The rear axle has been making a loud humming noise at speeds of (50-55 mph). Tires are very badly cupped in the rear, despite being relatively new. Cupped tires cause a dangerous situation when driving. The car seems unstable on tight turns, as well as high speeds. Tire cupping happened despite having new tires and a wheel alignment done when they were put in. This is a problem of every Honda civic 06-08 owner I have encountered, and there is plenty of evidence on online forums to confirm this information. Honda needs to issue a recall on the rear camber arms of the civic 07, as they cause dangerous premature tire wear that may cause, or in the least contribute to, injury or death.
Because of manufacturer error - the upper control arms are making the tires wear out fast and uneven. Rear tires have toe - out appearance. There was a class action suit that expired in February. Elderly couple who bought car new, did not know that there was an issue - I was told by Honda that the free repair from the class action suit was no longer available. My car kas 82000 miles on it and it should be fixed for free, because the probably started at the factory.
The contact owns a 2007 Honda Civic hybrid. The contact noticed that his rear tires were wearing faster than normal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised him that the rear upper control arm needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and offered pay for half of the repair cost. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.
