1 Tire problem of the 2014 Honda Civic

Failure Date: 07/06/2025

Continental p 195/65 r 15. 89 h. The tire blew and the side wall on the outside on the passenger side front. It looks shredded on the side- not a normal blown tire look. We were in the right lane on a 3 lane highway so we were able to get off as soon as it blew. Our safety was at risk because we had to change tire on the side of a busy 3 lane highway and it was late on a Sunday night so nothing was open to replace and had to drive 70 miles back home on a donut. It could've caused an accident. No known issues/warnings/messages/etc. I will never buy another continental again.

3 Tire problem of the 2023 Honda Civic

Failure Date: 03/07/2024

Tires had 17,000 miles on them and had to be “warrantied out” by the manufacturer. These tires had no grip and weren’t made for a car with sound dampening materials. I was told by the manufacturer that the reason the road noise got worse was the technologies were fighting against each other. More importantly, I experienced rapid wear. These are an 80,000 mile tire and with 17,000 miles on them I was already in the “consider replacing” time frame. Alignment was checked and good so it wasn’t due to the vehicle itself. Poor quality tire.

I was on a drawbridge and I could have driven off of it into the water below. The tread of the tire completely separated from the side walls of the tire. All that was left on the rim were the two side walls. I recovered the tread and I have the wheel with the side walls still on it. I showed it to the dealer and the service technicians had no idea about what happened. As of now the manufacturer has not been made aware. This 2016 Honda Civic was purchased from a dealer and there are still 3 of the same tire on the car. I drove the remaining distance to my destination on the rim where I put on the spare. I couldn’t change the tire where the blowout happened because I was on a bridge with very little shoulder.

24 Tire problem of the 2007 Honda Civic

Failure Date: 07/30/2012

I replaced the original tires on my 2007 Honda Civic at 49,749 miles. I thought this was a little premature, but the tread was getting thin so I went to discount tire on 12-28-2010 and had 4 new tires placed on the vehicle. After less than 19,000 miles on the new tires, the passenger-side rear tire was making a loud noise. The technician at discount tire inspected it and stated that the inside edge of the tire is cupping (or looks choppy) and this is typically due to bad suspension, wheel bearings or alignment. I took the vehicle to tom's auto repair and had it inspected for the wheel bearings and shocks and had a 4 wheel alignment done for $55. 00. They stated the wheel bears and shocks looked fine and that the alignment wasn't that bad. I then took the car back to discount tire and they agreed to replace the passenger-side rear tire for the replacement cost of $13. 25. The technician commented that the driver-side rear tire was also starting to show signs of the same wear pattern, I. E. Cupping on the inner edge. The tire which they replaced is not available as it was disposed of by discount tire. I researched on-line and found Honda had issued technical service bulletin # 08-001 back on April 11, 2008, with a revision issued on February 5, 2009. From reading numerous on-line consumer comments about this tire issue (which is directly attributable to a Honda design flaw in the vehicle suspension), I get the feeling Honda's fix will not actually fix the problem.

I have called Honda and they said since it's not a "recall" they will not replace this.

35 Tire problem of the 2007 Honda Civic

Failure Date: 07/25/2011

Approximately a week after buying lifetime alignment and 4 new bridgestone potenza tires in July 2011 at firestone, el paso, TX, my car started to vibrate in the road while driving at speeds 50mph through 60mph. After many research and diagnosis from Honda parts and service shop, different firestone locations and local mechanics, the conclusion is that the upper/rear control arms, front and rear camber arm and bolts are defective as per Honda manufacturers. My tires are excessively and unevenly wearing. I have already bought 6 sets of new tires in the last 12 months because of this Honda issue, which they admit it is a defect made by the manufacturers. They released a service bulletin (service bulletin 08-001 dated April 11, 2008) that informs Honda dealer shop of this issue/defect, but they refuse to take responsibility of repairing it free of charge. I believe that it is not fair that customers buying Hondas have to pay for defective parts made by the manufacturers. I would like these defect to be solved and paid by them and I would like refund for at least the last set of tires that I recently bought and are already unevenly worn out (this makes it a useless tire). In case it is needed I have all the paper work that can be a clear evidence to this complaint. Like me, there are other Honda owners with the same issue.
