She complained of vibrations in the gas peddle… not sure what's causing this, but I haven't tried to drive it yet to give you my own description. Anyone else have this problem? Should I call the dealer for an appointment?

 I have a 2008 Civic EX-L Coupe with 14K miles and recently noticed the outside edge of the rear tires looked too worn. A few days Iater I noticed a thumping sound coming from the back. I took the car to have the tires rotated and balanced ( I thought maybe a weight came off ) and when the tires were moved to the front I could hardly drive my car home. I took it to the dealership where I bought my car and they promptly informed me that my car was not effected by the TSB for civics. I had no idea what they were talking about, I just thought the tires were bad or that I needed a rear end alignment. Well, needless to say Honda is NOT going to replace my tires or align my car. They say that this is caused by lack of rotation or that maybe I hit a pothole!! My car is 2000 miles past the warranty for an alignment so they wanted me to pay for that too. After further investigation, the wear pattern on the tires exactly matches the pictures in their bulletin for the 2006 & 2007 Civic. I guess the replacement of the control arms DID NOT fix this issue. Hopefully if enough people report the issue they will issue a Service Bulletin for the 2008 too............

i just got a 08 civic coupe LX automatic recently and i noticed some strange things and im not sure if i should take it to the mechanic... 1. a couple times when i was steering and turning, i felt the brake pedal shake 2. i heard a weird sound from probably the right side of the dashboard.. sorta of like something loose was vibrating against something.. but i didnt notice it at the dealer cuz the radio was on 3. im sure this is normal but when you use your windshield whipers is there several click noises from the steering wheel or somehwere close to it? also, since i just got the car this weekend.. will the dealer most likely take care of everything for free?? thanks for answering my questionsss |

Replying to: misterchames (Jan 29, 2008 5:13 pm) You're right, this is.  My dad has an 07 that does this. Could the brake pedal have been the ABS system working?

Replying to: misterchames (Jan 29, 2008 5:13 pm) Regarding the brake pedal shake -- I wonder if this is your ABS activating. This is the first lightweight, small car I've driven and I notice the ABS activates much more easily than on a heavier car -- especially when breaking and leading into a turn. |
