| Wheel problems |
On Monday, April 21, I was traveling down a long hill (2 lanes up, 1 downhill) when my vehicle went into an uncontrolled, broadside skid into 2 lanes of oncoming traffic. I continued to skid back to the right side of the road, back to the left, and finally back to the right where I got it pulled onto the berm. Upon examination, my right rear tire was tilted outward at approximately 30 degrees. The wheel was totally locked up. I called a towing company as the vehicle was completely unable to be driven. A state police officer showed up, apparently called by a passerby, for traffic control and assess the safety of the situation. The car was hauled via tilt-bed truck to my local auto repair shop. One of the mechanics there told me his wife had the same vehicle, only a year older, that he been recalled due to this being and issue for 2011. I called Honda customer care and was informed that the recall was not in effect for 2012 model year. Customer care advised me to have the car taken to a Honda dealership, which was done, again via tilt-bed. Both my local shop and the dealer said the damage was irreparable. Customer care said the case would be assigned to one of their agents, but nothing has happened since April 24, the day they were initially notified.
Tires that came with the car did not even make it to 20k miles, the replacement ones had 2 flats in them. The rubber in other areas of the car is cracked, coming off, including around the doors, windows and steering wheel. Car is parked at my house and used on a 2 lane road only. I believe the rubber is defective from Honda and they will not take responsibility for it. Honda dealer states it's because of the sun and because hawaii is hot weather-give me a break-hawaii weather is mild year round.
The inside rear tires wear out in about 3000 miles (the rest of the tires are ok)you cannot see the wear unless your under the car and know they have a camber problem that they should take care of its very dangerous when wires come throughand looking mostly at good tread from outside in. They need to supply the camber control arm(adjustable fixed)these are tires in the rear of my 2012 Honda crv exl awd. Honda dealers just say they dont have a problem. The fixed will cost at least 500. 00 plus another set of tires.
Driver reported hearing loud pop from right side (assumed to be front tire blowout). She described steering locked up and was unable to turn wheel. Lost control of vehicle on a curving 2 lane road. She describes braking was ineffective, and her vehicle right front corner hit a vehicle in opposite lane, both vehicles spun 180 and crv ended up upright in a ditch off the road. Right front wheel and suspension was completely disconnected from vehicle. Rear right wheel broke from suspension. Car airbags deployed properly, and driver was just bruised and scraped up. This vehicle has had 2 issues with tpms (tire-pressure monitor system). Vehicle was returned to dealer for service after two days after purchase when tpms indicator came on 10 minutes away from dealership after purchase (service dept was closed the next day). Second time was 3 days after service, technician reported that "previous tech didn't adjust the spare tire tpms. That's what caused the errors". Months later tires appeared to be low, but tpms system didn't indicate anything, driver wondered if the service techs disabled the tpms system completely? car was at dealer Jan 12, 2013 for door lock recall. Described tpms issues to tech, nothing reported. Car was due to go back to shop a month or two after the accident for 1 year check-up. Driver states she will not buy another Honda. . This one just had too many problems from the start.
