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.

MY 18 YEAR OLD SON WAS OUT OF TOWN WAS ON HIS WAY HOME ON A HIGHWAY. HIS HONDA CIVIC'S A/C BEGAN TO BE LESS AND LESS COOL. THEN HIS TEMPERATURE GAUGE QUICKLY ROSE AS FAR IN THE RED THAT IT COULD GO. HE PULLED OVER AND CALLED US. WE WENT TO PICK HIM UP. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF A LEAK UNDER HIS CAR BUT THE ANTIFREEZE WAS LOW. WE FILLED IT UP AND DROVE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY WE CHECKED THE ANTIFREEZE LEVEL AND IT WAS VERY LOW AGAIN WITH NO SIGN OF ANYTHING UNDER THE CAR. WE TOOK THE CAR IN AND THE ANTIFREEZE WAS LEAKING INTO THE OIL. WE HAD ONE OF THE CIVICS THAT HAD THE KNOWN ISSUE OF FAULTY MANUFACTURING AND THE ENGINE BLOCKS WERE CRACKING AROUND THE 100,000 MILE MARK. THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN POTENTIALLY EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS MY SON DROVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY OFTEN FOR SCHOOL. HONDA IS TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFAULT BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THAT CLAIM. BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN SOONER, DOES NOT MAKE THE DEFECT LESS DANGEROUS. MY SON WAS NOT INJURED BECAUSE HE MADE A INTELLIGENT DECISION ABOUT AN ISSUE THAT WASN'T RIGHT. I WORRY FOR THOSE THAT TAKE THE CHANCE. NO ONE WANTS THEIR CHILD STRANDED AFTER DARK BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THAT HONDA KNOWS IS A PROBLEM BUT WASH THEIR HANDS OF IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THEIR TIME FRAME.

I PULLED OVER AND THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING.I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO SHOP TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN MY ENGINE BLOCK. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. NO COOLANT LEAKS OR LOW COOLANT OBSERVED. JUST HAD OIL CHANGE THE WEEK BEFORE AND MECHANIC SAID THAT EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I HAVE MAINTAINED THE CAR REGULARLY. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I FOUND THAT HONDA HAS KNOW ABOUT THIS SINCE 2013. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE OR WAS MADE AWARE OF THIS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER FOR RECALL ON AIRBAGS AND SUN VISOR AND NO ONE EVER MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. HONDA SAID THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR REPAIR BECAUSE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I WASN'T EVEN AWARE OF THIS WARRANTY AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WITH COOLANT LEAK OR OVERHEATING TO EVEN CAUSE CONCERN.

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.

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%.
