Went through 3 sets of tires in 5yrs. Factory right front wheel bearings began to growl at 90k and had both sides replaced for about $600-ish. Figured if one side was going, the other wasn't too far behind. Shop gave me a 12mo/12k warranty. Well, just after 13k, the other side started to growl. So I thought that maybe the shop pulled a fast one on me never replaced the driver side like I had asked them to. When I took the car into a different shop, I had them inspect the bearings and see if they were factory or aftermarket. Seems like they were aftermarket, but installed incorrectly and was pinched, thus causing the problem. Now it has other issues......
once again....fixing a honda before 100,000 miles...more then disappointing!!! This particular vehicle only sees highway miles...pretty easy miles for a wheel bearing...not impressed w/this civc at all....never buy a civic again!!!!!!
