| Driving on city street & heard dragging noise. stopped & looked under rear of car & saw nothing unusual but did smell hot rubber smell. then i saw that the top of the wheel was badly tipped in. odviously something under there was broken. had it towed to the honda dealership, gene stevens at 1033 bright rd., findlay, ohio. if this had happened on the highway it could have been terribly serious. the person that did the towing said he had seen this often and only on hondas.*ak | |||
