2016 Honda CR-V Tires & Wheels Problems

I have been told that my front wheel hub bearings are going bad. My vehicle only has 31,000 miles on it and from what I understand, this issue should not occur until about 100,000 and is not an expensive repair. I did do some on-line researh, and Honda does seem to have an issue with this--although with a different model. I have contacted Honda and asked for some assistance--i.e., a free service at a dealer to determine exactly what the problem is, but they are not accepting any responsibility at this time. I am afraid that I will get stuck on the highway or it could cause an accident if the wheel is totally compromised.

I purchased Cooper Evolution Tour tires (DOT U92Y VN 1820, Size 225/65R17) on August 10, 2020. Since then, I've only put 16,000 miles on them. I've been consistently losing air and recently brought them into my dealer for inspection, and they located a bulge in the sidewall in all four of my tires. (I have pictures of each of the buldges as marked by the dealer.) They told me it was a manufacturer's defect and to contact Cooper Tires. Cooper Tires has a recall out for the same type of tire, only an earlier model, with the same exact defect: Recall No. 19T-024 on Cooper Evolution Tour DOT U9 40 1LT 3019. (Dated Dec. 2019.) When I contacted Cooper customer service, they said no recall for my model exists, and I'd have to get replacements under the warrantee, costing me an additional $350. If these tires have the same defect as the earlier model, they should be recalled immediately. I've been driving around on four bulging sidewalls and risking a crash as indicated by Recall No. 19T-024, all of which they recognized enough to recall their earlier model. Attached is the print out from the dealer with the estimate to replace the tires with my road hazard warrantee through them, and pictures of where they marked the sidewall bulges on each tire. (Rear passenger, front passenger, driver passenger, driver rear.)

THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED. MY DAUGHTER ALSO HAS A 2016 HONDA CRV WHICH SHE PURCHASED NEW AND JUST REPLACED THE TIRES FOR THE FIRST TIME AND HER PRESSURE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AS WELL. I SPOKE TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID THE TPMS SYSTEM IS SENSITIVE. NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND WONDERING IF YOU ARE GETTING ALOT OF COMPLAIN TS REGARDING THE TPMS SYSTEM ON HONDA VEHICLES?

SIDEWALL FAILED ON TWO SEPARATE COOPER DISCOVERER SRX TIRES WITHIN A MONTH. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS TIRE FOR THIS ISSUE BUT IN A DIFFERENT SIZE. SUSPECT PROBLEM MAY BE MORE WIDESPREAD. TIRES WERE INSTALLED ON A CERTIFIED PRE OWNED HONDA CRV PURCHASED FROM BERLIN CITY HONDA IN SOUTH PORTLAND MAINE.

THE TPMS TURNS ON ABOUT VERY THREE MONTHS. I NOTED THIS TO BE HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. I USUALLY HAVE TO STOP IN ORDER TO FIND OUT IF I HAVE A FLAT TIRE. IN ALL CASES IT WAS A FALSE ALARM THAT STAYS LIKE THAT UNTIL I TAKE IT TO BE LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER. THEY DO GET IT FIXED BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER, AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOT MUCH THEY CAN DO TO HAVE IT PERMANENTLY FIXED.

THIS VEHICLE HAS CONTINENTAL TIRES ON IT. THE FIRST SIDE WALL BLOW OUT OCCURRED AT ABOUT 16000 MILES. THIS TIRE WAS REPLACE BY ME AT MY COST. THE SECOND TIRE WAS A SIDEWALL BLOW OUT FROM THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE AT 40MPH. AFTER NOTING MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRES I REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES AT MY COST. THE TIRE INFLATION WAS CHECKED BOTH TIMES BEFORE THE BLOW OUTS AND THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS GOOD. THESE TIRES ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ELECTRONIC TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS. CHECKING THE PRESSURE MANUALLY, THE TIRES HAD PROPER PRESSURE IN THEM. DEAR WOULD NOT REPLACE THE TIRES EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE FRENCH TIRES. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE ON HONDA'S PART.

CONTINENTAL PASSENGER CAR TIRE - CROSS CONTACT LX 215/70 R16. AFTER DRIVING AT MODEST SPEEDS AND WITH NO KNOWN IMPACT THAT WOULD AFFECT THE TIRE, IMMEDIATELY AFTER PARKING VEHICLE ON GRASS AT A SLIGHT ANGLE -- DOWNHILL AND TOWARD THE PASSENGER SIDE -- THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WENT TOTALLY FLAT IN APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS, WITH AIR RUSHING THROUGH TWO PLACES IN THE SIDEWALL THAT APPEARED TO HAVE NO APPARENT TRAUMA TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIRE.

2016 HONDA CRV VEHICLE SHAKES/VIBRATES WHEN IDLE. VIBRATION IS FELT IN STEERING WHEEL, SEATS, FLOOR BOARD ON BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. IMPROVEMENT WHEN YOU MOVE THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE, BUT ANNOYING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CR-V EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL CROSSCONTACT LX TIRES, SIZE: 225/65/R17 (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND REPLACED THE TIRE WITH THE SPARE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (AMERICAS TIRES IN SIMI VALLEY, CA) WHERE THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. AFTER INVESTIGATION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO INSUFFICIENT INFLATION PRESSURE. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,200.

TPM LIGHT COMES ON AFTER TRAVELING 2 1/2 HOURS ON HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH. CHECKED TIRES AND CONSTANTLY SHOWS PRESSURE HIGH. TIRES CHECKED DAY BEFORE TRIP AT 32 PSIA WITH TPM LIGHT COMING ON DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. CHECKED TIRES AFTER TPM LIGHT COMES ON AND TIRE PRESSURE WAS 35 PSIA. HAPPENED THREE TIMES ON TRIPS OVER 21/2 HOURS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING. DEALER SAYS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. ANNOYING SINCE I WILL HAVE TO BRING A TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE AND CHECK ALL FOUR TIRES TO SEE WHEN THE TPM LIGHT COMES ON AND SEE IF WARNING IS DUE TO TIRES HEATING UP DURING LONG PERIODS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING RESULTING IN HIGHER TIRE PRESSURE. *TR

A SNOWSTORM ON DECEMBER 5, 2016 LEFT ME UNABLE TO NAVIGATE THE ROAD SAFELY BECAUSE THE ALL SEASON TIRES BOUGHT WITH THE CAR BECAME STIFF WITH COLD AND HAZARDOUS IN SNOW. BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/P SPORT AS P265/65R17 ARE CLEARLY NOT ALL SEASON TIRES AND DO NOT BELONG ON CR-VS SOLD IN COLD CLIMATE STATES. I ATTACH MY RECEIPT FOR OTHER TIRES I PURCHASED TO REPLACE THESE AND MY LETTER TO HONDA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CR-V EQUIPPED WITH BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/P (NA) TIRES, SIZE: 225/65R17 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE HAD DEFLATED. THE CONTACT INDEPENDENTLY REPLACED THE TIRE WITH THE SPARE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500.

THERE IS NOT SCIENTIFIC DATA TO SUPPORT THE NEED OF HAVING TPMS. PLUS, THE TPMS DESIGN IS BAD SINCE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERIES REQUIRE ALL TPMS UNIT TO BE CHANGED. THE BATTERY REPLACEMENT SHOULD BE DONE FROM THE OUTSIDE NOT REQUIRING TO DEFLATE THE TIRES. ALSO THE TPMS SHOULD BE EASY TO INSTALL DIRECTLY ON THE VALVE REQUIRING THE VALVE TO BE REDESIGN TO ACCOMODATE SUCH NEW TPMS.
