| Description of the problem | New 2009 honda cr-v, with less than 500 miles i started getting bad vibrations and car veering to the right and then to the left. Honda of ocala tried to balance and align the vehicle multiple times which did not correct the vibration. Felt like tires had a bald spot. After 3 tries, they decided to examine the tires (bridgestone / dueller ht's) and found that 2 of the tires had belts that separated. This could have caused serious injuries if i had not persisted. They replaced the tires and a rim with same tires only new ones. A week and a half later, car continues to have vibrations and they again think it is the tires. Car now has 2500 miles and is in the shop again today. Complaint has been filed with honda who just says the tires are not their responsibility. There are hundreds if not thousands of similar complaints, some with crashes and serious injuries because of these tires. Some have reported that the sidewalls explode. I do not feel safe in my new vehicle and i think honda needs to stop putting these tires on their vehicles and replace the ones out there with different one. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. |
