i have had similar rear tire problems.at 14,500 miles rear tires cupping,dealer replaced right rear knuckle,and rear tires. ran vibration clean for 3-4k miles.rear vibration started again at higher (80) speeds then gradually moved down to lower speeds (50).at first dealer said nothing wrong,could not feel it...at 28k miles while on a long trip decided to recheck wheel balance and found l rear worn on inside down to belt in a large spot.both rear showed lots of uneven wear.i replaced rear tires,at 30k miles dealer rechecked alignment.found it out a little.at 33k miles vibration is starting up again.i am due to see HONDA REP this week will post any results.

so Honda rep looked at car/tires and concurs there is a problem....good news is there is a fix (service bulletin) that will replace rear upper A arms.it appears that early models were fitted with A arms that would not adjust completely for toe in.....bad news is fix will not be ready for another 2-3 months (dec- jan)..the rep was bending over so i would not file a lemon law.i am getting reimbursed for two tires i bought,they installed 2 new rear tires now,and will replace all4 tires when the service bulletin is performed....and i get to keep the 2 tires i bought. so Honda knows there is a problem and as soon as they have enough parts for the fix they will repair the problem. i don't think there will be a recall,just fixing the cars brought in.

Replying to: dwadlington (Oct 14, 2007 4:23 pm) i would go to your nearest Honda dealer and tell them what is going on.the dealer should realign all four wheels at no cost to you,and replace the rear tires.this is at the very least. print out some of these letters to show your dealer,so they know what is happening elsewhere.keep reporting the trouble,especially any vibration you may be feeling...

Replying to: paisan1 (Oct 15, 2007 8:42 am) Lately I have noticed the front left tire squealing a bit on slow, left hand turns, which is what got me concerned about the tires issue again. Car just got recalled and is approaching the 20k service; I will bring all this up when I take it in. Thanks for the info. Derek |
