2006 Honda Civic Hybrid Wheel Alignment Issues

Re: Control Arms Replaced last week [cbr1000rr]

Written by: mgrantaz on Jul 06, 2008 10:26 PM

I guess I need control arms and new tires, too. I just returned from a 1000 mile freeway trip and my 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid with 26K miles was shaking, vibrating, and pounding sooooo hard and loud that I could not drive betwee 70-80 MPH! It was as if the wheels were all going to come off. I noticed vibration/noise at 65 MPH and it increased and peaked at 75 MPH, while ... Read More...

I think there's a reason a "lemon law" exists: Some cars ARE lemons. I think to characterize all Hondas in the way you did is to ignore thousands of satisfied customers and experienced reviewers. Here's where I'm coming from: I just had MINI buy back my 2007 MINI Cooper S after having to replace three clutches in just a bit over one year. Even though MINI newsgroups ... Read More...

Here's the US version of the rear upper control arms/abnormal rear tire wear. TSB 08-001 was issued on January 2008. Hope this helps everybody. My Honda dealer replaced the rear upper control arms, but said I am 'out of luck' on the tires even though my fronts are 5/32 and the rears are 2/32. I told them if they don't replace the tires I will never buy a Honda again and ... Read More...

Evidently no one has enough miles on their 2008 Civic to have adequate information. We bought a 2008 Civic that was manufactured in November of 2007. We had the same concerns as the previous posters expressed about whether this car might have similar problems with the control arms and tire wear Doesn't sound like most dealers would offer this kind of information ...

I am really surprised at Honda for not issuing a recall immediately to correct the problem for all owners. They did issue a recall. Either, they didn't have your current address or you haven't been checking the notices on edmunds.com. See: http://www.houstoncars.org/recall-notice-2006-2007-honda-civic-sedans.php And: http://www.edmunds.com/maintenance/recalltsb.do?step=recall&year=2007&make=Honda- ... Read More...

Honda Civic 2006-2007 Issues

Re: Civic uneven tire wear [kathyc1]

The O-ring issue is a separate recall. I got mine in the mail (and it popped up on owners link) a couple of months ago. Took it in and there was nothing to be done. The issue is that improper O-rings may have been used on some 2007's in the wheel bearing seal with the ABS speed sensor. If they leak, water can get into the bearings. When I took mine in, my dealer had already ... Read More...

Only the first page came up of the TSB and without the pictures. I got this several months ago from someone else who sent it on this site and that's when I had the car checked by the dealer. It was fine then, but I'm wondering if I should have them check it periodically when I take it in for service. Read More...

Thanks. I have high hopes, as the sales manager's daughter has the same car which he purchased for her, and replaced tires at 22k miles. He didn't realize there was a problem until my dad told him about it rather angrily (angrily because he kept getting sluffed off by the service manager). Read More...
