MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WITH THE HONDA CIVIC 07 WHEN IT STARTED TO OVERHEAT. LUCKILY HE WAS CLOSE TO THE HOUSE AND WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED OVER OUR OWN MECHANIC TO INSPECT. HE STATED THE ENGINE BLOCK IS CRACKED AND ITS LEAKING. HE ADVISED US TO GO TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THIS. NEXT MORNING WE BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP OPEN ROAD HONDA EDISON NJ AND SAID THEY WILL DO A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT TO DETERMINE IF IS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. AND IT WAS. WARRANTY EXTENSION 10-048 STATES HONDA IS ONLY GOING TO PAY THE REPAIR IF IT IS WITHIN 10 YEARS FORM ORIGINAL PURCHASE. WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED 4/2017. ALMOST 3 YEARS OUT OF WARRANTY. I TOLD THEM THIS CAR IS SERVICED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP AND I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA ABOUT THIS 10 YEAR EXTENSION WARRANTY. THEY WANTED ME TO PAY 5K FOR REPAIR. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND NO AMOUNT OF MAINTENANCE IS GOING TO AVOID THIS. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND GAVE ME A CASE #. INITIALLY THEY SAID 10% THAT WENT TO 15% AND FINALLY 20% IS THE ONLY PERCENTAGE THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR. IT LEAVES ME WITH $3900 TO PAY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. HONDA IS PROTECTING ITSELF FROM PAYING WHEN THEY SHOULD BE AT LEAST EXTENDED THE WARRANTY WITH SPECIFICS FOR OWNERS WHO ARE OUT OF WARRANTY AND UNFORTUNATELY THEIR ENGINE BLOCK BROKE. I

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.

AT 110,000 MILES, MY CAR DEVELOPED A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. I WAS PARKED AND NOTICED COOLANT LEAKING FROM MY CAR. MY CAR WAS TOWED BY AAA TO KEYES HONDA AND DIAGNOSED. IT WAS FOUND THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THIS MAJOR DEFECT AND DID NOT INFORM CONSUMERS. INSTEAD, THEY QUIETLY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BY ONE YEAR INSTEAD OF ISSUING A RECALL. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, IT WAS FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE REPAIR COST IS $5-6000. AMERICAN HONDA WILL ONLY PAY A VERY SMALL PORTION, LEAVING THE BULK OF THE COST TO THE CONSUMER.

THE VEHICLE UNPREDICTABLY LEAKED COOLANT AND THE ENGINE BLOCK IS NOW CRACKED. THE CAR IS USELESS. HAD TO TOW IT 100 MILES ONLY TO BE TOLD BY HONDA THAT THIS IS MY PROBLEM. IT IS NOW OUT OF THE 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL WHICH IS WHY HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN OUTRIGHT RECALL - THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT DESPITE THEIR FAULTY MANUFACTURING.

ENGINE
CRACKED AND LEAKING ENGINE BLOCK WITH ONLY 72K MILES ON VEHICLE. WE HAD THE FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE WHEN IT STARTED TO SMOKING HEAVILY, WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING EXTREME VISIBILITY PROBLEMS AS WELL AS A HORRIBLE SMELL. THIS ALSO CAUSED OTHER VEHICLES AROUND US TO REACT. WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THE TIME. TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP THE VERY NEXT MORNING, AND BY LATE AFTERNOON, WERE TOLD IT HAS A CRACKED AND LEAKING ENGINE BLOCK. THERE HAS BEEN A VERY CLEAR AND NOTED PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE'S ENGINE BLOCK AND, HAD THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AGO, THEY WOULD HAVE REPLACED IT AT NO CHARGE TO US AS LOYAL CUSTOMERS. WE ARE WITHOUT A SAFE VEHICLE, WHILE HONDA HAS HAD MANY MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS OF CIVICS FROM THESE YEARS. OURS ONLY HAS 72,000 MILES, IS MAINTAINED PROPERLY AND ALWAYS AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP. IT IS A COMMUTER ONLY VEHICLE, FOR THE MOST PART. PLEASE HELP US, AS WELL AS ALL THESE OTHER OWNERS I HAVE RESEARCHED, WHO ARE ALSO SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES OF HONDA NOT DOING THE PROPER THING WITH THEIR ENGINE BLOCK ISSUES! WE ALL LOOK TO YOU FOR SUPPORT AND TO MAKE SURE MANUFACTURERS ARE HELD TO THE STANDARD IN WHICH YOU SET FOR THEM. THEY WANT TO CHARGE US THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR A VEHICLE THAT HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM DOCUMENTED. NOTHING LIKE HAVING A VETERAN'S CAR SMOKE OUT IN TRAFFIC ON ACTUAL VETERAN'S DAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, ENERGY AND EFFORT.
