2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

ENGINE BLOCK CRACK. HONDA MADE A DEFECTIVE ENGINE BLOCK AND LEAKS COOLANT. THEY KNEW ABOUT PROBLEM AND ONLY OFFERED A 10 YEAR WARRANTY, LEAVING THE REST OF CUSTOMERS OUT.

ENGINE BLOCK CRACK! I AM THE OWNER OF A 2006 HONDA CIVIC LX COUPE AND MY ENGINE BLOCK HAS JUST BEEN DIAGNOSED BY A LOCAL HONDA DEALER SINCE WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A RADIATOR LEAK TURNED INTO MY WORST NIGHTMARE. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY ENGINE BLOCK HAD A CRACK IN IT THUS NOT BEING ABLE TO RETAIN RADIATOR FLUID. HE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY ROUGHLY $4500US FOR THE REPAIR OF MY ENGINE. MY LOCAL DEALER ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEIR WAS AN UNPUBLISHED RECALL ON THESE ENGINES BUT THAT I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY.. I HAD NO IDEA THEIR WAS AN UNPUBLISHED RECALL ON 2006 TO 2011 HONDA VEHICLES. WELL APPARENTLY MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 3 YEARS. MY DISPUTE IS THAT HONDA FAILED TO LET IT'S CUSTOMERS KNOW THAT THEY INDEED FOUND ISSUES WITH THESE (06-11) ENGINES. I WOULD LIKE TO START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA TO HAVE THESE ENGINE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. I ONLY HAVE 106000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I ONLY DROVE ROUGHLY 7 TO 8 THOUSAND MILE PER YEAR. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THESE ENGINES FAIL AT ABOUT 90000 TO 110000 MILES. WHERE WAS MY RECALL LETTER. EVEN AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE OR REPAIR AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER THEY FAILED TO ADVISE ME OF THIS ISSUE (RECALL). PLEASE HELP ANYONE.

MY AXLE BROKE IN HALF BASICALLY, AND MY MECHANIC SAID HE'S ONLY SEEN THAT ONE OTHER TIME AND IT WAS ALSO IN A HONDA CIVIC. ALSO, TWO OTHER PEOPLE WHO WORK ON CARS SAID THEY'VE NEVER SEEN THIS, THAT IT USUALLY FAILS AT THE CV JOINT AND SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE THERE WAS A DEFECT. I WAS GOING FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND (MANUAL TRANSMISSION), AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULDN'T GO, AND THERE WAS A CLUNKING NOISE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC'S WHICH COST ME $167, AND THE REPAIR IS GOING TO BE APPROXIMATELY $200. I DO NOT HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF EITHER RIGHT NOW AS IT IS IN THE SHOP AS I WRITE THIS WAITING FOR THE PART. I JUST FELT THAT SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE OUT OF THE ORDINARY IN TERMS OF HOW THIS FAILURE USUALLY OCCURS, I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V268000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. CHARLIES MOTOR MALL (465 WESTERN AVE, AUGUSTA, ME 04330, (207) 622-7327) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE SPUTTERED THEN LOST ALL POWER. IT WAS TOWED TO THE SHOP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND THE COST OF REPAIRS WILL EXCEED THE VEHICLE'S WORTH.

MARCH 21, 2019 FOUND COOLANT LEAK ON DRIVEWAY COMING FROM 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE VEHICLE HAS CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK & LEAKING COOLANT. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 54,000 MILES, WELL KEPT AND MAINTAINED. DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED IN 2013 & AGAIN IN 2015 FOR THIS PROBLEM. WARRANTY IS FOR 10 YEARS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE. NO SUCH WARRANTY OR NOTICE MADE IT TO OWNERS ADDRESS. NO NEWS ARTICLES WERE MADE PUBLIC ABOUT THIS ISSUE. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA TO REQUEST ASSISTANCE DUE TO OUT OF WARRANTY OF THE VEHICLE. HONDA AMERICA ONLY OFFERED A DEDUCTIBLE TO REPAIR ENGINE AT $2,700.00. OWNER IS STILL APPEALING THIS AS THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT HONDA SHOULD OWN UP TO AT A 100%.

MY CAR STARTED TO OVERHEAT ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK. TOOK IT TO A SHOP, THEY TOLD THAT MY ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED BUT IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT FROM HONDA. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY EXT PASSED AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY CAR CURRENTLY ONLY HAS ABOUT 73,500 MILES AND NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY 2500-5000 FOR FIX A PROBLEM THAT WAS FROM MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND A PROBLEM HONDA NEEDS TO FIX.

I HAVE HAD MY PASSAGES AIRBAG RECALLED TWICE AND EVER SINCE THE LAST TIME - THE AIRBAGS LIGHT GOES ON ALL THE TIME AND HONDA 1) CHARGES ME - 2 TIMES TO EVEN LOOK AT IT SINCE IT WASN'T A RECALL AND 2) WANT ME TO PAY TO FIX IT. IT A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY CAUSE IT BY RECALLING IT TWICE AND WREAKING THE CONNECTION AND SAYS IT'S MY PROBLEM - PLEASE READ HONDA STRIVE BULLETIN 10-001 PUT OUT ON 12/12/10. THE SRS INDUCTOR COMES ON AND DTC 32-10 IS STORED - HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS!,,
