 2007-2008 the car would fishtail almost uncontrollably on snow and ice - not a snow or ice storm necessarily, but really whenever there was snow cover or ice on the roads. We changed tires - twice. The winter of 2008-2009, we were still having the same problem. This time, the dealership suggested an alignment. We had that done, but the tech's who did the alignment would not rotate our tires because they said our tires were bald. We discovered that the tires were not bald on the outside edge, only on the inside. We entered the winter of 2009-2010 with the same problem - took it once again to the lithia Honda dealership in ames, IA. We read internet anecdotal evidence blaming the rear sway bar. The technicians checked it and the rear shocks but didn't discover anything wrong. Lithia's service dept refused to do anything else because they could not be assured they would be reimbursed for their costs. Lithia of ames did not contact the national manufacturer, american Honda, until we asked them to. We did more research. One man in british columbia had posted about his car having the exact same problem as ours - complete with many of the same words used to describe the problem as we had used and that technicians had determined it was the control arm. The control arm is too short. We asked them to contact american Honda - the control arm has a bulletin - but only for uneven tread wear. My family and I - our friends, even - are afraid to drive in this car. We cannot take it over 35-40 miles an hour even when it's sunny outside because snow cover will cause it to have this problem. The car doesn't track straight when traversing bumpy roads. On a trip down south last winter, the car hit a small patch of ice and felt like we were going into the ditch. We are going to continue to see problems with the uneven tire wear. The american Honda representative , said, our rear alignment is the worst she's ever seen. Please help!!.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Civic. While traveling 60 mph, the contact drove over a bump and noticed that the vehicle had began to sway from left to right. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the rear sway bars were replaced. The current mileage was 80,000 and the failure mileage was 20,000.

Vehicle's steering locked up resulting in consumer hitting an embankment. The steering wheel spun to the left and locked in the left position. The vehicle did not have brakes. It felt as if the vehicle shut off. The vehicle was declared a total loss. The two front tires were bald. The sway bar was broken and could have contributed to the spin out.
