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.

WE HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC WITH 62200 MILES AND NOTICED IT STARTED RUNNING HOT AND ROUGH IDLE. TOOK IT IN TO A REPAIR SHOP WE HAVE USED FOR YEARS( THAT ALSO DOES MANUFACTURES AUTHORIZED MAINTENANCE) FOR THE PROBLEM, AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. WE ARE TWO MONTHS TO THE DAY OUT OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM HONDA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THIS WAS MY WIFE'S MAIN VEHICLE, AND THANKFULLY THIS WAS NOT A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE THAT LEFT HER STRANDED. THIS IS NOT A SMALL COMPONENT FAILURE. THIS LEAVES THE CAR UNDRIVABLE AND PRACTICALLY WORTHLESS FOR TRADE-IN OR RESALE.

CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK, JUST SHY OF EXTENDED WARRANTY. CAR ONLY HAS 113K MILES. DRIVING HOME AND SMELLED COOLANT, POPPED HOOD AND SAW THAT THE FRONT OF THE BLOCK WAS SEEPING COOLANT, NO HOSES ARE NEARBY TO CAUSE LEAK.
Other or unspecified, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 5, 2017
ON AUGUST 31, 2017 WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING AND SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE HOOD SUDDENLY. FORTUNATELY I MANAGED TO PULL OVER THE CAR TO A SAFE PLACE IMMEDIATELY BESIDE THE HIGHWAY OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A FATAL SITUATION. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEAN HONDA AT PITTSBURGH WHERE THEY PERFORMED THE DIAGNOSIS TO FIND THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY IDENTIFIED THAT THERE WAS CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK WHICH HAS CAUSED THE COOLANT TO LEAK FROM THE ENGINE AND HENCE OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE HAS HAPPENED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED AND FEW OTHER PARTS AS WELL (LIKE SPARK PLUG ETC.) TO MAKE THE CAR RUNNING AGAIN WHICH WOULD COST ME AROUND $4000. I DID SOME RESEARCH OVER THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THAT MOST OF THE 2006 TO 2009 CIVICS HAD THE ENGINE CRACK ISSUE AND TSB 10-048 WAS ISSUED AND THE WARRANTY OF SUCH ENGINES WERE EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS AND THAT WOULD COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE IF SUCH ISSUES ARE FOUND. I CHECKED WITH MY SERVICE CONSULTANT AT DEAN HONDA IF THIS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. HE DID A VIN INQUIRY AND SAID THE WARRANT HAS EXPIRED 10 DAYS AGO AND THIS WON'T BE COVERED. (THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE DATE OF THE CAR WAS 22-AUG-2007 AND THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED TO ME ON 31-AUG-2017). THIS IS A BIG BLOW TO ME. THIS IS MY FIRST CAR IN THE US. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS THE SECOND OWNER IN JULY 2015 WITH ONLY 36000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE HARDLY DRIVEN 15000 MILES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. THE PREVIOUS OWNER ALSO NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH IT AND THAT'S WHY I PURCHASED IT WITH CONFIDENCE. CONSIDERING CUSTOMER'S SAFETY, THESE ENGINES NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY HONDA AND REPLACED WITH NEW ONES OR AT LEAST THE WARRANTY OF THESE ENGINES NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED FURTHER (FOR AT LEAST FOR 5 MORE YEARS). I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO SURVIVE A FATAL ACCIDENT.

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. NEW ENGINE IS A $4000-$5000 FIX, MORE THAN VALUE OF CAR. I'M STUCK WITH WORTHLESS CIVIC WITH CRACKED ENGINE AND ONLY 124K MILES. WILL NEVER BUY HONDA AGAIN AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE. BUYER BEWARE OF USED 2006-2009 HONDA CIVICS.
