Engine, Nov 19, 2018
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 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.

IT IS NOT RIGHT 2 NOT DO ANYTHING FOR OTHERS WHO GET A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK AND LOSE THEIR CAR WHEN HONDA SPECIFICALLY KNOWS IS MAKE AND MODEL HAS MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE BLOCKS CRACKING. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE ENGINES NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES WE HAVE ON THESE CARS DUE TO THE ENGINE BLOCKS CRACKING AND COULD BE POSSIBLY CAUSING A CAR ACCIDENT ON A FREEWAY HIGHWAY OR A MAIN STREET SOMEWHERE WHICH CAN KILL THEIR SELF OR OTHER PARTIES ON THE ROADS.

CAR HEATING UP DUE AN ENGINE BLOCK CRACK COOLANT LEAK.
Engine, Jun 29, 2018
THE ENGINE BLOCK ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC CRACKED, AND THE CAR BROKE DOWN TODAY. I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY DAUGHTER FROM RUNNING ERRANDS AND IT JUST DIED. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP. JUST GOT THE CALL SAYING THE BLOCK IS CRACKED, THAT IT MEANS A NEW ENGINE, THAT THERE WAS A 10 YEAR WARRANTY, BUT THAT I'M OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY. HONDA KNOWS CERTAIN YEARS OF CIVICS HAVE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, BUT THOSE OF US WHOSE CIVICS MADE IT LONGER BEFORE THE DEFECT KILLED THE ENGINE NOW BASICALLY HAVE SCRAP METAL. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IMMACULATELY MAINTAINED AND I HAVE ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS.

THE ENGINE BLOCK HAS A HAIRLINE CRACK AND THEY WONT COVER IT AS IT IS OVER THEIR "10 YEAR MARK " I AM A SECOND OWNER AND I BOUGHT THE CAR IN PERFECT CONDITION. FAST FORWARD A FEW YEARS LATER, AND I DO ALL OF MY MAINTENANCE, AND I WAKE UP AND THERES COOLANT ALL OVER MY GARAGE FLOOR. AND WHEN I CHANGED THE OIL IT SEEMED SLIMEY. I TOOK IT IN TO HONDA TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND THEY SAIDSINCE I AM OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD THEY ARE WILLING TO COVER 60% OF THE COSTS WHICH I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET $3200 ARE YOU KIDDING ME? FOR A DEFECT THAT WAS THERE FROM THE BEGINNING. I COULD REPLACE THE WHOLE ENGINE MYSELF FOR $1000. BUT ITS NOT MY PROBLEM. REGARDLESS OF THE MILES (170K) IVE HAD FORDS AND OLDER HONDAS THAT REACH WELL OVER 300K MILES AS LONG AS YOU TAKE CARE OF THEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN 'DRIVE', THE KEY IS ABLE TO BE PULLED OUT OF THE IGNITION. CAN BE BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION
