In owners' own words
2007 Honda Civic coupe rear tires wear out prematurely due to a geometric design flaw. The vehicle shakes and pulls due to this problem. Dealer would not provide Honda recommended repair until advised that I knew of the issue. Then they agreed to the repair under warranty but not the damaged tires. Honda has it as a service bulletin #08-001. "Not a recall" they will not do anything about the damaged tires. Suspension
