ENGINE BLOCK CRACKS AND LEAKING COOLANT. OUR 2007 HONDA CIVIC STARTED LEAKING FLUID ON 12/27/2017. THIS CAUSE TEMPERATURE TO BECOME RED WITH WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE FRONT HOOD WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND 3 MONTH BABY. IT LOOKS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. WE FOUND OUT HONDA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS TO 10 YEARS BECAUSE OF KNOWN DEFECTS. UNFORTUNATELY, I EXPERIENCED THE DEFECT 14 MONTHS AFTER MY CIVIC'S 10 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. HONDA CORPORATE AND OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT WILLING TO HONOR AND FIX THIS DEFECT. THE WANT TO CHARGE $5,000 TO FIX IT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS SO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS. A CAR SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT 11 YEARS OLD AND REQUIRE $5,000 REPAIR, AND POSE A RISK OF ENDANGERING A FAMILY WITH A NEWBORN SAFETY.

I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES FOR THE SECOND TIME ON THIS CAR. THE CAR IS EXPIRING UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. THIS DOES EFFECT BRAKING OF THE CAR AS WELL. HONDA HAS ADMITTED THAT THE REAR CONTROL ARM IS TO SHORT EFFECTING SUSPENSION AND TIRE WEAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE VISIBLE PART OF MY TIRE LOOKED FINE, PLENTY OF TREAD AND ABOUT 38000 ON A 90000 MILE TIRE. THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE WAS SO WORN IT ACTUALLY HAD A HOLE WORN IN IT. THIS WEAR ISSUE COULD CAUSE A TIRE TO FAIL WHILE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. PLEASE HELP THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES GET A RECALL FROM HONDA BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT. *TR

SHORTLY BEFORE THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY I BEGAN TO NOTICE ISSUES WITH THE PAINT JOB. THE PAINT BEGAN TO DEVELOP LARGE AREAS ON THE ROOF, HOOD, FENDERS, AND SEVERAL OTHER AREAS OF THE CAR THAT WERE EXTREMELY FADED WITH THE CLEAR COAT TOTALLY WEARING THROUGH. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEARLERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL BACK IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS WHEN A REGIONAL REP. WOULD BE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR HIM TO EXAMINE. I CALLED BACK AND WAS ASKED IF I COULD BRING THE CAR DOWN THAT DAY, LUCKILY I WORK ONLY A FEW MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR DOWN. WHEN I GOT THERE MY SERVICE ADVISOR TOOK THE CAR FOR THE "REGIONAL" GUY TO HAVE A LOOK. ABOUT 40 MINUTES LATER MY SERVICE ADVISOR CAME BACK TO THE SERVICE LOUNGE TO TELL ME THAT, ACCORDING TO THE "REGIONAL" GUY, WHO I NEVER MET, SAID THAT IT WAS QUOTE, "ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES" THAT CAUSED THE ISSUES WITH THE PAINT JOB AND SUGGESTED THAT KEEPING THE CAR OUT OF THE SUN ( IN FLORIDA !!!! ) WOULD HELP. IN AN EFFORT TO RETAIN ME AS A CUSTOMER, SINCE BOTH MYSELF AND MY WIFE HAVE BOUGHT HONDAS FROM THAT DEALERSHIP, THEY WOULD MAKE AN OFFER TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE PAINT JOB AND THAT THEY WOULD REPAINT AND MY HALF OF THE BILL WOULD ONLY BE $1200.00 !!!!! NEEDLESS TO SAY I TURNED THEIR OFFER DOWN AND WILL SIMPLY NEVER EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA NOR WILL ANYONE ELSE IN MY FAMILY !!!!!! *TR

HONDA CIVIC SUN VISORS, SPLIT, BREAK AND LOSE THEIR ABILITY TO STAY FIXED WHILE DRIVING. I'M IN NEED IN REPLACING MY 3RD SUN VISOR. THE VISORS ON THE HONDA CIVIC DROPS AND OBSTRUCTS A CLEAR VIEW WHEN DRIVING AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. HONDA DEALERS TELL CONSUMERS THAT IT'S DUE TO HEAT IN THE AREA WHERE I LIVE, BUT THERE ARE MANY WEBSITES LISTING COMPLAINTS FROM WITH OTHER HONDA OWNERS WHO LIVE IN AN AREAS WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES. REGARDLESS OF WHERE ONE RESIDES, I AM UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR WITH FEAR THAT THE VISOR WILL DROP WITHOUT WARNING, STARTLE ME AND OBSTRUCT MY VIEW. HOW DOES ONE GET THROUGH TO THE HONDA MANUFACTURER THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT MUST BE RESOLVED, NOT JUST REPLACED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. *TR

HONDA HAS PRODUCED FAULTY ENGINE BLOCKS ON CIVIC MODELS FROM 2006-2009 THAT TEND TO CRACK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL ON A HIGHWAY AND LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. HONDA EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY FROM 7 TO 10 YEARS INSTEAD OF ISSUING A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THEY SOLD A FAULTY PRODUCT. ON TUESDAY, OCT 27TH 2020, DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE CAR TEMPERATURE GAUGE MAXED OUT AND SHAKING WAS FELT AS IF THE CAR WAS GOING TO STALL. LUCKILY, THIS OCCURRED COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND NEAR MY RESIDENCE AND NOT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE THE CAR COULD HAVE STALLED AND CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA SERVICE CENTER THE FOLLOWING DAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK HAD CRACKED. THE ENGINE CRACKING WAS THE REASON THE CARS WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS BUT THE EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY TO MY VEHICLE HAS EXPIRED. HONDA HAS QUOTED ME $6,395.40 TO REPLACE A KNOWN FAULTY ENGINE BLOCK. I BELIEVE A FAULTY ENGINE BLOCK CREATES AN UNSAFE CONDITION TO ALL DRIVERS AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY HONDA BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

THE CARS COOLANT AND OIL KEPT MIXING AND THE COOLANT WOULD QUICKLY DEPLETE AND LEAK OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR, THE ENGINE WOULD ALSO HEAT TO THE MAXIMUM TEMP ON THE ENGINE IF I DID NOT CONSTANTLY FILL MY COOLANT. I WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE TO GET THIS CHECKED OUT AND IT WAS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK, I FOUND OUT THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THIS EXACT YEAR AND ISSUE BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED FOR SOME REASON! I FEAR ONE DAY MY CAR WILL BLOW UP ON ME AND HONDA SHOULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE.

ON OCTOBER 28, 2020, I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET TO WORK, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP AND SAW A BRIGHT FLASH. ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME COME THEN AFTER A SECOND EVERYTHING SHUT OFF. THE CAR STOPPED, BUT STILL ROLLING I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR, BUT I COULDN'T. THE LOCKS WOULD NOT MOVE, ON EITHER DOOR. NOT MANUALLY. I WAS TRAPPED INSIDE. THANK GOODNESS THE CAR DIDN'T START A FIRE, BECAUSE I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT. NOT BY OPENING THE DOORS MANUALLY. THE METAL POLE THAT HOLDS THE HOOD UP CAME LOOSE SOMEHOW AND HIT THE BATTERY, WHICH MADE A SHORT AND SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN. REGARDLESS, THE CAR SHOULD UNLOCK MANUALLY IF THE POWER LOCKS DON'T WORK. I COULDN'T UNLOCK FROM INSIDE BY PULLING THE HANDLE OR THE LOCKS WOULD NOT MOVE/OPEN.

MY AUNT, PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2007. SHE DIED IN 2015 AND OUR MOTHER PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THE ESTATE. AFTER THE PURCHASE WE SAW THE RE-CALL AND 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CAR BECAUSE OF "ENGINE BLOCK CRACKING". WE TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALER WHO SAID THAT SINCE THERE WAS NO COOLANT LEAKING, THERE WAS NO CRACK IN THE BLOCK AND HE COULD NOT FIX A CAR THAT WAS NOT IN NEED OF REPAIR. THE CARE HAD 70,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. MY MOM DIED THIS FEBRUARY AND WE AGAIN PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THE ESTATE. IT HAD 75,000 MILES ON IT. LAST WEEK, THE ENGINE BLOCK STARTED LEAKING AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN ENGINE BLOCK CRACK, AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WE COULD DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT HAD EXCEEDED THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR ONLY HAD 79,000 MILES ON IT. HONDA SHOULD HAVE MADE A 10 YEAR AND 100,000 MILE EXTENSION. WE WERE PENALIZED BECAUSE WE ARE LOW MILEAGE DRIVERS. THIS IS VERY UNFAIR AND SHOULD CONSIDER A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE. ANY ADVICE OR GUIDANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU, [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

MY HONDA CIVIC HAS COMPLETELY OVERHEATED THREE TIMES TO THE POINT OF NEEDING TO REPLACE THE HEAD GASKET, WATER PUMP, RADIATOR AND COILS. ONCE WAS IN 2014, AGAIN IN 2018 AND NOW IN 2020. IT IS NOW DISCOVERED THE CAUSE OF ALL THESE OVER HEATING PROBLEMS OVER THE YEARS WAS DUE TO A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK WHICH THERE WAS A 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE. I TOOK MY CIVIC INTO BRANDON HONDA IN FLORIDA ON MARCH 5TH, 2016 AND NOTHING WAS SAID OR DONE RELATING TO THE ISSUE OF THE CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK WHICH HONDA HAD BEEN FULLY AWARE OF SINCE AT LEAST 2014 WHERE IT WAS STATED ON CONSUMER REPORTS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION TWICE, ONCE ON A HIGHWAY AND IT WAS DUE TO THE ENGINE OVER HEATING EVERY TIME; BOTH SITUATIONS PUT MYSELF AND VEHICLE IN DANGER. I MAINTAINED MY RADIATOR AS WELL AS WATER PUMP AND HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED EACH TIME SO CLEARLY THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM WAS THE CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK.

UPON REPLACING REAR ROTOR'S AND BRAKES I DISCOVERED THAT THE MOUNTING POINT FOR THE REAR TRAILING ARM WAS RUSTED OUT AND NOT REPLACEABLE. UPON INVESTIGATION THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL, AND CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL WITH HONDA CANADA, BUT NOT IN THE US. THE CAR HAS BEEN MAKEING NOISES WHILE IN MOTION AND BREAKING SO I ASSUMED IT WAS RUST BUILD UP ON MY CALIPER MOUNT BRACKET. SADLY ITS A POOR DESIGN THAT HONDA WONT ADMIT THAT NORTHERN STATES THAT USE SALT THIS IS A KEY POINT ISSUE. IVE BEEN DRIVING MY DAUGHTER AROUND IN THIS.

THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED A COOLANT LEAK DUE TO A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. THIS VEHICLE CAN NO LONGER BE DRIVEN AND WHILE IT IS IN OTHERWISE EXCELLENT CONDITION, REPAIRS ARE ECONOMICALLY UNFEASIBLE. THIS IS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX WITH THE R18 ENGINE. IT HAS A CLEAN TITLE AND I AM THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER. THERE HAVE BEEN A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF SIMILAR FAILURES IN THE 2007, 2008 AND 2009 MODEL YEAR HONDA CIVICS WITH THIS ENGINE DUE TO BAD METALLURGY AND WEAK CASTING DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. HONDA KNOWS THAT THESE ARE DEFECTIVE ENGINES AS THEY CREATED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048 IN RESPONSE TO THESE FAILURES. THEY DID NOT HOWEVER ISSUE A RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE THIS FAILURE COULD OCCUR IN HIGHWAY DRIVING CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND SEIZE AND THE DRIVER COULD THEREFORE POTENTIALLY BE UNABLE TO LEAVE THE ACTIVE TRAFFIC LANES. REGARDLESS, EVEN IF THE DRIVER COULD MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER, THAT IS NOT A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION JUST AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY. THERE ARE MANY EXAMPLES OF SIMILAR FAILURES ON VARIOUS OWNER GROUP WEBSITES.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE RISE QUICKLY PAST IT'S NORMAL RANGE. I QUICKLY GOT OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP AND THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO FLUID IN THE RADIATOR. HE DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A SMALL CRACK. HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH 2007 CIVICS. HE TOLD ME I COULD PUT ANOTHER MOTOR IN IT OR BUY ANOTHER CAR. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND I HAD EVERY INTENTION TO KEEP IT FOR SEVERAL MORE YEARS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT HONDA DID NOT INFORM ME OF THE DEFECTS IN THE ENGINE.

AS MANY OF THE OTHER PEOPLE, I HAVE A LEAKING COOLANT CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK DUE TO POOR CASTING, THUS RESULTING IN THE CAR TO DANGEROUSLY OVERHEAT. I HAVE VISITED A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED IT IS A FAULTY PROBLEM AMONG MANY CIVICS MANUFACTURED THAT GENERATION. THE PROBLEM OTHERS AND I ENCOUNTER IS THE FACT THAT THE CAR EXCEEDS THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY. TO MAKE THE DILEMA WORSE, THE HONDA MANUFACTURING COMPANY DOES GUARANTEE FULL RECOMPENSATION. THEY SUGGEST FOR ONE TO GO IN FOR $100 + INSPECTION THAT DOES NOT COMPLETELY GUARANTEE AID. THE PROBLEMS I ENCOUNTER INCLUDE: AN ONGOING LEAK OF DANGEROUS COOLANT LIQUIDS WHILE DRIVING/PARKED, EXCESSIVE OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING, AND THE TEAR DOWN OF PARTS(COILS, CYLINDERS, AND SPARK PLUGS) DUE TO UNSTABLE/WORRISOME HIGH TEMPERATURES. I HAVE OVERLOOKED MANY FORUMS AND THREADS OF UNHAPPY HONDA DRIVERS THAT ARE ENCOUNTERING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE. THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOUND HERE HAVE INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY IN RECENT DAYS. I PLEAD/BEG FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE! MANY OF THE PEOPLE ENCOUNTERING THIS PROBLEM ARE OF LOW INCOME, FEW OF WHICH CANNOT AFFORD REPAIR COSTS AND/OR PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE; WE PURCHASE THESE TYPE OF CARS FOR THEIR SO-CALLED RELIABILITY. IN MY CASE, I AM A UNIVERSITY STUDENT WHO VITALLY NEEDS A SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. ONE MAY ARGUE THAT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS THE SOLUTION, BUT THAT LIMITS MY POSSIBILITY FRONTIER AS I ALSO HAVE TO WORK; PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION COSTS TIME ONE COULD BE USING ELSEWHERE. TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT THIS DEFECT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO THE PUBLIC. THERE IS HIGH CORRELATION BETWEEN ENGINE OVERHEATING AND ACCIDENTS THAT ARE WORRISOME.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY ROAD, THE VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING WHILE I WAS INSIDE, IT WAS SO SCARY. I'M LUCKY THAT I'M ALIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY HONDA WITH A CRACKED ENGINE. HONDA WAS FULLY AWARE OF THE ENGINE BLOCK LEAK ISSUE BACK IN 2013. INSTEAD OF OFFERING A TOTAL RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE FOR ALL THE RUNNING CIVICS, THEY SIMPLY OFFERED A 10 YEAR WARRANTY, IN CASE THE PROBLEM SURFACES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND AUTHORITIES SHOULD INVESTIGATE HOW HONDA IS HANDLING THESE COMPLAINTS. THEY REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND STAND BY THEIR CUSTOMERS.
