2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

THIS 2006 HONDA CIVIC HAS LESS THAN 70K MILES ON IT. ON FEBRUARY 22, 2020, MY FAMILY DROVE ABOUT 8 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED A SMELL OF ANTI-FREEZE. WHEN WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION, WE CHECKED THE ENGINE AND SAW FLUID LEAKING ON THE ENGINE BLOCK. THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH SO WE DROVE ANOTHER 8 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY TO TAKE THE CAR BACK HOME. WHEN WE PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE, COOLANT COMPLETELY EMPTIED ONTO THE GARAGE FLOOR FROM A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. WHILE WE FEEL THANKFUL WE WERE ABLE TO GET HOME SAFELY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FAILURE IN THE ENGINE HAD WE BEEN DRIVING A LONGER DISTANCE. FROM WHAT I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET, 2006 HONDA CIVICS HAVE RECOGNIZED ISSUES WITH CRACKED ENGINE BLOCKS. THE COMMON FAILURE IN THESE ENGINES SHOULD WARRANT SOME TYPE OF RECALL AS THESE CARS SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED ON THE ROADWAYS. THE FAILURE IN THE ENGINE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING AND AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THE POSSIBILITY OF THE ENGINE SEIZING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS IS INCREDIBLY HIGH AND POSES A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS, AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROADWAYS. I'M URGING NHTSA TO TAKE THE PROPER ACTIONS SO HONDA WILL REMEDY THIS SITUATION AND PREVENT POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC FAILURES RELATED TO THE FAULTY ENGINE BLOCKS IN THESE HONDA CIVICS.

WE BOUGHT A 2006 HONDA CIVIC IN 2013, ONLY TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP NOT DISCLOSE THE WARRANTY EXTENSION PUT OUT ON THE CAR IN 2010. WE WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT THAT CAR, AND BOUGHT ANOTHER. TERRIBLY DANGEROUS THE HAVE AN ENGINE BLOCK CRACK. THE BLOCK DID CRACK IN DECEMBER 2019. AMERICAN HONDA WILL DO NOTHING. PASSED THE WARRANTY EXTENSION.. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY RECALL. THE CAR WITH ONLY 129,000 IS GARBAGE AND WE ARE OUT MONEY. WE WILL NEVER BUY HONDA AGAIN. WE'VE BOUGHT AT LEAST 10 IN OUR 27 YEAR MARRIAGE. THE CRACKING COULD HAVE EXPLODED THE ENGINE!

IM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THAT ANOTHER RECALL ON A SIMILAR MODEL HAS RECIEVED THE DC-DC CONVERTER HAS A PROBLEM CHARGING THE 12V BATTERY CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE, POWER FAILURE , STEARING FAILURE AND ABS FAILURE. I AM UNABLE TO TURN ON HAZARD LIGHTS BECAUSE OF IT ALSO BATTERY WILL TAKE U JUMP BUT WILL NOT KEEP THE CHARGE IN THE BATTERY. I WAS DRIVING HOME AND ON A FLAT STREET THE CAR WAS LOSING ALL INSTREMENT LIGHTS THE POWER STEARING LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE BATTERY LIGHT THE ABS LIGHT AND THE IMS LIGHT. I HAD TO FORCE THE WHEEL TO TURN TO A SAFE LOCATION DUE TO BEING UNABLE TO TURN ON ANY WARNING LIGHTS. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING IN CITY CONDITIONS. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT MATCH THE RECALLED ONE.

I OWN A HONDA CIVIC THAT FALLS UNDER HONDA'S TSB 10-048. (2006-2009 ENGINE CRACK DUE TO A FAULTY PRODUCTION OF WEAK ENGINE BLOCKS) HONDA WILL NOT HONOR ANY SORT OF REMEDY BEYOND THEIR SECRET 10 WARRANTY FROM DATE OF PRODUCTION TO REPLACING THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A FAULTY PRODUCT! HONDA NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT AND CALL THE ISSUE WHAT IT REALLY IS, A RECALL!!
