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.
