#9 of 232 Re: Unual rear tire wear on the 2008- same as 06 & 07 [gemini29nc] by targettuning Mar 21, 2008 (3:58 am)
Replying to: gemini29nc (Mar 20, 2008 4:16 pm) Thanks for the information. I will have to take a closer look at the wear pattern to see if this is "normal" type wear or induced by faulty parts (the control arms). I still don't think tires on a new car should show visable wear 14K miles unless chronically under/over inflated or never rotated or you live in "the pothole capital of the world" and you hit every one. Maybe those Bridgestone's are junk...and I have read they aren't the best. Thanks again.

#10 of 232 08 civic coupe LX automatic problems? by misterchames Jan 29, 2008 (5:13 pm)
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 Replies to this message: thegraduate (Jan 31, 2008 2:54 pm) tysalpha (Mar 26, 2008 5:24 pm) Brdman20 (Jan 09, 2009 8:47 pm) jwifferdill (Jan 12, 2009 7:25 am)

Replying to: misterchames (Jan 29, 2008 5:13 pm) 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?   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) When the wipers are on intermittent mode, you will hear a faint click when they begin and end one cycle. It's a relay switch closing and opening the electrical circuit. If the click is at different times (mid-wipe), or if sounds more continuous -- like a broken switch that can't decide if it wants to be on or off -- then it could be a problem with the relay switch or the intermittent frequency dial.   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.

Replying to: gemini29nc (Mar 19, 2008 3:30 pm) The same exact thing has happened to me. I have an 08 Civic EX, 20,000K. My car makes a noise that sounds like a bad bearing, and a humming roar at higher speeds. I also noticed a bit of a jumpy loss of control in the rear when it is slick out - almost like a gust of wind blew the back of my car very hard. I was informed by dealer about the Service Bulletin on 07 and 06. Beacuse I could not prove that I had rotated the tires and "there are a lot of potholes this year" (like a pothole would make both rear tires have abnormal wear), they say it's my problem. But it is the same problem, word for word as written in the TSB. The dealer told me that mine was the first reported for the 08 model, and if there were enough then they would issue a new TSB, and POSSIBLY put new tires on. I have a bumper to bumper warranty, and I asked them if new tires on a new car should wear like this, and they said not really, but you should have brought it in here to have the tires rotated. They did do an alignment at no charge.
#14 of 232 Re: 2008 civic lx sedan-vibrations when stopped [targettuning] by momo0623 May 08, 2008 (5:07 pm)
Replying to: targettuning (Feb 20, 2008 5:31 am) I purchased a 07 civic ex coupe and had vibration so bad when on the highway and took it to the dealer and they said the tires needed to be rotated...once rotated it did the same thing...over and over. The car started doing this at 3000K miles. Also I had thumping when I turned left...and the cd player had to be replaced twice before I just gave up and purchased a 08.   On that note with the 08 civic ex-l couple I am having the same issue with the vibration in the steering wheel on the high way and the funny thing is is that my car has the same miles on it when I noticed it in the 07. I'm not sure why it does this but it is really bothering in...
#18 of 232 Copy Of Service Bulletin 08-001 by sandman46 May 14, 2008 (10:08 am)
Could someone e-mail me a copy of the Service Bulletin 08-001 about the irregular rear tire wear. Need it to bring to the dealer. Also, Honda just informed me that I need to have a safety recall done for the rear ABS wheel speed sensor. Something needs to be replaced. DAMN! Any help with getting this copy would be greatly appreciated.   The Sandman Replies to this message: rchimienti (Mar 04, 2009 6:21 pm)
