GOT INTO VEHICLE TO START UP, IT WOULD NOT CRANK, ONCE IT DID CRANK SPEED WOULD NOT EXCEED 25-30 MPH, DROVE 2 MILE TO MECHANIC. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF PROBLEM THE MECHANIC FOUND 2 CRACKS IN THE ENGINE BLOCK ON THE BACK SIDE. HE STATES THAT IT HAD BEEN LEAKING WATER AND ANTIFREEZE FOR A WHILE. HE SAID HE HAD NOT SEEN THIS TYPE CRACK SINCE HE HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE CRACK WAS VERY ODD BECAUSE OF WHERE THE CRACKS WERE. HE COMMENTED THAT WAS A DEFECT FROM FACTORY. NOTHING WAS DONE BY HONDA EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE AWARE OF ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE IN THE 2006-2008 ENGINES IN THE HONDA CIVIC. JUST SOL WITH HONDA. THEY COMMENT THAT AROUND 80,000-95,000 MILES THIS WAS WHEN THIS MIGHT HAPPEN. CAR HAS 92,000 ON IT AND HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN HARD. *TR

AROUND MAY OF 2013, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN THE SRS SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THAT SAME DAY, I DROVE TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP, THE SERVIDE DEPARTMENT OF WHICH TOLD ME THAT ALL THEY COULD DO WAS RESET THE LIGHT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT READ THE CODE. THE SERVICE GUY THEN TOLD ME THAT IN THE EVENT THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON, THEN I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS. DURING THAT TIME, THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND OFF. WHEN OFF, THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHENEVER I DROVE OVER AN UNEVEN TERRAIN. I WENT TO YET ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHO COULD NOT TELL ME ANYTHING SUBSTANTIAL ABOUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS OFF WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN. AROUND MID-JUNE, THE SRS LIGHT STARTED COMING AND STAYING ON. I CALLED HONDA THIS MORNING TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE AND THAT I CANNOT BE HELPED. I AM TAKING MY CAR IN AGAIN TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, SO THAT AT LEAST I CAN PINPOINT THE ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT IT APPEARS THAT WITH THIS LIGHT ON, MY AIRBAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED. IN THE EVENT I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, I WILL NOT BE PROTECTED. THIS IS ESSENTIALLY DISTURBING BECAUSE MY AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER DEPLOYED SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE TO PAY FOR A FAULTY AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT HAS REALLY NEVER BEEN PUT TO USE. I REALLY HOPE THAT HONDA FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY DAUGHTER'S CAR WAS PARKED IN THE CAR AND WHEN SHE LEFT TO GO TO WORK NOTICED A HUGE POOL OF GREENISH FLUID ON THE FLOOR. HER FATHER ADVISED HER TO TAKE THE CAR IMMEDIATELY UP TO OUR MECHANIC (LESS THAN 3 MILES AWAY) WHERE HE ADVISED HER THAT SHE HAD A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK AND AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH TOLD HER THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN (08-044) AND WARRANTY EXTENSION BULLETIN (10-048) FROM HONDA ADVISING OF THIS ISSUE FOR ALL 2006-2008 HONDA CIVICS. SHE HAD HER VEHICLE TOWED DOWN TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT SHE WOULD BE TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL REPAIRS. AMERICAN HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND ACKNOWLEDGES ALL OF THE SERVICE BULLETINS BUT STATES THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE IT WAS NOT UNDER A RECALL. ALL OF THE TECHNICAL BULLETINS POINT TO THE FACT THAT THEY KNEW THAT ALL 2006-2008 HONDA CIVICS WERE POTENTIALLY AT RISK DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. JUST HOPING THAT SOMEONE CAN HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, WHEN MY CAR WAS ABOUT 6 YEARS OLD, I STARTED NOTICING WHITISH MARKINGS IN THE PAINT ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR. SINCE THEN THESE LIGHT MARKS HAVE TURNED INTO MAJOR CHIPPING AND PEELING PAINT. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR THAT HAD THIS PROBLEM, WHETHER OR NOT THE CAR WAS MOSTLY IN A GARAGE OR LEFT OUTSIDE ON THE STREET. BEFORE GOING INTO THE DEALER TO COMPLAIN, I DECIDED TO SEARCH THE WEB AS I HAD A FEELING I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I WAS RIGHT! THOUSANDS OF OTHER CAR OWNERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING IN BOTH HONDA CIVIC'S AND ACCORDS, FROM MODEL YEARS 2003 TO 2007, AND THERE IS EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT DETAILING THE PROBLEM. HONDA, APPARENTLY, IS NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS GLARING DEFECT AND I, FOR ONE, AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THEIR REFUSAL TO STEP UP AND RECALL THE CARS OR ISSUE PAYMENTS TO OWNERS TO COVER REPAINTING. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY, AND THEIR REFUSAL TO DO THE RIGHT THING, IN THIS DAY AND AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA, WILL LIKELY SEVERELY HURT THEIR SALES. HONDA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND REIMBURSE THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO OWN AFFECTED CARS? THE RESALE VALUE HAS BEEN SEVERELY AFFECTED BY THESE DEFECTS. *TR

THE HONDA CIVIC SUDDENLY OVERHEATED. AFTER LETTING THE ENGINE COOL AND ADDING COOLANT, THE CAR OVERHEATED AGAIN ABOUT TEN DAYS LATER. OUR MECHANIC DISCOVERED FOUR TINY CRACKS IN THE BLOCK. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED HONDA CIVICS 2006-2008 HAVE A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHICH CAUSES THE CRACKS. HONDA HAS ISSUED TSB 08-044 TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE UP TO EIGHT YEARS. HOWEVER, IF THE CAR HAS A REBUILT TITLE, HONDA WILL DO NOTHING TO REMEDY THE KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT. MY WIFE HAS BEEN LEFT STRANDED TWICE BY AN OVERHEATED VEHICLE. IF THE CAR OVERHEATS IN TRAFFIC, THERE COULD BE A FIRE OR COLLISION.WHILE HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES THE DEFECT, THEY HAVE REFUSED TO RECALL THE CAR. HAVING APPEALED THREE TIMES TO HONDA FOR HELP, I NOW APPEAL TO THE NHTSA FOR HELP. *TR
