Car sounds like I have a flat tire when driving, but all tires are fine and filled properly. The tires are wearing unevenly as well. They've replaced the engine mount (said it was vibrating too much) and nothing changed. Aligned it and nothing changed. Now they want to replace the compliance bushings, replace all the tires, and align them again. Would love to know what these symptoms can be attributed to (and if they've just been ripping me off!)

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I checked online what the other signs of worn compliance bushings were (like a clunk when braking), but I've never had a clunk when braking.

Take it to another shop and have them spin balance the tires, before letting this place continue to sell you expensive solutions.

Maintenance & Repair
About 3 weeks ago I went to start up my 2009 Honda Civic Sedan lx and lights came on and everything but wouldn't start. On the third time trying to start it none of the lights came on, so I changed the battery. I tried starting it with the new battery, all lights came on perfectly, but it wouldn't turn over. I changed the starter and the car ran fine with no problems for maybe 2 weeks. This morning I was driving down the road when the check engine light came on and the engine suddenly started to rev up uncontrollably. I was able to brake but it was very hard to do because the engine kept revving. Without my foot on the brake the car was going 30 something mph, when I braked and got below 15 I felt a hard downshift. Has anyone had these simliar problems or know what might have cause this kind of behavior? 3 Answers
