MY CAR SUDDENLY LEAKED A LOT OF ANTIFREEZE. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED. A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MY MAKE/MODEL OF VEHICLE. WELL THIS WAS A SURPRISE TO ME. THIS HAPPENED SUDDENLY. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOT THE HIGHWAY. HONDA SAYS HAVE KNOW THE ORIGINAL ENGINE WAS FAULTY, BUT THAT I AM OUT OF LUCK REPAIR WISE. THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS AND NEVER NOTIFIED ME. (THEY CLAIM SINCE IT WAS NOT A RECALL THEY DID NOT HAVE TO) I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT HAS YET TO BE RECALLED!

HONDA HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 TO 2009 HONDA 1.8 LITER ENGINES INSTALLED IN THE CIVICS, THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKS AND WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THE REPLACEMENT. THE HONDA REP ADMITTED THAT THE BLOCK CASTINGS WERE FLAWED FOR THOSE THREE YEARS. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP EVEN WAS SURPRISED THAT HONDA DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE.

I WOULD LIKE THE RECALLS TO BE DONE OM MY CAR DUE TO SAFTEY ISSUES BECAUS3 I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS EVEN DONE AT LEAST I KNOW WITH ME IT HASN'T AND I WASN'T INFORMED AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF WHAT SHOULD OF BEEN FIXED AND HASNT

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE A COUPLE MONTHS BACK ON A LOAN AND EVENTUALLY FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MANUFACTURERS DEFECT FOR THE ENGINE BLOCK AND HELD A TEN YEAR PERIOD OF GETTING A NEW ONE AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET A ONE BECAUSE I HAVE ISSUES PERTAINING TO IT BY EVERYPLACE I GO TO EVEN HONDA SAYS I MY CAR WASN'T ON THE LIST OF RECALLS EVEN WHEN I SHOWED THEM PROOF AND NOW I'M PASSED THE DEADLINE AND STILL HAVE NO SOLUTIONS. SOON I'LL BE STUCK PAYONG A CAR LOAN FOR A CAR I CAN'T USE BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET TO HELP I NEEDED WHEN IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY HAS 156000 MILES NOW

THE PAINT BEGAN TO PEEL AWAY FROM THE CAR ABOUT 1.5 YEARS AGO. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. CAR LOOKS HORRIBLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 65 MPH, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DISPLAYED A HIGH READING AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOUSE AND THEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK HAD CRACKED AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

THE CIVIC HAS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. WITHOUT ANY WARNING IT SUDDENLY RAN HOT LAST WEEK (OF COURSE LATE AT NIGHT ON A HIGHWAY). WE HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THIS MODEL AND THAT HONDA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS, BUT WE ARE NOW 1 YEAR OUT OF THAT WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP SAID TO CONTACT HONDA OF AMERICA. HOA SAID TO CONTACT DEALERSHIP. SO WE ARE GETTING THE RUNAROUND. TWO SMALL REPAIR SHOPS AREN'T EVEN ABLE TO DO THE REPAIR. HONDA NEEDS TO HELP US GET THIS REPAIRED AT NO COST OR A VERY LOW COST.

I OWN A 2006 HONDA CIVIC WITH 99,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF MY ENGINE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. THE INSIDE OF THE CAR HAD A STRONG DISGUSTING SMELL. I GOT THE CAR CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A CRACK ON THE ENGINE BLOCK. I DID RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT. HONDA TOOK NOTICE OF THE DEFECT AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE CAR. THE DOWNFALL, HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ONLY UP TO 8 YEARS AFTER THE PURCHASE DATE. I AM A SECOND OWNER AND HAD NO IDEA THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE; HAD I KNOWN I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE CRACKED AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED AND NOW HONDA IS SAYING THAT I MUST BARE ALL COSTS EVEN THOUGH I AM A SECOND OWNER. THIS IS NOT RIGHT BECAUSE IT IS NOT MY FAULT THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED. HONDA SHOULD STILL COVER THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT IS A DEFECT ON THEIR PART.
