| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I took delivery of a 2006 honda civic si on 1 jan, 2006. i purchased the car with the optional 18" hfp alloys. at around 10k mi, i took the car in for its scheduled maintenance. my servicing dealer at that time rotated the tires along with the regular scheduled maint. when i picked up the car i noticed a very loud humming noise coming from the front of the car. i immediately took the car back to the dealer to have them check what the problem might be. the honda tech told me that the tires( originally on the front, now on the rear) were cupped and also said that i should take the car back to the purchasing dealer for what he said was "misaligned rear suspension". before leaving the dealer, i had the honda tech put the tires back the way they were to get rid of the humming sound. i then took the car back to the purchasing dealer and they said that there was not much they could do and put 2 new rear tires on the car and sent me on my way. now i had a car with 10k miles on the front and 0 miles on the rear. fast forward a couple thousand miles and there i was needing new tires for the front because i was never able to rotate them as advised. at now 27k the car is going on its 3rd set of tires. i still cannot rotate the tires and the rear is still toed in and honda has no "fix-action" for this. also the car cannot be aligned, hasn't since the day i drove it off the showroom floor. i love honda's but i do feel this car may be a lemon and is by far a safety hazard on wheels. i have since parked it in the garage until myself and american honda come to terms. *tr |
