TAKATA RECALL THE ENGINE (CYLINDER) BLOCK MAY LEAK ENGINE COOLANT, RESULTING IN ENGINE OVERHEATING.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE STARTED TO GET REALLY HOT I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND MY BRAKES ALL AT ONCE BECAUSE THE ENGINE OVERHEATED, I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND FILLED THE COOLANT HOWEVER THAT DID NOT WORK AND SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I WAS N THE HIGHWAY AND HAD MERE SECONDS OF LOSING POWER STEERING TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GET OUT OF THE CAR AS SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE CAR WAS BOUGHT IN 2006 AND BECAUSE OF JUST AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS ONLY 10 YEARS I NOW HAVE TO PUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO GETTING A NEW ENGINE.

2006 HONDA CIVIC CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DESIGN PROBLEM WITH DOOR FRAME THAT OBSTRUCTS VIEW OF DRIVER. *AS *JS

GOT OFF THE ROAD FROM NY TO MD LAST NIGHT AND NOTICED A BIT OF A COOLANT SMELL. NOT A BIG DEAL, BUT WAS GOING TO TAKE IT INTO JIFFY LUBE FOR AN OIL CHANGE ANYWAYS, WOULD HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT. TURNS OUT THAT IT WAS A LEAK FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. ALSO TURNS OUT THAT HONDA HAD NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH THIS ERA OF CARS AND DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL, ONLY A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048, WHEREAS OWNERS WERE COVERED WITHIN 10 YEARS OF PURCHASE, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. SINCE THE PROBLEM DID NOT MANIFEST ITSELF WITHIN THOSE 10 YEARS, I WOULD HAVE HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING TO BRING IT IN (DESPITE BEING SERVICED AT HONDA DEALERSHIPS IN THE INTERIM). THE CAR ONLY HAS 63K MILES ON IT AND IT'S PATENTLY ABSURD TO THINK THAT A DEFECT THAT THEY NOTICED HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE ON IT, PUNISHING LOW VOLUME DRIVERS--AS IN, HAD WE DRIVEN MORE FREQUENTLY, THE DEFECT WOULD'VE REVEALED ITSELF EARLIER, PERHAPS WITHIN THE WINDOW, AND PERHAPS SAVING US THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS AND URGE HONDA TO CHANGE ITS POLICY REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM WITH THIS ERA OF CIVICS.
