| Description of the problem | Excessive wearing of rear tires on honda crv. "cupping" has occurred on rear tires @ 16k miles. According to dealer, this occurs when tires aren't rotated every 3k miles. I know i requested and believed the dealer had rotated my tires @ 5k intervals, but they don't have any records of this.????? If this is the case, why aren't the other two tires "cupping"? They have 7500 miles on them since they were rotated to the rear position. The "cupped" tires were moved front to "alleviate" the condition and allow them to wear in, according to dealer. This didn't happen and the condition has worsened! They claim there isn't any defects on the vehicle to cause this condition?? I have owned and driven cars for 43 yrs. And have never experienced this condition!! I do believe there is a problem in which honda doesn't want to accept responsibility for. We had purchased a used crv in the past, for our daughter and have had to beg, plead and battle them to honor their "multi point checks & pre-certification" claims and warranty! They are running their advertising "scams" and getting away with it! |
