2007 CIVIC EX, 124,000 MILES, WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR INTERSTATE ENGINE LEAKED COOLANT & OVERHEATED. PULLED OFF INTERSTATE & TOWED HOME. PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS: CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. HONDA ACKNOWLEDGED THIS IS AN ENGINE DESIGN DEFECT AND ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048 EXTENDING ENGINE WARRANTY TO 10 YRS (120 MOS), UNLIMITED MILEAGE, FREE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. MY ENGINE CRACKED AT 10 YRS, 3 MOS. CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE (CA) 800-999-1009. HONDA AGENT SAID CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, HONDA CAN'T HELP ME. SPOKE TO HONDA AGENT'S REGIONAL MANAGER; SAME STORY, UNWILLING TO HELP. IF ENGINE CRACKED 3 MOS EARLIER, FREE REPLACEMENT. I OFFERED TO SHARE REPAIR COST, HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER SAID NO, AND SHE WOULD NOT LET ME SPEAK TO HER SUPERIOR. SHE TOLD ME TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION IF I FELT HONDA OWED ME SOMETHING.

MY CAR ALWAYS STAYED AT THE APPROPRIATE TEMPERATURE. NEVER ANY PROBLEMS. HAD MY OIL CHANGED FAITHFULLY AND FLUID CHECKED. AT ABOUT 84,000 MILES, MY ANTIFREEZE LEAKED QUITE EXTENSIVELY, MY ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND MY ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED. NO RYME OR REASON FOR IT. I HEARD THAT HONDA GAVE CIVIC OWNERS A 10-YEAR WARRANTY FROM DATE OF PURCHASE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED 10-YEARS AND 3 MONTHS AFTER THE DATE OF PURCHASE (MAY 2007). WHEN THIS OCCURRED, I WAS DOING CITY STREETS AND NOTICED IT WHEN IT WAS STATIONERY.

AFTER LETTING IT COOL, I LOOKED INSIDE THE RADIATOR AND NOTICED THERE WAS NO FLUID LEFT. WE FILLED IT UP AND BROUGHT IT TO THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THEY SAID THE ENGINE BLOCK HAD CRACKED. HONDA HAD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS FOR THE ORIGINAL SELL DATE FOR CARS WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, MY CAR IS OUT OF THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY BY 6 MONTHS. HONDA WILL NOT HELP OUT IN ANY WAY SINCE I AM OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD EVEN THOUGH IT'S A KNOWN FAULT.

IT VIBRATES WHEN IN PARK, NEUTRAL AND WHEN BACKING UP. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COLLAPSED MOTOR MOUNT. I REALLY FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK OF MY VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO LEAK COOLANT, WHICH LED TO THE VEHICLE OVERHEATING. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAVE MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY CAR AND NOW NEED A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND IT CAME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENSION WARRANTY FOR CRACK BLOCKAGE IN THE ENGINE OF HONDA'S BETWEEN 2006-EARLY 2009. FOR THAT I TOOK MY CAR IN BUT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IS ONLY OFFERING TO PAY FOR THE CRACKED BLOCK AND NOT THE DAMAGE DONE DO TO THIS ISSUE. NO LIGHT CAME ON TO WARN THAT THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING, THEREFORE I NEVER KNEW THERE WAS AN ISSUE UNTIL I COULD SMELL IT.

ON JULY 4, 2016 MY VEHICLE STARTED TO OVERHEAT I PULLED OVER JUST IN TIME TO ADD COOLANT AND WATER. 6 WEEKS LATER SAME THING. I PULLED IN PARKING SPOT AND FILLED IT UP AGAIN. VEHICLE WAS FINE. ON AUGUST 28TH I WAS DRIVING UP MT. SOLEDAD GOING 25 MPH WITH AC ON LOWEST NOTCH RPMS BELOW 3. THEN AS I STOPPED TO TURN LEFT MY ENGINE STOPPED (SEIZED ) I PULLED MY E-BRAKE AND SAFELY HAD MY BF WITH BY STANDER PUSH MY VEHICLE WHILE IN NEUTRAL. THEN I TRIED TO START VEHICLE NOTHING. AAA CAME OUT SAID MAYBE ITS FUEL PUMP, FUSES, SPARK PLUGS. THE NEXT DAY AFTER MY CAR HAD BEEN SITTING. I SPENT ALL AFTERNOON TROUBLE SHOOTING FOR ALTERNATOR, FUSE, FUEL PUMP USSUES. NEXT DAY MY MECHANIC FRIEND CAME OVER TROUBLESHOOTING THE SPARK PLUGS, FUEL PUMP AND DID ENGINE COMPRESSION TEST NONE. MY HEART SANK. THEN HE SAID THIS CAR HAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT I ASKED HIM HOW MUCH A REPAIR WOULD BE OR NEW ENGINE HE SAID ABOUT 1800. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUNDS 100S MAYBE 1000S OF REPORTS ON THIS SECRET EXTENDED WARRANTY ON CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK ON MODELS 2006 TO 2009 HONDA CIVIC. MOST REPORTS WERE THAT HONDA COULDN'T DO ANYTHING IF YOUR VEHICLE WAS DEEMED SALVAGE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. THE PREVIOUS OWNER MY MOTHER OR, MYSELF COULD'VE BEEN IN BAD ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN ZERO ACCIDENTS THAT WOULD IMPACT THE ENGINE ASIDE FROM TINY FENDER BENDERS IN THE SHOPPING MARKET. I BELIEVE ALL HONDA OWNERS SHOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUES WITH BAD ENGINE BLOCK. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. A LAWSUIT WOULD HAVE FOLOWED IF I ENDED UP IN HOSPITAL DUE TO THEIR POOR QUALITY DANGEROUS DEFECT WITH ENGINE BLOCK. THIS ISN'T OVER. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.

HONDA DEALER IS REPAIRING THOSE CARS WITH FREE BUT WON'T DO MINE BECAUSE MINE IS SALVAGE TITLED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT 3 YEARS AGO. I DON'T THINK IT IS FAIR. THE PROBLEM IS ORIGINATED FROM THE FACTORY. THEY ARE AVOIDING RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE SIMPLY IT IS SALVAGE TITLED. HONDA COMPANY DOESN'T CARE IF MY LIFE IS IN DANGER BECAUSE IT IS JUST SALVAGE TITLED?. I DON'T THINK THAT IS RIGHT HUMANITY.

HE APPLIED A COOLANT PRESSURE TESTER TO THE RADIATOR AND FOUND A LEAK COMING FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. I HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED BY HIM. I FILED A CLAIM WITH HONDA UNDER THE RECALL TO GET MY MONEY BACK.

I CLAIMED THIS TO HONDA IN AUGUST 2015, WAS DENIED IN SEPTEMBER, 2015, REASON GIVEN WAS THAT MY BROTHER IS NOT QUALIFIED AS A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE, BUT A COOLANT LEAK IS EASY TO FIND WITH A PRESSURE TESTER AND MY BROTHER HAS WORKED ON ENGINES FOR YEARS.
