Honda Motor Complaint - Hiding Rear Arm Control Problems From Public - Rear Arm Control 2006/2007 Honda Civic

Rear Arm Control 2006/2007 Honda Civic - Complaint
Review by swtxex8275 on 2011-11-10
I purchased a 2006 Honda Civic from a Honda dealer in Nov. 2006. I noticed that the rear tires wore out rather quickly but figured it was due to my long commute and the various types of roads I drove upon. It was not until a friend who had a 2007 Honda Civic, who also had the same problem and took his vehicle to Honda, that I discovered that the 2006/2007 Honda Civics had a problem with the rear arm control being out of align. Honda was aware of the problem but did nothing to alert owners unless you took your car in for service at a Honda dealer. Honda refused to repair my Civic due to excessive mileage, never mind the problem was there from day one. I like my Civic and was impressed with Honda until this incident. Now, I will never buy another Honda. Perhaps Honda just look at the former "big three (GMC, Ford Chrysler)" and see what happens when you let profits drive you and not worry about owner loyality.

There is a current class action laswuit over this matter:

My guess is Honda, even if they are feeling generous, would not cover a repair at this point at it may constitute admitting guilt.

Sorry this happened to you - something like this costs you money and violates your trust.
