The contact owns a 2014 Honda Civic equipped with Continental Tires. Tire Line: ExtremeContact DWS06, Tire Size: 225/40R/18, and DOT Number was unavailable.

Continental P 195/65 R 15. 89 H. The tire blew and the side wall on the outside on the passenger side front. It looks shredded on the side- not a normal blown tire look. We were in the right lane on a 3 lane highway so we were able to get off as soon as it blew. Our safety was at risk because we had to change tire on the side of a busy 3 lane highway and it was late on a sunday night so nothing was open to replace and had to drive 70 miles back home on a donut. It could've caused an accident. No known issues/warnings/messages/etc. I will never buy another Continental again.
Upon starting the car, all of a sudden, the IMID display area screen went white. I turned off the car and I restarted it, and it turned white and then immediately went black. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the incident. So now I do not get alerts for an open door or tire pressure or maintenance and other notifications. This is a concern, especially when have young children in the vehicle.

Air pressure on my front passenger tire has been low since a month into the purchase of this car. The alert only went off once, but when I got the tires refilled, the tire still seemed flat. I just let it be because no further alerts came on. But I was in an accident and slipped on snow the other day and hit a curb, which deployed my airbags. I do not think that if this tire was defective I would have gotten into this accident. I was going around 10mph, as I was pulling out of a parking lot.
Beginning the day I bought the car, the check tire pressure light has come on at least 2-3 times a month. I have brought the car into a Honda dealer for service each time to check tire pressure, which has 98% of the time been fine. They have done 2 computer software upgrades, the first of which seemed to help for a few months, but then it came back on; the 2nd time it was upgraded, the light came back on the next day. I recently left the car at the dealer for 8 hours and they found nothing wrong with it, but said it was a small discrepancy in the tread of the tires - one tire had 4/32 of a tread and the others had 5/32. However, since the light has been on since the day I bought the car and the tires were then new, this is obviously not the problem. In other words, they have no explanation and no fix for the problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 Honda Civic. While driving approximately 75 MPH with bricks in the rear of the vehicle, the low tire pressure warning light illuminated. In addition, after the bricks were removed, while merging to the left at approximately 20 MPH, there was an abnormal noise coming from the wheel. The low tire pressure warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the technician informed that the tire needed air. The tire was filled with air; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 14V109000 (tires). The failure mileage was 2,500.
The tires are constantly losing air pressure. The tmps sensor goes off about once or twice a month and one of the tires will be about 5+ psi low and one or more of the others will be 1-2 psi low. It is never the same tire and every time it goes off I check all of them and re-inflate all to the correct psi. There was a recall on some 2014 Honda civics for this issue (caused by an issue with the tire attaching to the wheel), but not all of them. I think that all 2014 Honda civics need to be recalled for this issue and fixed. As mentioned in that recall announcement, the decreased tire pressure can cause increased incidents of accidents and is a safety issue.
