Replying to: nealm (Oct 05, 2008 3:01 pm) I bought OEM brake pads off of Ebay. They are a high quality pad even though some people will disagree with me, and you are assured of having a perfect fit with all the parts. I changed my brake pads at 36,000 miles and I might have been able to get another 5-10,000 miles out of the old ones. The rotors were perfect so only the pads needed to be changed. I did it myself and the cost was under fifty dollars. |

Ok, I've got to chime-in on my problem that seems to be a repeating topic on this forum. We just returned home from a 4482 mile road trip through the southwest. Somewhere around Albuquerque (half way point) I thought I noticed some rear tire wear not seen before. When home, I took a good look, and the rear tires are trashed. Worn to the inside - bad! Is this condition similar to those that others have complained about? All in all, the Honda performed great. Even with the A/C running most of the time, it still averaged 38mpg. I drive the posted speed limit. This is a 2007 Honda Civic EX with P205/55R16 Turanza EL400 tires. Thanks, LM |

The car has about 37,000 miles on it. About 4 months ago, at start-up, and for about 15 minutes of running, the engine developed a distinctive whirring whine which increases in pitch as the car accelerates and turns corners. Then the noise disappears. I drove it over to the dealers' local place, but by the time I got there, the whine had disappeared. However, the whine persists and has gotten a bit louder. Is it likely to be coming from the transmission, and if so, what can I do to reduce or eliminate this noise? So far as I can tell, it has no effect on the car's performance.

| I just changed the oil on my 06 civic and cannot get the computer to reset the maintenance minder. I have done it many times before and it reset as it should. Now this time no matter what I do it wont reset. All I can get it to go is blink a lot and thats it. Any suggestions please. | |

Honda called and is cutting me a check for $267. for only the two tires that wore before even reaching 8k miles. Didn't think I'd get squat since I swapped them out at a local tire store and they relied on their word that the tires were indeed worn in certain places. Would've liked to have gotten the $ for all four tires but I will happily take the $. Sometimes one has to be happy with whatever comes along! The Sandman
