Premature wear and cupping of tires resulting in unstable dangerous tire performance and loud distracting noise apparently due to a manufacturing defect in upper control arm design.
Tsb 08-001 - rear negative camber is caused by the rear upper control arm for both rear wheels. As a result, the geometry of the wheel's position will cause excessive wear on the rear tires resulting in bald and cupped tires. This wear can cause early failure of the rear tires and loss of control of the car for the driver.
My 2006 Honda Civic ex is causing excessive, uneven wear to the tires because the rear control arm causes negative camber on the rear tires. As a result, I replace the tires once per year. In addition to the added cost, the car becomes unsafe after a period of driving because of the wear on the tire - creating cups and bald spots on the tire which could lead to failure of the rear tires and a loss of control for the driver.
I purchased 2006 Honda Civic ex from person from tx. And I live in la.it had brand new tires on it and 73,000 miles and was in great condition. At 75,000 miles I started hearing noise in rear end like roaring noise.each time I had it service at local Honda dealer the service advisor said tires or alignment.they knew about the class action law suit and tsb 08-001 but never informed me about it. It took me 4 years and 2 worn out $130 Michelin tires each to find the problem online and from my brother. The Honda dealer should have informed me about Honda bad design rear upper control arms earlier and I could have saved myself 2 new tires and lots of headache. But I had it fixed at local shop in bossier city alignment shop for $560. No more noise and car rides like new and tires sit straight as an arrow not cocked out like they did.

Uneven and rapidly wearing tires on the 2006 Civic. These uneven tire problems can quickly turn into braking issues and also lead to difficult to control vibrations, giving me fits when traveling at highway speeds.
The contact owns a 2006 Honda Civic. The contact stated that upon changing gears, the vehicle was shaking violently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who stated that the motor mounts and the power steering pump needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
Tire wear has been uneven in the rear tires, I had received a repair notice a couple of years ago but I was out of the country for a long time and missed out on the repair window for replacement of tires and super control arm? I think the resulting tire wear is the fault of known defective parts and Honda is acting very responsibly in not recaling for this failure/defect
I never got informed about this settlement claim settlement-claims.com/controlarm/notice.html 2 years ago. Honda service first found a problem on rear control arms and tire wear on March 12th. Why didn't they notice problem before March 12th? Honda service gave me a price of parts and labor. It's $255 on parts (control arms) and $150 labor. Updated 12/21/2015
This Civic has a defect on rear control arms causing tires to wear uneven and rapidly and making a horrible noise coming from the back this is unsafe issue I replace the rear shock absorbers, the whell hubs and ofcourse the tires and the problem still there until control arm be replaced for an adjustable one for proper aligment, ,, Honda motor company is not paying for anything, I think costumers don't have pay for Honda mistakes that's not fair.
A class action lawsuit was pursued and settled with Honda corporation in December 2013 related to uneven/excessive tire wear on 2006 Honda Civics. It was related to faulty control arms. I missed the deadline to file a claim (January 16, 2014), but I believe this is a problem that Honda should be responsible to correct. My Civic has had 3 sets of tires since I purchased it used in 2006. 2 tires were replaced at 32,261 miles, then 2 more at 39,399miles. After that 4 tires were replaced at 55,750 miles, and then 4 more at 72,450 miles. Rapid wear occurred between 39,399 - 55,750 miles, and 55,750 - 72,450 miles. I believe Honda should replace the control arm at no cost and provide reimbursement for tires that have worn too rapidly.
I bought the car used and found out there has been a settled class action law suit because the rear control arm causes excessive wear on the rear tires. I guess I am stuck having to make this repair on my own.
The Honda dealership will not replace the control arm in my 2006 Honda Civic for free even though this is a known defect in the manufacturing of the car and a class action lawsuit was recently settled regarding the issue.
?uneven or rapid tire wear" due to defective upper control arm. Currently Honda has a campaign L-82 to repair the C arm but only for the Civic 2006-2007 si or hybrid model. My Civic ex model is not covered. I told there dealer that Honda had this service bulletin viii-10-07 dated back Nov 26, 2007. This service was only covered over warranty, unfortunately I don't have extended warranty for my 2006 Civic ex. Is there anything legally that can be done, I am sure there are other Civic owners out there with the same dilemma.
Lot of vibrations. Howling noise when in reverse. I checked under the hood and found the hydraulic motor mount leaked and should be replaced. I heard there's a lot of this kind of problem in the internet. I guess you guys need to look deeper into this problem to protect us consumers.
