2013 Honda Civic Tires Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK OPTIMO H426 TIRES, SIZE: P205/55R16. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE CONTACT NOTICED UNEVEN MOVEMENT IN THE TIRES. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE TIRE TREAD WAS SEPARATING IN ALL THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM ALL FOUR TIRES. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,469.

I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA CIVIC 2013 IN JULY 2014. THE CAR CAME WITH CONTINENTAL CONTIPRO CONTACT TIRES SIZE 205/55 R16 89H. FROM THE BEGINNING THE TIRES CAUSED A GREAT DEAL OF NOISE. ON SOME ROADS THE NOISE IS SO LOUD, THERE IS A POTENTIAL FAILURE TO HEAR EMERGENCY VEHICLES. IN ADDITION, WITH EVEN THE MILDEST ROAD DEFECT THERE IS RUMBLING AND OFTEN A LOUD BOOMING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO REPORT DEFECT AT 1066 MILES AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISER THAT I NEEDED FOUR NEW TIRES. MY MECHANIC ALSO ADVISED ME THESE TIRES ARE FAULTY AND DANGEROUS. I AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING, PARTICULARLY ON THE HIGHWAY. I DO BELIEVE THAT BEING A SENIOR CITIZEN HAS PLAYED A ROLE IN HONDA'S EFFORT TO IGNORE ME. THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO VENT MY CONCERNS AND ANGUISH. *TR

FIRESTONE AFFINITY TIRE FAILED DO TO MALFUNCTION IN TIRE SIDEWALL. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS CONDITION OR RESULT OF ROAD HAZARD. CRACK OR DAMAGE IN TIRE SIDEWALL RESULTED IN COMPLETE DEFLATION IN MATTER OF SECONDS. CONCERNED THAT THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE. *TR

DRIVING AT 40 MPH NO ROAD HAZARD LESS THAN 19,000 MILES ON THE CAR, THE TIRE WENT FLAT WITH A SIDE WALL CRACK! THE DEALERSHIP DECIDED IT WAS ROAD HAZARD, BUT I KNOW DIFFERENT! THE SECOND TIRE CRACKED WHILE DRIVING 35 MILES PER HOURS. FIRESTONE TIRES DON'T SEEM TO BE SAFE. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND OR PURCHASE TIRES FROM FIRESTONE OR PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR WITH FIRESTONE TIRES ON IT! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL CONTI PRO CONTACT TIRES, SIZE 205/55 R16. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER'S FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT AND SHREDDED INTO PIECES. TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGES AND DOT NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ON 01/07/2013, SINCE THE VEHICLE STARTED , IT REPORT TIRE PRESSURE. IT ASKS TO CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE.? THE TIRE PRESSURE IN THE VEHICLE WAS OK. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE AND DURING MY DRIVING CYCLE REPORTS THIS ?ISSUE ISSUE WAS REPORTED TO THE HONDA DEALER. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2013 HONDA CIVIC EX EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL CONTI PRO CONTACT TIRES SIZE 205/55R16 H . I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A TIRE LOOSING NITROGEN PRESSURE AND SETTING OFF THE TPMS. I RETURNED THE CAR TO MY HONDA DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND ANY EXPLANATION WHY THE TIRE WAS LOOSING PRESSURE. A MONTH LATER WITH ONLY 1500 MILES ON THE CAR AND TIRES, THE SAME TIRE SIDEWALL BLEW OUT WITH JUST NORMAL DRIVING. CONTINENTAL TIRE WILL NOT WARRANTY ANY SIDEWALL PROBLEM AS THEY FALSELY QUALIFY ALL SIDEWALL PROBLEMS AS ROAD HAZARD. NOW I AM CONCERNED THAT THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A TIRE OF ANY BRAND JUST BLOW OUT A SIDEWALL, LET ALONE A BRAND NEW TIRE. *TR

CONTINUATION ON FIRESTONE AFFINITY JUNK TIRES. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON THESE TIRES. PLUS, I INSPECTED THE OTHER 3 TIRES, THERE IS A HORSESHOE CRACK IN THE SIDEWALL/DRIVERS FRONT. GETTING JACKED AROUND FROM VICTORY HONDA AND FIRESTONE DEALERSHIP ON ACCOUNTABILITY ISSUES. THERE WAS NO MAGICAL ROAD HAZARD, COP OUT?!# THOUSANDS OF CARS ON THE HIGHWAY IN CALIFORNIA, MY TIRES ARE THE ONLY MAGNET FOR GLASS/SNAGS???? GARBAGE TIRES, WHAT ARE YOU CHECK COLLECTORS WAITING FOR? CRASH AND OR DEATHS. FLAGRANT RECALL ISSUE!!! *TR
