THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED (ACCORDING TO DEALER) EXACTLY LIKE AS DESCRIBED IN SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048 WHICH THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR, BUT WHICH A BUNCH OF US OWNERS ARE OUTSIDE OF NOW. SO MY CAR IS GARBAGE UNLESS I SPEND 2-7K FIXING A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I STARTED OVERHEATING AS I WAS DRIVING HOME AS AND LIMPED HOME TRYING TO NOT LET THE ENGINE GET TOO HOT (DIDN'T WORK).

CAR ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AND CASED ENGINE TO OVERHEAT LEAKED COOLANT ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND ROAD. 110K MILES ON THE CAR, ORIGINAL OWNER, ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AND CAR RARELY EVER SAW OVER 4K RPM.. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT, YET THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUED. YES, HONDA ISSUED A 10 YEAR 'EXTENSION' OF A WARRANTY AND CLAIMS TO HAVE NOTIFIED OWNERS VIA MAIL WHEN IT WAS OFFICIALLY 'ANNOUNCED' BACK IN 2014. I UNDERSTAND 'NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR' FROM AN OLDER CAR AND I WOULD EXPECT TO OWN THE COSTS FOR REPAIR... BUT AN ENGINE BLOCK CRACKING DUE TO A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT RENDERING A CAR UNUSABLE, AND HONDA EXPECTS YOU TO PAY 2600-5K TO MAKE THEIR CARS DERIVABLE AGAIN? THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT RESULTS IN ENGINE FAILURE AND OVERHEATING WHILE DRIVING (POTENTIAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE, TRAFFIC HAZARD, FIRE,ETC).

THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY HONDA AS A RECALL WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS A LEAK YET. 10 YEAR WARRANTY ONLY FOR A LEAK DURING THAT TIME DOESN'T MAKE THINGS RIGHT.

ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY HONDA AS A RECALL WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS A LEAK YET. 10 YEAR WARRANTY ONLY FOR A LEAK DURING THAT TIME DOESN'T MAKE THINGS RIGHT. AND MOST PEOPLE NEVER GOT THE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE. PEOPLE BUY HONDA BECAUSE THEY HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE LONGEVITY OF THE MAIN COMPONENTS, LIKE THE ENGINE, OF THESE VEHICLES. WHY IS IT FAIR THAT OTHERS GOT A FREE ENGINE REPLACED BUT OURS LASTED A LITTLE LONGER, MAYBE DUE TO BETTER CARE OF THE VEHICLE, AND WE GET NOTHING FOR THE SAME DEFECT? MAKE THIS RIGHT, HONDA!

I'M COMPLETELY DEVISTATED. MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC STARTED LEAKING ANTIFREEZE. WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AN EASY REPLACEMENT FOR AN OLD PART OR SOMETHING, WRONG. OUR ENGINE CRACKED BECAUSE OF BAD CRAFSTMANSHIP. WE ARE PAST THE 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY BY 2-3 YEARS. THIS SHOULD STILL BE COVERED! I PLANNED ON OUR KIDS DRIVING THIS CAR AND KEEPING IT FOR A LONG LONG TIME! WE CAN'T AFFORD $7000 NEW ENGINE! THIS ENGINE SHOULD HAVE LASTED A LOT LONGER! I'M SO UPSET THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED STILL.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE STARTED TO GET REALLY HOT I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND MY BRAKES ALL AT ONCE BECAUSE THE ENGINE OVERHEATED, I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND FILLED THE COOLANT HOWEVER THAT DID NOT WORK AND SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I WAS N THE HIGHWAY AND HAD MERE SECONDS OF LOSING POWER STEERING TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GET OUT OF THE CAR AS SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE CAR WAS BOUGHT IN 2006 AND BECAUSE OF JUST AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS ONLY 10 YEARS I NOW HAVE TO PUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO GETTING A NEW ENGINE.

GOT OFF THE ROAD FROM NY TO MD LAST NIGHT AND NOTICED A BIT OF A COOLANT SMELL. NOT A BIG DEAL, BUT WAS GOING TO TAKE IT INTO JIFFY LUBE FOR AN OIL CHANGE ANYWAYS, WOULD HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT. TURNS OUT THAT IT WAS A LEAK FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. ALSO TURNS OUT THAT HONDA HAD NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH THIS ERA OF CARS AND DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL, ONLY A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048, WHEREAS OWNERS WERE COVERED WITHIN 10 YEARS OF PURCHASE, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. SINCE THE PROBLEM DID NOT MANIFEST ITSELF WITHIN THOSE 10 YEARS, I WOULD HAVE HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING TO BRING IT IN (DESPITE BEING SERVICED AT HONDA DEALERSHIPS IN THE INTERIM). THE CAR ONLY HAS 63K MILES ON IT AND IT'S PATENTLY ABSURD TO THINK THAT A DEFECT THAT THEY NOTICED HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE ON IT, PUNISHING LOW VOLUME DRIVERS--AS IN, HAD WE DRIVEN MORE FREQUENTLY, THE DEFECT WOULD'VE REVEALED ITSELF EARLIER, PERHAPS WITHIN THE WINDOW, AND PERHAPS SAVING US THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS AND URGE HONDA TO CHANGE ITS POLICY REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM WITH THIS ERA OF CIVICS.
