Thanks for the info. I know there are more problems out there. I haven't gotten anywhere with my local dealer. I'm thinking I need to contact Honda of America, but I'm not optimistic. Let me know what you find out.

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.

Thanks for the update. It sounds like Honda is starting to respond. I'm sending a letter and will follow up with a phone call next week. I'll keep you posted on what happens.

Will you please post the service bulletin number. My service writer says there are no bulletins for my 2006 HCH.

Whew, I was worried that my car was the only one experiencing this problem. Thanks a lot for the information. Will the service bulletin also say for new tire to be installed?

the service bulletin has not been issued yet.i was told it would be issued in 2-3 months..i don't know if tire replacement is part of the service bulletin or just what the dealer (with Honda America support) is doing.the indication I got was that HONDA AMERICA is supporting replacing the worn rear tires....

What is the best thing for me to do to get my concerns noted by Honda? Just before I moved out of Atlanta I had the alignment checked (dealer noted it was substantially out of alignment). I'm approaching 20k and notice some edge wear on rear tires. The Atlanta Honda dealer only had a 10k rotation schedule, so the tires have only been rotated once. 20k on one set of tires does not seem nearly enough to me.

you did not say if the dealer did an alignment to your Honda.
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...

Sorry, I should have said that dealer "laser" aligned the car at a cost of approx $90; that is how they determined it was out of alignment. They gave me a copy of the printed results (which is around here somewhere...) showing me how off they were. I had asked to have it aligned because it felt a bit twitchy.
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.

My wife and I are thinking about getting an 07 or 08 HCH and of course, this issue concerns us. Does anyone have any info as to whether this issue has been resolved on these models?
 
thanks all!
