| Description of the problem | Both the left side oem tires on my honda crv 2007 model blew up on me while changing lanes. I did not hit anything and have been rotating them as recommended by honda (all the servicing on the vehicle were done at the honda dealership where i bough the car). Luckily, i was on a local road at 40 mph so i could keep my car under control. I have looked at the forums and have found that many other 2007 crv customers are complaining about the abnormal wear on their oem (in my case continental) tires. I took the car to a honda dealer who recommended that i should change all four tires- which cost me close to $1000. My car only had 29000 miles on it. Honda apparently blames the tire manufacturer and wants its customers to complain directly to the tire maker. This is absurd since thee are many components in the car that honda did not make on its own. Does it expect the customer to locate the maker of each component to complain when things go wrong? This is honda's problem and it should compensate its existing customers and take corrective steps for the new cars. There is the danger of people losing control of their cars if such an incident happens on a highway. |
