ENGINE
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.

DRIVING TO WORK ON EXPRESSWAY WHEN ENGINE BEGAN BUCKING AND LOSING POWER. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET OFF ROAD AND GET TO A SERVICE CENTER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED A LATERAL CRACK IN THE BLOCK. THE CAR HAS 84,100 MILES ON ODOMETER AND IS IN OTHERWISE EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE COSTS $7,600 AND I HAVE PAID FOR IT. LOOKING FOR GUIDANCE ON SOME RECOVERY FROM HONDA. THANK YOU.

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.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
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.
