2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. AS I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY I HAD WHITE SMOKE COME OUT OF MY ENGINE BAY. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE TOWING. HAD IT TOWED TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER JUST TO FIND OUT THAT ITS GOT CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. AND THE SAID I AM OUT SIDE OF TIME PERIOD FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BY JUST OVER A MONTH. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE... IF THEY KNOW THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK IS FAULTY THEN HOW CAN THEY PUT A TIME LIMIT ON THE WARRANTY. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR NOT TOO LONG AGO AND NOW I HAVE TO SPEND THOUSANDS TO GET IT TO RUN AGAIN. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL PERIOD....

THE PAINT IS WEARING OFF THE ROOF AND THE TRUNK. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AND IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HONDA'S. THEY ONLY OFFERED TO PAY 15% OF A BILL OF AT LEAST $1350.

HELLO! A VERY WELL-KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 06-09 HONDA CIVIC IS A TENDENCY FOR THE ENGINE BLOCKS TO CRACK. FREQUENTING ONLINE FORUMS AND WEBSITES, IT SEEMS A WIDE RANGE OF PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED FROM LESS THAN 1,000 MILES TO UP TO 200,000 MILES. THAT BEING SAID, IT SEEMS THIS CAR IS A LITERAL TIME BOMB. THERE HAVE BEEN INCIDENTS OF PEOPLE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ONLY TO RAPIDLY LOSE POWER TO ALL SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS A PROFOUND SAFETY HAZARD, NOT ONLY TO THE DRIVER, BUT OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL! THAT BEING SAID, HONDA ADMITTED THAT THE TENDENCY FOR BLOCKS TO CRACK WAS DUE A FAULTY CASTING PROCESS. THEY HAD ISSUES AN INITIAL 8 YEAR WARRANTY AND INCREASED THAT TO 10 YEARS. AS OF LATE, MANY CURRENT OWNERS HAVE STILL HAD THEIR BLOCKS CRACKED. ONLY THIS TIME, HONDA IS REFUSING TO FIX THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT. AS SUCH, I WANTED TO BRING ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE AND HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO ALLEVIATE THIS MATTER. A CAR'S BLOCK UNDER NORMAL MAINTENANCE AND USE SHOULD NEVER CATASTROPHICALLY FAIL, LET ALONE RISK PEOPLE'S LIVES! EVEN IF A RECALL ISN'T ENFORCED, AT LEAST HOLD HONDA ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR FAULTY ENGINES AND PLACE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TAKATA RECALL *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AND ENGINE OVERHEATED, MAKING MY CAR A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD, UNSAFE AND UNDRIVABLE. I TOOK MY HONDA INTO THE DEALERSHIP & THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK AND OFFERED TO RELPLACE WITH USED ENGINE FOR $4333.00. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE I FOUND PLENTY OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE CRACK WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT FROM HONDA.

THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. WAS UPSET BECAUSE MY CAR HAD NOT BEEN SEEN THERE FOR A WHILE I CAN TAKE MY CAR WERE I WANT TO TAKE IT BUT HE WAS RULED BY WHAT HE SAID TO ME. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CAR, BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CIVIC MY 1989 CIVIC DIDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE THIS I FEEL I SHOULD GET HELP WITH SOME OF THE MONEY I HAVE ALREADY PAID OUT FOR THE REPAIRS MY CAR IS FALLING APART MONTH BY MONTH AND I NEED ANSWERS HONDA NEED TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT.

THERE IS A LEAK COMING THROUGH DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WHEN IT RAINS. NO BODY WORK OR ACCIDENTS IN THIS CAR.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS COME APART AT THE HARD-PLASTIC SEAMS AND FAIL TO RETRACT BACK INTO THE HEADLINER ONCE THEY ARE ENGAGED, LEAVING THEM BLOCKING DRIVER'S VIEW AT ALL TIMES. THEY CANNOT BE ADJUSTED TO ANY GRADUAL POSITIONING. THEY SIMPLY HANG STRAIGHT DOWN. HONDA ADMITTED THE PROBLEM AND HAS SAID THEY ONLY WARRANTED REPLACEMENT FOR 7 YEARS. WHEN CAR WAS IN WARRANTY, DEALER PROMISED HONDA WOULD REPLACE AS LONG AS THE CAR HAD THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THIS IS A SIMPLE ENGINEERING FIX THAT HONDA WILL NOT ADDRESS. IT IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE AS I CANNOT GET REPLACEMENTS (VISORS LAST, ON AVERAGE 15-18 MONTHS AND MUST BE REPLACED CONSTANTLY) AND THE VISORS NOW HANG, OBSTRUCTING MY OUTWARD VIEW TO THE SIDE AND THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD.
