Other wheel or tire problem on the 2001 Honda Civic
4 crashes 1 injury 1 death 6 of the 18 reports for this failure mention a crash, a fire, an injury or a death. Those are the owner's words on the complaint form, not a verified finding, and one report can mention more than one.
Only 6 reports for this mode came with an odometer reading, which is too few for percentiles to mean anything. The page is here because someone linked to it; treat the figures as anecdotes, and see the full report for this year instead.
When other wheel or tire problem gets reported
There are 18 reports of other wheel or tire problem on the 2001 Honda Civic, 6 with a mileage attached. That is too few to place the failure on the odometer with any confidence.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 60,000 miles. It is the 21st most-reported problem on this model year.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| — | — | 51,600 miles | — | — |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Of these reports, 4 a crash, 1 an injury and 1 a fatality are mentioned. Owners write their own complaints and the agency does not verify them, so read this as what the reports say happened rather than as a confirmed count.
Putting it right typically runs $200–$1,500 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 24 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2013, at a median of 1,100 miles, and latest on the 1999 at 155,000 miles.
By volume the 2007 carries the most reports, with 81; the 2001 has 18. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
Tl*the contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The vehicle has tech international, model tr418 valve stems. The contact stated that she had two valve stem failures on two of her tires. The first failure was noticed while driving approximately 50 MPH. She noticed that the rear driver's side tire was flat when her vehcile started to lean. Someone assisted her with placing a spare tire on the vehicle. The following day, she took the vehicle to a tire shop and they placed air in the tires and stated that she must have driven over a pothole. The contact purchased another tire at the cost of $161, but later had the tire company rectify the issue. Two days later, she heard a thumping sound while driving and pulled the vehicle over. The front passenger side tire was flat and she noticed that the valve stem appeared to be cut. She called aaa and they changed the tire. The contact asked the tire shop if they purchased their valve stems from dill and they stated that they did not. The contact called the tire manufacturer and they refuted that their valve stems were from china. The purchase date, serial number, and part number were unknown. The…
It started to rain heavily so I turned on the windshield wipers. It was raining so hard I couldn't see so I put the wipers to the fastest setting possible. The moment the wiper on the left reached the far left side of the windshield the wiper came off the windshield and banged the side of the car (the frame) and then flew into the air. The wiper comes off the windshield each time you turn them on full blast. As a result my vision is impaired and I can't see through the rain to drive. I can't see the lanes to stay in the lines or the cars in front of me. This is going to cause an accident due to the faulty wiper. I haven't replaced the wipers yet because I just bought the car a little over a week ago. Also I was in the middle of a far drive when I noticed my front driverside tire was low. I stopped at the gas station and put air in the tire. I reached my destination about midnight so I went straight to sleep when I got there. The next morning I noticed that same tire was low almost flat again. I took the tire off and checked it for holes or nails. None were visible to the eye. I had a full size spare so I put the spare on. But now…
On november 6, 2016, I replaced car tires (4 sets, 1 set) at walmart (#01004). Model: dexero 195/60r15 88h ( DOT: y9k5 cvhx 0916). Today (8-22-2018), this set of tires traveled a total of 14,220 miles. A few inches of cracks appear on the inside of the two tires on the front wheel, posing a major hazard. I went to walmart warranty claim is rejected, I had to pay another set of replacement tires. I am now complaining to you, please handle it.

How far this goes
This page is kept out of search results because 18 reports is not enough to publish percentiles from. It stays reachable because somebody looking at this exact car would rather see the reports than be told there are none.
Complaints are voluntary, so 18 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.
Questions this page answers
At what mileage does other wheel or tire problem happen on the 2001 Honda Civic?
Across 6 owner reports that included an odometer reading, half were filed by 50,000 miles. A quarter were filed before — and a quarter after —. These are the mileages owners reported when they complained, not a prediction for any individual car.
How common is other wheel or tire problem on the 2001 Honda Civic?
18 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 0.1 per 1,000 vehicles. Complaints are voluntary, so this is a floor rather than a count of affected cars.
What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
