| 2007 | TIRES | I HAVE LESS THAN 65,000 MILES ON MY CAR. IT HAS RECEIVED REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. AFTER REPLACING THE 4 ORIGINAL MICHELIN TIRES @ 38,000 MILES I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR TIRES 3 ADDITIONAL TIMES. THE CAR HAS AN EXTREMELY LOUD "HUMMING" NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END. IT EATS UP THE REAR TIRES QUICKLY, WHICH CAUSE THE CAR TO MISHANDLE. EACH NEW SET OF REAR TIRES WEARS OUT MORE QUICKLY THAN THE PREVIOUS ONES. I JUST BOUGHT THE 4TH NEW SET OF REAR TIRES ON 12/18/2011, DROVE DOWN TO THE LOS ANGELES AREA FROM SACRAMENTO. WHEN I RETURNED, I WENT TO THE TIRE STORE WHERE I PURCHASED THE NEW TIRES, TO GAGE/CHECK OUT ANY POSSIBLE WEAR THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED ON THE TRIP. AT LESS THAN 1000 MILES (850 OF THESE BEING HIGHWAY MILES), THE NEW REAR TIRES WERE ALREADY DOWN TO 8/32. THE HUMMING NOISE IS SO LOUD YOU CAN NOT HAVE A NORMAL CONVERSATION IN THE CAR, OR HEAR A SIREN FOR THAT MATTER AND THE STEERING APPEARS TO BE/FEEL LOOSE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANY SHORT/LONG DISTANCE. *TR |
