The vehicle has the well known cracked block issue and is leaking coolant
Engine, Jan 5, 2022
Engine block is leaking coolant. This has been verified at Highlands Ranch Imports. (303)771-9600. The car cannot be driven without causing the engine to overheat. I have been told that there is a potential recall.

My engine block is cracked and it is leaking antifreeze
Engine, Oct 30, 2021
The engine block was designed or manufactured in a way where certain 06-08 honda civics would crack. Many people experience this problem and it is extremely dangerous for honda to be allowed to manufacture an engine block that cracks.

My 2008 Honda Civic engine block cracked on 09-08-2021. Honda had a class action settlement for this issue and extended the warranty 10 years from first purchased date a couple years ago. Well mine finally cracked and its been 13years from the first purchased date. So the repairs are not covered under the extended warranty. I feel Honda should still fix this issue regardless if the extended 10 year warranty is expired.
Engine, Jul 8, 2021
Having a lot of problems, coolant leaking, when in park. Power steering, engine idles when in park and at a stop light.When passing on the brake the car idles so have to push really hard on brake. Passenger air bag light never turns on. Ac blows hot air then cold then hot again. The car makes a really loud noise from the engine and wants to go even in neutral or if my foot is on the brake. Windshield leaks when it rains, roof trip flaps all over the place. Passenger door locks will not unlock except if you manually push it. Head lights flicker and the growling noise from the hood is really scary

THE BLOCK CRACKED CAUSING A ANTIFREEZE LEAK. HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON 08 CIVICS AN EXTRA 10 YEARS FROM ORIGINAL WARRANTY WHICH WOULD ALLOW MY CIVIC TO STILL BE UNDER WARRANTY. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME THE WARRANTY ONLY PERTAINED TO FIRST OWNERS. I SUSPECT MY PROBLEM OCCURRED ON WEDNESDAY 4/21/2021 AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. IT HAS NEVER OVERHEATED SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT.
Engine, Dec 16, 2020
ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED WHILE I STARTED DRIVING IT TODAY AND CAR OVERHEATED, TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS 2YEARS OUT OF WARRANTY, I HAD ASKED BEFORE IF IT WAS IN THE RECALL AND THEY SAID IF IT WASNT CRACKED IT WOULDNT BE UNDER WARRANTY
Engine, Nov 30, 2020
I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 7 MONTH AGO AND REPLACED BRAKES, ROTORS, A TIRE, REPAIRED A BROKEN LUGNUT, AND NOW THE ENGINE HAS OVERHEATED AND BLOWN AND IS EVIDENTLY NOT COVERED UNDER THE PREVIOUS WARRANTY BECAUSE IT IS PAST EXPIRATION (YEAR AND MILEAGE). PUTTING A USED ENGINE INTO THE VEHICLE IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AND MY DEALERSHIP IS NOT WILLING TO PUT A NEW ONE IN. WHEN IT BEGAN OVERHEATING, I HAD JUST PULLED ONTO THE HIGHWAY (AVERAGE SPEED OF ABOUT 50) AND NOTICED THAT MY HEAT WASN'T WORKING (WHICH WAS WEIRD SINCE I HAD REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT ALREADY A FEW WEEKS PRIOR) AND THEN THE CAR READ AS HOT AS POSSIBLE. WHEN I SAFELY PULLED OVER, THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND IT WAS TOWED TO A RELIABLE MECHANIC WHO SAID IT WAS THE COOLANT LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK, BUT WAS NOT PART OF THE WARRANTY ANYMORE.

HONDA EXTENDED A WARRANTY FOR 2006-2008 CIVICS TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE ENGINE BLOCKS. I HAVE A 2008 CIVIC THAT HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE SO I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS ISSUE UNTIL NOW. THEY WILL NOT HONOR THEIR REPLACEMENT WARRANTY, NOR DID THE DEALERSHIP SAY ANYTHING TO ME WHEN I HAD MY CAR SERVICED THERE SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR SINCE 2015. WHY WOULD THEY NOT SAY SOMETHING? NOW I'M LEFT WITH A CAR THAT IS USELESS AND I BET THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE PURCHASED MORE THAN 5 CARS FROM WILL TAKE IT AS A TRADE IN. IT WAS IN MOTION PARKED TO GO IN THE STORE AND CAME OUT TO ALL OF MY ANTIFREEZE ON THE PAVEMENT. HAD TO LIMP IT SOME SO IT WOULDN'T CAUSE MORE DAMAGE.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MY 2008 CIVIC (137,500 MILES) OVERHEATED WHILE ON HIGHWAY & AFTER PULLING OVER & CHECKING COOLANT SPILL TANK SAW IT WAS EMPTY. NEXT DAY REFILLED RADIATOR WITH COOLANT & AFTER STARTING CAR NOTICED COOLANT LEAKING ON GROUND AT FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE. I COULD NOT LOCATE LEAK. DROVE TO NEAREST HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT & AT SERVICE (VIA PRESSURE TEST OF ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM) A CRACK IN ENGINE BLOCK BETWEEN CYL. 1 & 2 WAS LOCATED. I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE TECH THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF ENGINE BLOCK CRACK/ DEFECT & INSTEAD OF ISSUING A SERVICE RECALL WHAT THEY DID WAS A WARRANTY EXTENSION OF 10 YEARS. HOWEVER, THAT WARRANTY EXPIRED 2 YEARS AGO. SERVICE MANAGER CALLED AMERICAN HONDA CORP. FOR GOODWILL ASSISTANCE TO TRY & HELP WITH REPAIRS BUT AMERICAN HONDA REJECTED/ DECLINED THE REQUEST & HAS LEFT ME WITHOUT A VEHICLE. I AM NOT ABLE TO PAY FOR A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE NO CAR FOR WORK, FOR MY MOM/ DAD DOCTOR VISITS/ FOR SUPERMARKET/ FOR LIFE. COSTS OF REPAIR ARE ARE ABOVE $5,000. I WAS THE 2ND OWNER OF MY 2008 CIVIC & WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY HONDA OF THE WARRANTY EXTENSION OR OF A POSSIBLE RECALL NOTIFICATION OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I RECEIVED RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG (TEKATA), BUT DID NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING FOR A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. WHY IS THAT? HOW IS AMERICAN HONDA CORP. ALLOWED TO DO A "WARRANTY EXTENSION" TO RESOLVE A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE CRACKS & ONLY WHEN YOU NOTICE YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING, THESE VEHICLES CAN HAVE AN ENGINE FAILURE/ STALL WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS, INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH. AS A LIFELONG HONDA OWNER (20 YEARS '97 ACCORD AND '08 CIVIC) I AM BEYOND DISAPPOINTED. DISAPPOINTED NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT HONDA LEGAL DEPARTMENT DID VIA "LEGAL LOOP HOLES," NO. I'M DISAPPOINTED I WILL NEVER OWN OR DRIVE A HONDA AGAIN. GOOD DAY.

VEHICLE DIAGNOSED BY HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT WITH A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. DEALERSHIP REFERRED ME TO HONDA CORPORATION REGARDING WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR MANUFACTURING DEFECT ON ENGINE BLOCK. HONDA CORP DENIED ME ASSISTANCE BECAUSE VEHICLE AGE IS PAST THEIR 10 YEAR EXTENSION PERIOD. I'M SECOND OWNER ON THIS VEHICLE AND DIDN'T REALIZE THERE WAS A POTENTIAL ENGINE MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR (FIRST OWNER DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS). ESTIMATED KBB VALUE WAS $4500-5000 WHICH NOW IS A NEAR TOTAL LOSS AND SALVAGE VALUE. COST FOR REPAIR IS EQUAL OR HIGHER THAN RETAIL VALUE. VEHICLE HAS WELL DOCUMENTED SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE RECORD. SEEMS UNFAIR FOR THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT TO PLACE ALL THE COST ON THE OWNER WHEN THERE IS NO OWNER CAUSE FOR THIS PROBLEM.

ON MARCH 5TH 2020 WHILE DRIVING MY ENGINE ON MY 2008 CIVIC JUST DIED ON ME, UPON DOING RESEARCH I SAW THAT HONDA HAD A EXTENDED WARRANTY I CALLED ON MARCH 9TH 2020 TO SEE IF MY CAR WAS UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT WAS TOLD THAT I WAS 2 YEARS LATE & IT WAS ONLY SENT TO THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE CAR WHICH MADE NO SENSE...THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE & I AM OUT OF MONEY BECAUSE HONDA DOESN'T WANT TO ADDRESS ISSUES CORRECTLY...
Engine, Feb 25, 2020
CAR TEMPERATURE STARTED TO INCREASED RAPIDLY, SMOKE FROM ENGINE, REVVING BUT NOT ACCELERATING MUCH AND FINALLY IT OVERHEATED AND DIED. CAN TO FIND OUT THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED FROM RADIATOR LEAK THAT HONDA KNEW ABOUT AND DID NOT INFORM ME OF. MAINTENANCE DONE AT DEALERSHIP REGULARLY AND WAS THE ONLY OWNER OF CAR. BECAUSE I DRIVE SO LITTLE MILES PER YEAR, PROBLEM HAPPENED JUST AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY HAD TO 'RESOLVE' THIS PROBLEM FOR OWNERS. WHY WOULDN'T THEY TELL ME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THEY KNEW ABOUT IT. HAD TO MAKE TOO MANY PHONE CALLS TO FINALLY HAVE THEM REPLACE THE ENGINE FOR $3500. IT'S UNSCRUPULOUS FOR A CORPORATION TO KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM BUT JUST EXTEND THE WARRANTY AND NOT RECALL IT AND THEN NOT HONOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS JUST OUTSIDE THE TIME WINDOW. VERY DISPLEASED WITH HONDA.
Engine, Jan 30, 2020
2008 HONDA CIVIC GOT A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK 2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING. FOUND OUT THIS WAS A DEFECT THAT AFFECTED 2006-2009 HONDA CIVICS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS AND NOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. BEING THAT A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS THERE WAS SO MUCH SMOKE POURING OUT I COULD NOT SEE IN FRONT OF ME THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION ON THESE ENGINES. I WAS ON A CITY STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT IS HAPPENING OVER 100000 MILES TO MOST PEOPLE. BEING THAT MOST PEOPLE DRIVE 8000-10000 MILES A YEAR IT IS HAPPENING RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY ENDS FOR MOST. THIS IS NOT FAIR TO THE SAFETY OF US ALL. PLEASE RECALL !!
