Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2006 honda civic ex had approximately 20000 miles on it as of 3/20/07. i bought it new over a year ago at about 10000 miles . i started hearing noises coming from the rear. i took it to the dealer , who informed me that the two rear tires had flat spots. they asked me if i had driven with the emergency brake on. i did not drive it with the emergency brake on. they told me they could not help me, and asked me to call bridgestone to see if it would be covered under tire warranty. bridgestone told me it was a vehicle issue, and would not help me. i then took it back to the same honda dealer 1000 miles later and paid $45 for them to tell me i needed new rear tires. that was dumb on my part considering i knew that, but i was hoping it would be a warranty issue . i asked them what i would do if the same thing happened again, he said it probably wouldn't happen again. they wanted $425 for two rear tires plus an alignment. i said no, and took it to sullivan tire, who replaced all four tires with superior good year tires for under $425. the one thing worth noting, they said the vehicle did not need an alignment, and therefore did not do one nor did they charge me for one. i asked how the rear tires became so choppy, and they said maybe it wash suspension issue or design flaw. i have no idea what was going on, but i will wait now to see if the something happened to the goodyear tires. *ak
