TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL CONTI PRO CONTACT TIRES, SIZE: 235/40R1996V (NA). THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL CLICKING, RUBBING NOISE COMING FROM THE TIRES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE NOISE WAS OVERBEARING AND WOULD NOT RELENT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CONCORD HONDA (1461 CONCORD AVE, CONCORD, CA 94520, (855) 679-6829), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE SERVICE ADVISER STATED THAT THE TIRE DID NOT MATCH THE WHEEL AND THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,420. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

LOW TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, HOWEVER WHEN CHECKED TIRE PRESSURES ARE FINE - THIS OCCURED OVER THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING THE CAR, FINALLY THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY RESOLVED THE ISSUE AND HAD INFLATED ALL TIRES TO 32 PSI AND RESET SENORS. HOWEVER CHECKING THE TIRE PRESSURE TODAY, (AT THE DEALERSHIP) ALL 4 TIRES WERE AT 21 PSI AND NO SENSOR LIGHT FOR LOW PRESSURE WAS ON. DURING THE FIRST THREE EPISODES OF LOW TIRE LIGHT - A FORMAL COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH HONDA, THEY ASSURED US THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED, HOWEVER APPEARS TO STILL BE AN ISSUE, DRIVING ON 4 UNDERINFLATED TIRES IS ALSO A SERIOUS RISK (WE ONLY HAD THEM CHECKED BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE IN SEASONS FOR WINTER TO SPRING). WAS TOLD BY HONDA THE SENSOR ISSUE IS "USUALLY A DRIVER ISSUE, NOT A SENSOR ISSUE".

IN 2016 HOWLING, HUMMING NOISE STARTED IN REAR WHEEL WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 40-55 MPH ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY. NOISE WOULD INCREASE WITH SPEED. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED FAULTY WHEEL BEARING AND REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY ON FEB 13, 2017 AT 22,600 MILES. AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM VACATION IN FL, THE NOISE STARTED AGAIN. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS DIAGNOSED AGAIN WITH A FAULTY WHEEL BEARING AT 26,690 MILES. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE FOR THE 2014-2015 MODEL YEARS FOR MY VEHICLE. MY WARRANTY WILL BE UP IN NOVEMBER 2017 AND I AM CONCERNED THAT I MAY CONTINUE TO HAVE RECURRING ISSUES AND EXPENSES DUE TO THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMER AND WANT TO KNOW WHAT HONDA CAN DO TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE AND MILEAGE SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE.

2015 ACCORD SPORT WITH 26K MILES, HAVE HAD MY TIRED ROTATED TWICE, BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. CUPPING OF THE TIRES MAKE FOR LOTS OF ROAD NOISE AND VIBRATION. CALLED THE TIRE COMPANY---NOT A TIRE ISSUE, IT IS A HONDA ISSUE---NOT SURE HOW THEY WILL FIX IT, BUT NEW TIRES ROTATED BASED ON HONDA'S RECOMMENDATION WILL CONTINUE CUPPING AND RUIN THE NEXT SET. GREAT COMPANY NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND STEP UP TO OFFER A FAIR SOLUTION.

08/04/2016 SIDEWALL BLOWOUT ON GOODYEAR ASSURANCE ULTRATOUR 215/55 TIRE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. NO OBSTACLES OR ROADWAY OBSTRUCTIONS HIT JUST SUDDEN FAILURE OF TIRE. 08/23/2016 SIDEWALL BLOWOUT ON SAME MAKE AND MODEL TIRE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. ALSO NO OBSTACLES OR ROADWAY OBSTRUCTIONS HIT JUST SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE TIRE. 12/23/2016 CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF TIRE. WAS DRIVING THRU AN INTERSECTION OF A CITY STREET AT APPROX. 15 - 20 MILES / HOUR FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND TIRE BLEW OUT. VEHICLE IS A BRAND NEW ONE OWNER VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 22,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF EACH FAILURE.

ON JULY 9, 2016, WE WERE TRAVELING SOUTH BOUND ON INTERSTATE I-75 RIGHT OUTSIDE OF CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE. WE HAD ONLY TRAVELED 4 OR 5 MILES WHEN WE HEARD A HORRENDOUS NOISE WHICH CAME FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. IT WAS ALL MY HUSBAND COULD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR UNTIL WE GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE. WHILE HE WAS STEERING IT OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, I SAW THE REMAINS OF THE MICHELIN PRIMACY MXV4 215/55R215 RIGHT REAR TIRE GO SAILING PAST THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. THESE TIRES HAD 12,619 MILES ON THEM WHEN THIS BLOW-OUT OCCURRED. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS ON THE ROAD. THIS TIRE SIMPLY EXPLODED!

I HAD TWO TIRES BLOW IN LESS THEN A MONTH. THEY'RE MICHELIN TIRES. WAS TOLD BY HONDA I RAN OVER SOMETHING BUT THERE WAS NO PUNCTURE AT ALL IN MY TIRE. IT WAS A PERFECT BLOW. THE LIGHT LITERALLY CAME ON A TWO SECONDS LATER WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT BLEW. I NEARLY WRECKED AND WAS KILLED. THE SECOND SECOND TIME I WAS ON THE THE ROAD MAYBE A MINUTE AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. CAME RIGHT HOME AND CALLED HONDA. I REFUSED TO DRIVE MY CAR DOWN TO THEM BC OF WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME. I KNOW THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND I WANT MY $230.00 BACK FOR THE ONE TIRE I REPLACED AND ALL NEW TIRES. THIS IS NOT A SAFE CAR RIGHT NOW. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE TOO. I HAD A HONDA BEFORE THIS CAR AND NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES LIKE I'M HAVING NOW.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2015 HONDA ACCORD TOURING FROM PAT PECK HONDA ON DEC. 1, 2015. THE CAR WHEN TEST DRIVEN VIBRATED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AS THE CAR HAD BEEN MANUFACTURED IN APRIL OF 2015, I ASSUMED THAT THE TIRES WERE A LITTLE FLAT SPOTTED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES WERE A LITTLE BIT "OUT OF BALANCE" AND THE DEALER BALANCED THE TIRES, TEST DROVE IT AND RETURNED IT TO ME AS ROADWORTHY. I TOOK THE CAR BACK 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME THE DEALER REPRESENTED TO ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS TIRE BALANCE AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THEY EVEN CLAIMED THAT THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. I AM CONVINCED THAT THAT IS A LIE. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT TIRE DEALER THIS MORNING AND HE EXAMINED THE TIRES AND SHOWED ME ON HIS BALANCE MACHINE THAT THE TIRES ARE OUT OF ROUND. I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE I DO NOT CONSIDER THESE TIRES AS ROADWORTHY AND THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING CONSTRUCTIVELY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE TIRES ARE GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX TIRES MANUFACTURED 16/2015

THE TIRES ARE ALL PERMANENTLY DAMAGED DUE TO IMPROPER TIRE WEAR. EXTREMELY LOUD ROAD NOISE REDUCED HANDLING SAFTEY AND STOPPING PROPERTIES. THE UNEVEN TIRE WEAR IS BEING CAUSED BY A MECHANICAL ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. ONE THAT HONDA HAS FAILED TO OWN UP TO. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW THE PEOPLE FROM THE TIRE SHOP SAID THAT MANY NEW HONDAS COME IN THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM

ON 6/25/2015 AT AROUND 9:15AM ON THE WAY TO TAKE MY GRANDFATHER TO A DOCTOR VISIT, AS MY MOTHER WAS EXITING GOLDENWEST ON THE 22 FREEWAY GOING WESTBOUND, EXPERIENCED AN INCIDENT WHERE THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. THERE WAS NO CONSTRUCTION ON THE ROAD WHERE SHARP OBJECTS COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS TO OCCUR. I HAVE ALSO INSPECTED THE TIRE AND FOUND THAT THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE TREAD OF THE TIRE. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A TIRE DEFECT. PHOTOS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE TIRE SUPPLIER, CONTINENTAL TIRES, AS WELL AS HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE THROUGH FACEBOOK AS I COULD NOT LOCATE THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS. WE HAVE CONTACTED AUTONATION HONDA IN COSTA MESA WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND WAS DIRECTED TO CONTACT THE TIRE SUPPLIER DIRECTLY, WHICH I BELIEVE IS QUITE RIDICULOUS THAT THEY WOULD NOT EVEN ASSIST US IN HANDLING THIS ISSUE WITH THE PRODUCT. MY MOTHER HAS NOT DRIVEN THE VEHICLE SINCE THE INCIDENT DUE TO THE LOSS OF CONFIDENCE IN THESE TIRES. SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO VISIT MY GRANDFATHER TODAY, WHO IS VERY VERY SICK WITH CANCER, BUT SHE DID NOT SINCE SHE IS AFRAID THAT ANOTHER TIRE WILL FAIL IN A SIMILAR FASHION. WE WERE LUCKY THAT IT OCCURRED NEAR WHERE SHE WAS EXITING AND ON A REAR WHEEL. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND IF IT WERE ON ONE OF THE FRONT WHEELS SHE USES TO STEER THE CAR.
