Service brakes, hydraulic, antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, wheel speed sensor/tone ringSep 5, 2007
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR HOUSING USES AN O-RING SEAL TO PREVENT LEAKAGE TO OR FROM THE WHEEL BEARING. IF ASSEMBLED IMPROPERLY, THE O-RING MAY NOT SEAL PROPERLY ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER THE WHEEL BEARING AND EVENTUALLY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BEARING, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WHERE USE OF ROAD SALT IS PREVALENT. IF THE DRIVER CONTINUES TO DRIVE WITH THIS CONDITION IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE WHEEL BEARING TO BECOME LOOSE, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE BEARING TO FAIL.
THIS COULD CAUSE A WHEEL TO FALL OFF OF THE VEHICLE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR ABS SENSORS AND WHEEL BEARINGS FOR DAMAGED PARTS AND REPLACE THEM FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY ROAD, THE VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING WHILE I WAS INSIDE, IT WAS SO SCARY. I'M LUCKY THAT I'M ALIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY HONDA WITH A CRACKED ENGINE. HONDA WAS FULLY AWARE OF THE ENGINE BLOCK LEAK ISSUE BACK IN 2013. INSTEAD OF OFFERING A TOTAL RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE FOR ALL THE RUNNING CIVICS, THEY SIMPLY OFFERED A 10 YEAR WARRANTY, IN CASE THE PROBLEM SURFACES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND AUTHORITIES SHOULD INVESTIGATE HOW HONDA IS HANDLING THESE COMPLAINTS. THEY REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND STAND BY THEIR CUSTOMERS.

CAR BEGAN LEAKING ANTIFREEZE FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. HONDA ADMITS THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AS WELL AS OTHERS BUT REFUSES TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. I HAVE APPEALED WITH AMERICAN HONDA TO NO AVAIL. THEY DO NOT CARE BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUTSIDE OF ITS WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THEY WILL ADMIT THAT THE ENGINE IS A DEFECT BY HONDA. CAR WAS PARKED AT THE TIME, HAS NO DAMAGES, AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC ON 8/17/19 WHEN I NOTICED MY VEHICLE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INCREASING AT A FAST RATE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND FOUND OUT THAT MY CAR DIDN'T HAVE ANY COOLANT. THINKING THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM, COOLANT WAS FILLED IN THE RADIATOR AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME. HOWEVER, LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, THE CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT ONCE AGAIN. AFTER INSPECTION, MY CAR WAS OUT OF COOLANT AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR TO ED NAPLETON HONDA IN OAK LAWN ON 8/26/19 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CYLINDER BLOCK WAS CRACKED AND WAS CAUSING A LEAK OF THE COOLANT WHICH CAUSES OVERHEATING IN VEHICLES. ALTHOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN HONDA CIVIC MODELS 2006-2009, I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA ISSUED TWO WARRANTY EXTENSIONS FOR UP TO 10 YEARS AND THAT MY CAR WAS TWO YEARS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. BECAUSE I'M THE ORIGINAL AND SOLE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WITH GREAT MAINTENANCE HISTORY, THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE MANAGER SUBMITTED A GOODWILL REQUEST TO HONDA CORPORATE ASKING FOR THE COST OF REPAIR TO BE COVERED. HOWEVER, THE REQUEST WAS DENIED BY THE REGIONAL HONDA DISTRICT PARTS AND SERVICE MANAGER. I ESCALATED THE SITUATION TO HONDA CORPORATE AND FOUND OUT FROM A CUSTOMER SERVICE SPECIALIST THAT HONDA DID NOT SEND THE LETTER INFORMING ME OF THE DEFECT AND WARRANTY EXTENSION TO MY CORRECT ADDRESS. FURTHERMORE, IT WAS NOT AN ADDRESS THAT I HAD EVER PROVIDED TO HONDA. AFTER ESCALATING MY ISSUE TO THE REGIONAL CASE MANAGER, I WAS STILL REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE. THERE ARE OVER 300 COMPLAINTS ABOUT CRACKED ENGINE BLOCKS IN 06-09 HONDA CIVICS ON THE CAR COMPLAINTS WEBSITE ALONE. MANY OWNERS STATE THAT THEIR VEHICLES BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION. THIS QUESTIONS HONDA'S KNOWLEDGE OF THE LONGEVITY OF THE ENGINE BLOCK AND ALL PARTS INVOLVED. I APPEAL TO NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ONGOING MATTER AND HOLD HONDA ACCOUNTABLE BY ENFORCING A RECALL.

A COUPLE DAYS AFTER PURCHASING A 2007 HONDA CIVIC WITH 150,000 MILES, IT SUDDENLY OVERHEATED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND BEGAN SMOKING AS I ATTEMPTED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. UPON EXAMINING THE CAR, THERE WAS NO COOLANT IN THE RESERVOIR (DESPITE ADDING COOLANT, THE COOLANT LEVELS CONSISTENTLY DROP BUT THERE IS NO EXTERNAL LEAK). FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD IN TIME. HONDA RECOGNIZED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCKS FOR 2007 HONDA CIVICS WERE DEFECTIVE (HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048) BUT NO LONGER COVERS REPAIRS FOR THE SAFETY RISK THAT THEIR DEFECTIVE ENGINE BLOCKS POSE TO DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD WHEN THEIR CARS OVERHEAT.

HAS CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY HONDA FOR '06,'07',08 AND SOME '9 CIVIC DUE TO A MANUFACTURE DEFECT ON THE BLOCK. HONDA UPGRADED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE. THE CRACK OCCURS BETWEEN 95K-110K MILES. I HAVE 101K ON MY CAR. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY PERIOD THEREFORE HONDA HAS DENIED FIXING MY VEHICLE. HONDA SHOULD HAVE RECALLED INSTEAD OF WARRANTY PERIOD SINCE IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THERE ARE MANY OF US WHO DO NOT DRIVE OUR CAR AS MUCH. I ALSO PURCHASED THE EXTRA WARRANTY FOR PIECE OF MIND AT THE TIME OF THE PURCHASE AND HONDA STILL WILL NOT BUDGE.

FAULTY A/C COMPRESSOR LOCKS UP THE DRIVE BELT CAUSING THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY TO STOP ROTATING WHICH RESULTS IN THE ENGINE AND ALL ACCESSORIES (POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, ETC.) TO TURN OFF RANDOMLY IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS AFTER THE ENGINE IS TURNED-ON AND HAS OCCURRED CONSISTENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN FOR A FEW MINUTES AND WHEN IT IS AT IDLE FOR A FEW MINUTES. NO WARNINGS OR ENGINE FAULT CODES FOUND ON ECU, THIS MECHANICAL FAILURE WILL CAUSE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK-UP, THE POWER BRAKES TO NO LONGER FUNCTION CORRECTLY AND PUTS THE DRIVER AND EVERYONE AROUND AT A SERIOUS RISK OF INJURY AND DEATH.

2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE- CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK I FOUND OUT I HAD A LEAK SO I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM. UPON THEIR FINDINGS, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY ENGINE BLOCK. WHICH AT THAT TIME THEY EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY FOR CRACKED ENGINE BLOCKS IN WHICH, HONDA HAD EXTENDED IT TO 10 YEARS. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT HAD I BEEN THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE TO HAVE IT REPLACED. SADLY I'M THE SECOND OWNER AND WAS UNAWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES, ALONG WITH BEING OUT OF WARRANTY BY 3 YEARS. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM A DEALER LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AGO, FOR $6,000 WHICH I ALSO PAID HONDA $1416 TO HAVE THE NECESSARY UPDATES DONE ON IT, BECAUSE IT ONLY HAD 102,000 MILES BEING A 2007. WHICH SHOULD SAY THAT I'M VERY RESPONSIBLE IN TAKING CARE OF NEEDS. WELL, ITS NOW AT 104,000 MILES AND THE ENGINE BLOCK IS CRACKED IN WHICH MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR GOING ON NOW A WEEK, WAITING ON SOMEONE TO GET BACK WITH ME TO TELL ME IF THEY CAN HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM THAT WAS CLEARLY NOT MY FAULT BUT, A MANUFACTURED FAULT. I'VE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND CAN ONLY PRAY THAT I'M NOT JUST ANOTHER COMPLAINT THAT GETS LOOKED OVER. I WAS QUOTED BY THE DEALERSHIP THE COST WOULD BE $4800 IN WHICH ON A FIXED INCOME CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY THAT AMOUNT. AS OF THIS DATE MY CAR IS STILL AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AS I AM WITHOUT EVEN A LOANER CAR UNTIL THEY WORK OUT THE DETAILS OF THIS. YOU'D THINK BEING ONE OF THE TOP CAR COMPANIES THIS WOULD NOT BE SO DAUNTING AND DRAWN OUT. WHY PUT A EXPIRATION ON SOMETHING THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR YET SOMEONE'S LIFE AND WHEN IT'S BROUGHT TO ATTENTION THE CUSTOMER IS LEFT WITH THE WORST CASE SCENARIO? LORD HELP US ALL, BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY OF THESE I'VE SAW OUT THERE AND IT DON'T SEEM AS IF ANYTHING IS HELPING WITH COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT.

HONDA CIVIC CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR MANY YEARS. THEY HAVE NEVER ISSUED A RECALL, ONLY A SERVICE BULLETIN. MANY HONDA CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THEIR MOTORS OVERHEATING DUE TO A FAULTY ENGINE AND CRACKING OCCURRING. THE ENGINE IS DEFECTIVE. MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC STARTED OVERHEATING IN 2018. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO MONITOR THE COOLANT LEVEL BECAUSE IT KEEPS DECREASING AND I HAVE TO ADD MORE COOLANT. I HAVE COME TO CLOSE TO THE CAR OVERHEATING WHILE DRIVING IT WHEN I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OFF THE ROAD TO ADD MORE FLUID. IT WAS DIAGNOSED YESTERDAY 1/25/19 BY A HONDA DEALER WITH A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. HONDA CORPORATE IS NOT GOING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BECAUSE THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. SEE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 10-48. THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY ISSUED FOR THOSE OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM WITHIN THAT 10 YEAR PERIOD OF TIME. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. HONDA NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT THAT THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED BUT ARE ONLY FIXING IT IF IT HAPPENS WITHIN A 10 YEAR PERIOD REGARDLESS IF THE MILES ARE LOW, AS IN MY VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE CAN RESULT IN A CAR FIRE FROM OVERHEATING, SO IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA IS IGNORING BY NOT DECLARING A RECALL. THIS IS AN ENGINE DEFECT THAT HONDA HAS FULLY ACKNOWLEDGED. A RECALL MUST BE DECLARED SO THAT OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES ARE PROTECTED FROM A POTENTIAL CAR FIRE FROM THE ENGINE OVERHEATING.
