I own a 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid with approximately 58,000 miles. I replaced the first set of tires (dunlop) after @30,000 miles (for reference, the previous Honda accord I owned would typically go 50-80k before needing new tires). . . The tires on my Civic Hybrid were all worn on the inside and not easily visible (the outside tread looked fine) - I found this out during my annual car inspection in July/Aug 2008. At that time I had a four wheel alignment done and tires replaced before I could pass the inspection. Since then, I replaced one of the tires about a yr ago because the tire started to come apart at the seam and was making a loud thud noise. I have never run into this type of problem with a tire before and am greatful the tire didn't come totally apart (especially if my family was in the car). . . I was just at the local Honda dealer on 4/8/11 to have a recall issue (defective voltage regulator) dealt with when the dealership informed me that my front tires were in bad shape. He did not mention anything to me about a known suspension problem (technical service bulletin 08-001) which speaks to this issue causing the tires to wear prematurely though he did advise that the front tires be replaced and all four wheels be realigned. Interestingly, the last trip to this same dealership to remedy a faulty sensor in August 2010 there was no mention of tire issues or TSB 08-001 yet I've only put on 5,000 miles since that time and the tire issue should have been apparent at that time too. . . I only found out about Honda's TSB 08-001 after researching this issue on the web on 4/12/11. I am filing this complaint because I feel Honda should be held responsible for the cost of fixing this problem as it is a suspension design flaw, safety issue, and the consumer is unknowingly paying for replacement tires and alignments. I've tried to get Honda to pay for fixing the suspension issue (as per the service bulletin) but they are so far unwillingly to do that. This is a big problem.
