2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR ENGINE SHUTS OFF. THERE IS STILL POWER TOO THE CAR BUT THE SPEED ODOMETER DOESN'T WORK, ALONG WITH WHATEVER IS USED TO MONITOR THE MILAGE I HAVE TRAVELED. I HAVE TO SWITCH IT TOO LOW GEAR IN ORDER TOO KEEP IT GOING OR THE CAR STOPS EVEN WHEN IM GOING 65. IT HAS HAPPENED NOW MULTIPLE TIMES AND WHEN SHIFTED INTO PARK IT WON'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK FOR SEVERAL HOURS. I HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TERMINALS TOO RESET THE CODES BECAUSE IF I DON'T ILL END UP SITTING IN MY CAR SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE I CAN START MOVING AGAIN. THE LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATE ARE THE BRAKE SYSTEM, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND IMA SYSTEM ALL AMBER. IF I DIDNT ACT AS I DID THIS TIME IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE THE FIRST TIME WHERE I ACTUALLY DID STOP ON THE FREEWAY CAUSING FOR A TRAFFIC JAM, NOT ONLY WAS THAT EMBARRASSING IT WAS ALSO SCARY BEING STUCK IN THE FURTHEREST LEFT LANE WITH NO SHOULDER ON THE LEFT SIDE TOO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY AND ALL THE CARS SPEEDING AT 65 MPH OR MORE BY ME .

THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACK IS A KNOW ISSUE THAT HONDA HAS RECOGNIZED, BUT THEY ONLY ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON. VEHICLES STILL EXPERIENCE THINS FAILURE MINE INCLUDED, BUT HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A REPAIR THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS AT FAULT FOR. I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT IN THE HOPES THAT IT WILL BRING THIS TO ATTENTION SO A RECALL/OR AN ADDITIONAL EXTENSION CAN BE PUT INTO TO PLACE TO COVER THOSE STILL BEING AFFECTED BY THIS FAULT.

TOOK VEHICLE IN BECAUSE WHEEL BEARINGS WERE MAKING NOISE - WAS TOLD IT WAS THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS - THERE IS A RECALL FOR THESE - THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE BEARINGS BECAUSE ANOTHER SHOP HAD PREVIOUSLY REPLACED THE FRONT ONES - WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REAR BEARINGS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JIM RIEHL'S FRIENDLY HONDA (18900 HALL RD, CLINTON TWP, MI 48038, (586) 412-9600) WHERE THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC'S DIAGNOSIS WAS CONFIRMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND MENTIONED A TEN YEAR ENGINE BLOCK LEAK WARRANTY. THE DEALER OFFERED THE CONTACT $2,000 TOWARDS THE REPAIR COST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. *DT*JB

THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED (ACCORDING TO DEALER) EXACTLY LIKE AS DESCRIBED IN SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048 WHICH THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR, BUT WHICH A BUNCH OF US OWNERS ARE OUTSIDE OF NOW. SO MY CAR IS GARBAGE UNLESS I SPEND 2-7K FIXING A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I STARTED OVERHEATING AS I WAS DRIVING HOME AS AND LIMPED HOME TRYING TO NOT LET THE ENGINE GET TOO HOT (DIDN'T WORK).

CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK- MY ENGINE HAS BEEN LEAKING RADIATOR FLUID AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT IT HAS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. FROM MY RESEARCH ON THE WEB, IT APPEARS THERE WAS A DESIGN/MANUFACTURING DEFECT ON THE BLOCK, CAUSING A CRACK.

CAR ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AND CASED ENGINE TO OVERHEAT LEAKED COOLANT ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND ROAD. 110K MILES ON THE CAR, ORIGINAL OWNER, ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AND CAR RARELY EVER SAW OVER 4K RPM.. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT, YET THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUED. YES, HONDA ISSUED A 10 YEAR 'EXTENSION' OF A WARRANTY AND CLAIMS TO HAVE NOTIFIED OWNERS VIA MAIL WHEN IT WAS OFFICIALLY 'ANNOUNCED' BACK IN 2014. I UNDERSTAND 'NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR' FROM AN OLDER CAR AND I WOULD EXPECT TO OWN THE COSTS FOR REPAIR... BUT AN ENGINE BLOCK CRACKING DUE TO A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT RENDERING A CAR UNUSABLE, AND HONDA EXPECTS YOU TO PAY 2600-5K TO MAKE THEIR CARS DERIVABLE AGAIN? THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT RESULTS IN ENGINE FAILURE AND OVERHEATING WHILE DRIVING (POTENTIAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE, TRAFFIC HAZARD, FIRE,ETC).

COOLANT LEAKING RESULTING FROM A CRACKED ENGINE BOX. SEE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048. DIAGNOSTIC MADE IN HONDA AUTHORIZED DEALER. HONDA ASK $6,950.00 TO REPAIR THEIR BAD MANUFACTURED ENGINE BOX.

ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY HONDA AS A RECALL WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS A LEAK YET. 10 YEAR WARRANTY ONLY FOR A LEAK DURING THAT TIME DOESN'T MAKE THINGS RIGHT. AND MOST PEOPLE NEVER GOT THE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE. PEOPLE BUY HONDA BECAUSE THEY HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE LONGEVITY OF THE MAIN COMPONENTS, LIKE THE ENGINE, OF THESE VEHICLES. WHY IS IT FAIR THAT OTHERS GOT A FREE ENGINE REPLACED BUT OURS LASTED A LITTLE LONGER, MAYBE DUE TO BETTER CARE OF THE VEHICLE, AND WE GET NOTHING FOR THE SAME DEFECT? MAKE THIS RIGHT, HONDA!

I'M COMPLETELY DEVISTATED. MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC STARTED LEAKING ANTIFREEZE. WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AN EASY REPLACEMENT FOR AN OLD PART OR SOMETHING, WRONG. OUR ENGINE CRACKED BECAUSE OF BAD CRAFSTMANSHIP. WE ARE PAST THE 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY BY 2-3 YEARS. THIS SHOULD STILL BE COVERED! I PLANNED ON OUR KIDS DRIVING THIS CAR AND KEEPING IT FOR A LONG LONG TIME! WE CAN'T AFFORD $7000 NEW ENGINE! THIS ENGINE SHOULD HAVE LASTED A LOT LONGER! I'M SO UPSET THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED STILL.
