TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN, I AM THE SOLE OWNER OF A 2007 HONDA CIVIC WITH 57,576 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A FORMAL CLAIM AGAINST AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY FOR NOT EXTENDING THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE BLOCK DUE TO AN ENGINEERING/MANUFACTURING DEFECT DURING THE PRODUCTION OF THE VEHICLE. ON 2/1/18 MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED BY A HONDA CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN, WHO DETERMINED THAT MY ENGINE BLOCK WAS LEAKING COOLANT DUE TO A CRACK BETWEEN CYLINDERS 1 & 2 ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BLOCK. THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT HONDA ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE BLOCK TO COVER THIS ISSUE BUT MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED BY 3 MONTHS AND THEREFORE HONDA WOULD NOT COVER IT. SO, I DECIDED TO FILE A FORMAL CLAIM WITH HONDA AND AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH FOR A WEEK AND A HALF THEY AGREED TO PAY 50% OF THE COST TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BLOCK, WHICH MEANT THAT I WAS RESPONSIBLE TO PAY $2,658.75 TO MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE. I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD HAVE COVERED THE ENGINE BLOCK REPLACEMENT 100% FREE OF CHARGE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. ALSO, THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, HAS LOW MILES, AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS PURCHASED AT. AS A CUSTOMER, WHO PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW, I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO INVEST MONEY ON REPLACING THE MOTOR DUE TO A DEFECT. THE CUSTOMER SHOULD ONLY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE . I HAVE ATTACHED MY REPAIR BILL WHICH LISTS THE ISSUE/FIX AND THE AMOUNT I WAS CHARGED AS PROOF. THANK YOU AND I HOPE THIS HELPS OTHERS!

KNOWN ISSUE OF CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK HAPPENING AROUND 90K-110K MILES. MINE JUST HIS 95K AND THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED. HONDA ONLY OFFERED TO FIX IT AT FULL RETAIL PRICE MINIMUM OF $4,000. THE CAR WORKED GREAT AND THEN STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY.

I'VE HAD MU CIVIC 11 YEARS AND DRIVEN THE CAR 167,000 MILES TROUBLE FREE. ON JAN 26, 2018 I DETECTED A SUDDEN COOLANT LEAK WITH ENGINE OVERHEATING AND STEAM COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS SHOCKED WHEN I WAS TOLD I HAD A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. I WAS FURTHER INFORMED HONDA HAD IDENTIFIED THE DEFECT AND EXTENDED A WARRANTY FOR IT. HOWEVER, I WAS ONE YEAR BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD. IT DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO ME. THE REPAIR COST WOULD HAVE BEEN EXCESSIVE SO I WOUND UP SELLING THE CAR FOR ITS PARTS VALUE. I'M A BIG HONDA SUPPORTER., I'VE HAD 6 OF THEM, BUT THIS LEFT A BAD TASTE. I STILL THINK HONDA SHOULD DO SOMETHING FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. I WOUND UP REPLACING IT WITH A SUBARU.

ENGINE BLOCK WARRANTY EXTENSION. I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT MY CAR STARTED TO OVERHEAT, AND THAT THE COOLANT WAS ALWAYS GONE WITH NO LEAKS. SO I BEGAN THE PROCESS OF CHANGING THE THERMOSTAT, IT ENDED UP NOT BEING THE THERMOSTAT. I CONTINUED THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO TRACK THE PROBLEM. AFTER A RADIATOR, HOSES WATER PUMP AND ALL OTHER THINGS A CAR WOULD NEED TO FUNCTION INVOLVING COOLANT WAS REPLACED I WAS LEFT CLUELESS AND STUMPED. THEREFORE, I WENT TO HONDA FORUMS AND GOOGLE, AND THAT IS WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR CIVICS BECAUSE THEY WERE DEVELOPING A PROBLEM WITH CRACKED BLOCKS. THIS EXPLAINED EVERYTHING, WENT TO FORUMS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS THE WORST AND BASICALLY TOLD MOST PEOPLE THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE DID NOT EVEN RECEIVE A NOTICE SUCH AS MYSELF. THE ENGINE BLOCKS AREA COMPLETELY WEAK AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THIS ISSUE USUALLY OCCURS AROUND 80,000-110,000 MILES. THIS WARRANTY NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THE CAR USED AS MYSELF, I RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR THE AIRBAGS AND DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE ABOUT THE MOTORS, SO I BELIEVE IT IS NOT FAIR AND THAT HONDA REALLY IS STEALING MONEY FROM PEOPLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT "INTEGRATED MOTOR ASSIST SYSTEM COMPROMISE" DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA MOTORWERKS (500 4TH ST S, LA CROSSE, WI 54601, (888) 434-6632) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN INTERNAL BATTERY FAILURE THAT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE BATTERY WAS NOT REPLACED DUE TO COST, BUT THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL ABLE TO OPERATE USING THE HYBRID SYSTEM OR FUEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT USING THE HYBRID SYSTEM WAS FINE DURING THE SUMMER, BUT DURING THE WINTER MONTHS, DUE TO COLDER TEMPERATURES AND SHORTER DAYLIGHT HOURS, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THE INTERNAL BATTERY DEGRADES OVER TIME AND FAILED TO KEEP A LONGER CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 06581479. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000.

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE WITH ONLY 99K MILES AND DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT NOW HAS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. HONDA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN #10-048 WHICH STATES THE 2007 CIVIC AND OTHER YEARS HAVE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. MY CIVIC STARTED OVER HEATING ON DEC.25TH 2017 ON THE WAY OUT TO MY FAMILIES HOUSE FOR CHRISTMAS AND I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DUE TO THE OVERHEATING AND SMOKE WE SAW COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AFTER LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD I SAW THERE WAS NO COOLANT IN THE RESERVOIR AND I COULDN'T DETECT A COOLANT LEAK. THE NEXT DAY DEC.26TH 2017 I REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT ON MY CIVIC PRESUMING THAT THE THERMOSTAT WAS STICKING AND COOLANT WAS NOT CIRCULATING. THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE CASE BECAUSE YET AGAIN THE NEXT DAY DEC.27TH 2017 IT OVERHEATED AND I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED A SEVERE COOLANT LEAK COMING FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. WHEN I GOT THE CAR HOME I DID SOME RESEARCH AND NOTICED A HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN (ABOVE) AND SAW WE WERE NOT THE ONLY ONES HAVING THIS ISSUE. WE CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY STARTED A CASE FOR US AND RECOMMENDED THAT WE TAKE IT TO OUR LOCAL HONDA TO BE INSPECTED FURTHER. WE MADE A APPOINTMENT FOR THE INSPECTION AND AFTER HONDA INSPECTED IT THEY DIAGNOSED IT WITH A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. THIS IS DO TO THEIR FAULTY DEFECTED PRODUCT. HONDA SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND FIX THE ISSUE. THIS CAR WAS METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED BY MY LOCAL HONDA AND HAS BEEN IN THE FAMILY. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS BULLETIN OR ELSE WE WOULD HAD BROUGHT OUR CIVIC IN SOONER BEFORE THERE SUPPOSED EXTRA 10 YEAR WARRANTY EXPIRED. IT SHOULDN'T MATTER HOW MANY YEARS HONDA KNOWS THIS IS A ONGOING ISSUE AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN IF IT DOESN'T GET TAKEN CARE OF THE RIGHT WAY. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I BELIEVE HONDA NEEDS TO STEP UP.

I HAVE 2007 HONDA CIVIC. I HAVE GOT ENGINE BLOCK LEAK PROBLEM. WHICH IS COSTING ME MORE THAN CAR VALUE. THIS IS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. SHOULD BE COVERED BY HONDA.

NOT SURE IF THIS IS PART OF TAKATA RECALL. WAS DRIVING ABOUT 5 MPG THROUGH A CVS PARKING LOT WHEN MY DRIVERS SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG WENT OFF IN MY FACE WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING FORCING ME TO SWERVE TO THE RIGHT AND HIT THE CURB AND POP MY TIRE AS WELL AS PULL THE FENDER LINER OFF.
