2006 Honda Civic complaints

I HAVE CONTACTED CORPORATE HONDA AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TRYING TO GET INFORMATION PERTAINING TO A REAR WHEEL BEARING RECALL. CORPORATE HONDA'S RECORDS SHOW THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2008 BUT DO NOT HAVE RECORDS OF ANY PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED. ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS I AM EXPERIENCING ARE EXACTLY WHAT IS OUTLINED IN THE RECALL BUT I AM BEING LED IN CIRCLES TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED. IT IS FRIGHTENING TO DRIVE AND DUE TO FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS I CAN NOT RISK THE INSPECTION FEE THAT I AM BEING TOLD I WILL HAVE TO PAY. IF NO PARTS ARE ON RECORD FOR BEING REPLACED THEN THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF WITHOUT QUESTION. CORPORATE HONDA NOR MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS SHOWN ANY CONCERN FOR MY SITUATION WHILE APPEARING TO DISMISS MY CONCERNS.

LAST WEEK I WAS CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID ON MY HONDA CIVIC AND NOTICED COOLANT LEAKING AND TURNED OUT THAT MY ENGINE BLOCK IS CRACKED AND LEAKING COOLANT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND HONDA HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048. I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THIS. I CALLED HONDA AND TURNS OUT I WAS TOO LATE TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS SERVICE BULLETIN. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ERROR AND HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CORRECTED PART. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR OUT OF MY POCKET AND EVEN IF I CAN I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE CHEAPEST ROUT AND BUY A SECOND HAND ENGINE AND I WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. IF CAN GET ANY HELP FORM YOU WITH THIS IT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS SITUATION. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL BECAUSE THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER AND I ALSO USE IT FOR THE THE RIDE SHARING PLATFORM UBER. THE ENGINE MAY BLOW UP WHILE I'M DRIVING SO THIS IS NOT SAFE AND HONDA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS. THANK YOU

ON 11/15/2017, I BOUGHT THE ABOVE VEHICLE FROM CONDEMI MOTOR COMPANY. I NOTICED COOLANT SMELL. I OPENED ENGINE COVER. FIRST THING I FOUND THE ANTI-FREEZE RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY. I COOL THE RADIATOR AND TOPPED THE COOLANT ALSO THE RESERVOIR. THE NEXT DAY, I DROVE THE CAR AND OPENED THE HOOD. I FOUND A COOLANT LEAKAGE, SHOW IN THE PICTURES. I COOL DOWN THE RADIATOR AND THE COOLANT LEVEL WAS CLEARLY REDUCED. AS WELL RESERVOIR TANK.

WE TOOK THIS VEHICLE IN WHEN WE RECEIVED THE RECALL, I BELIEVE IN 2013. THEY STATED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH WE HAD NOISE, VIBRATION AND CONTROL ISSUES, WE HAD TO HAVE THE WHEEL BARRING REPLACED SUMMER OF 2017. ALL NOISE AND CONTROL PROBLEMS ENDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, WHEN SMOKE WAS SEEN COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. IN ADDITION, THE COOLANT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JERRY DAMSON HONDA LOCATED AT 2200 BOB WALLACE AVE SW, HUNTSVILLE, AL 35805 WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE COULD NOT BE REPLACED UNDER THE TEN-YEAR WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT

A KNOWN DEFECT - THE ENGINE BLOCK ON OUR 2006 HONDA CIVIC CRACKED WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. WE'VE OWNED THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND WERE NEVER ADVISED THAT THE CIVIC ENGINE BLOCK WAS PRONE TO THIS - OR WE WOULD HAVE NOT PURCHASED THE CAR. EVEN THOUGH HONDA "EXTENDED" THE WARRANTY FOR THIS KNOWN DEFECT, WE ARE OUT OF THE WARRANTY COVERAGE PERIOD - THUS LEFT TO FOOT THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING THE ENGINE ON OUR OWN. MY SON'S SAFETY WAS AT RISK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL NOT A WARRANTY EXTENSION. SHAME ON HONDA.

ENGINE HAS SIGNIFICANT BLOCKING ISSUES DUE TO MANUFACTUER'S ERROR CAUSING LEAKS AND SUPER HEATING THE CAR. CAR IS NOT DRIVEABLE WITH ONLY 82,000 MILES APPROXIMATELY. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THIS CAR WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2006.

2006 HONDA CIVIC WITH ONLY 44,326 MILES. LITTERALLY A 6,000 MILE A YEAR DRIVER. DRIVING DOWN THE STREET ABOUT 45 MPH FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WHEN I STARTED SMELLING THE SWEET SMELL OF COOLANT. PULLED OVER AND SAW THAT COOLANT WAS SPURTING OUT OF AN AREA SOUTH OF THE SPARK PLUGS ABOUT 6 INCHES DOWN ON THE ENGINE BLOCK. FILLED IT BACK UP WITH COOLANT AND MADE IT HOME. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR TEMP INCREASE UNTIL I MADE IT HOME. IF I WERE DOING 70 ON THE HIGHWAY, THE HEAT AND PRESSURE WOULD HAVE BLOWN IT ALL OUT AND MY ENGINE WOULD HAVE OVERHEATED. LOOKS LIKE A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK WITH ONLY 44K. COME TO FIND OUT, THAT HONDA SIMPLY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY INSTEAD OF DOING A RECALL. TOO BAD US SECOND OWNERS DIDN'T GET THE INFO.

MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX IS CAUSING EXCESSIVE, UNEVEN WEAR TO THE TIRES BECAUSE THE REAR CONTROL ARM CAUSES NEGATIVE CAMBER ON THE REAR TIRES. AS A RESULT, I REPLACE THE TIRES ONCE PER YEAR. IN ADDITION TO THE ADDED COST, THE CAR BECOMES UNSAFE AFTER A PERIOD OF DRIVING BECAUSE OF THE WEAR ON THE TIRE - CREATING CUPS AND BALD SPOTS ON THE TIRE WHICH COULD LEAD TO FAILURE OF THE REAR TIRES AND A LOSS OF CONTROL FOR THE DRIVER.

TSB 08-001 - REAR NEGATIVE CAMBER IS CAUSED BY THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM FOR BOTH REAR WHEELS. AS A RESULT, THE GEOMETRY OF THE WHEEL'S POSITION WILL CAUSE EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE REAR TIRES RESULTING IN BALD AND CUPPED TIRES. THIS WEAR CAN CAUSE EARLY FAILURE OF THE REAR TIRES AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR FOR THE DRIVER.

I HAVE A CRACK IN MY COOLANT SYSTEM IN THE ENGINE BLOCK ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC. IT WAS PART OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY (10-048), BUT I'M PAST THE EXTENDED 10 YEAR WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP!

I NOTICED 2 WEEKENDS AGO A PUDDLE OF COOLANT UNDER MY HONDA CIVIC. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED, ONLY TO FIND OUT THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AND THAT'S WERE THE LEAK IS COMING FROM. I WAS LUCKY TO FIND OUT BEFORE MY RADIATOR DRIED OUT, OTHERWISE MY CAR COULD HAVE OVERHEATED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND ME AND MY WHOLE FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN AN UNSAFE PLACE. HONDA ALREADY RECOGNIZED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE BLOCK OF THE 2006-2008 MODELS, SINCE THEY EVEN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FROM 8 TO 10 YEARS. MY CAR IS ALREADY 11 YEARS, BUT ONLY HAVE 105,000 MILES TO IT. I USED TO DRIVE A COMPANY VEHICLE, AND HAD ONLY BEEN USING MY CIVIC FOR SHORT TRIPS. IF MY CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN MY PRIMARY VEHICLE. THAT ENGINE BLOCK WOULD HAVE CRACKED BEFORE THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY WAS UP. SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I COULD SEE THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE AFFECTED BY THIS. I WAS QUOTED $5800 TO FIX THE ENGINE BLOCK THAT HONDA KNOWS IS DEFECTIVE. THAT'S THE SAME AS THE VALUE OF MY CAR. DRIVING THESE CARS PRESENT A SAFETY RISK TO THE PUBLIC, BOTH FOR THE DRIVER OF THE HONDA CIVIC AND THE OTHER DRIVERS AROUND HIM. HONDA SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON ALL ENGINE BLOCKS AFFECTED BY THESE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. NHTSA, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU.

MY HONDA CIVIC EX 2 DOOR LOOSES POWER THEN SPUTTERS IN OVER DRIVER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE THERMOSTAT GAUGE INCREASED TO A HIGH LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS. ONE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE OTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THERE WAS A PREMATURE CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THE ENGINE BLOCK FOR A10-048, WHICH SUPERSEDED 10-048. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE BOLT IN MY MOTOR KEEPS BREAKING OFF CAUSING MY ENGINE TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING.

DRIVING AND CAR OVERHEATED AND STOPPED. TOWED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND FOUND CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. ONLY 50,000 MILES ON CAR, LIKE NEW AND WELL MAINTAINED. NO RECALLS. WHEN INVESTIGATED ON LINE FOUND WELL DOCUMENTED DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND MATERIALS ON ENGINE BLOCK. THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE WOULD NOT HONOR THEIR SECRET WARRANTY. THERE WAS NO RECALLS ON THIS WELL DOCUMENTED DEFECTIVE CAR. I GUESS YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK, BUT IN THIS CASE, THEY KNEW IT WAS A DEFECTIVE MATERIAL DESIGN JUST WAITING TO IMPLODE!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V030000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF STATEN ISLAND (SERVICE MANAGER, JEFFERY PASENKOFF, 1232 HYLAN BLVD, STATEN ISLAND, NY 10305, 718-720-0075) WHERE THE AIR BAG RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THREE MONTHS LATER, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND WENT OFF. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE A COURTESY DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE "CURTAIN AIR BAG" FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

TAKATA RECALL COMPLAINT SUN VISORS FELL APART CAUSING HARM, INJURY

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE TODAY, AND MY MECHANIC FOUND IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. HE WAS STUNNED BECAUSE HE KNOWS I HAVE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF MY CAR, AND HE SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN THAT HAPPEN IN A HONDA. HE CALLED TWO OTHER MECHANICS OVER TO LOOK AT IT BECAUSE HE COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. THEY TOLD ME I HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG AND THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY A FLAW. ONE OF THE MECHANICS DID A SEARCH AND SURE ENOUGH FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS A FLAW THAT HONDA KNEW ABOUT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN LATE 2015, AND I HAD NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WE DISCOVERED THIS MORNING THAT BECAUSE OF THE FLAWED ENGINE, HONDA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON MY ENGINE TO 10 YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR MORE THAN 11 YEARS, SO THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT HELP ME. THEY ACTUALLY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE A PART THAT THEY PUT IN MY CAR THAT THEY KNOW IS FAULTY JUST BECAUSE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS. THE AGE OF THE CAR IS IRRELEVANT (ALTHOUGH, FOR THE RECORD, IT'S IN EXCELLENT CONDITION) WE CALLED HONDA HEADQUARTERS TWICE TODAY, AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING. THE ONLY RECOURSE THEY SUGGESTED IS CONTACTING THE BBB. WHEN WE TOLD THEM WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE, THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT HONDA DEALERSHIPS KNEW, BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN YEARS FOR SERVICE. SO, HE BASICALLY TOLD ME I MUST GET MY OIL CHANGED AT HONDA DEALERSHIPS IN ORDER TO LEARN ABOUT SECRET PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. I HAVE TAKEN EXCE

CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK HONDA WILL NOT REPAIR THIS KNOW DEFECT AND DID NOT ALERT ME OF THE DEFECT WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V030000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (LUNDGREN HONDA OF GREENFIELD, 409 FEDERAL ST, GREENFIELD, MA 01301) WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2016. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2017. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

AFTER TAKING THE CAR OUR 2006 HONDA CIVIC MODEL TO HONDA DEALER SERVICE FOR TSB 10-048 FOR (HONDA CIVIC 2006-2009 YEAR MODEL) DUE TO ENGINE COOLANT LEAK WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO OVERHEATS WHILE HE WAS DRIVING FROM HIS WORK, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS A VALID ENGINE DEFECT,BY HONDA TECHNICIAN - A CRACKED ON ENGINE BLOCK WAS THE CAUSED OF THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, SINCE WE BOTH THE CAR ORIGINALLY FROM THE SAME HONDA DEALER PLACE WITH THE DELIVERY DATE OF OCTOBER 2005. THEY CONSIDER THE CAR AS 11 YEARS OLD AND OUTSIDE THEIR 10 YEARS WARRANTY AND THE ONLY WARRANTY THE AMERICAN HONDA CORP WILL BE 50 PERCENT OF THE PARTS AND LABOR COST FOR REMOVING AND REPLACING AN ENGINE. MY POINT IS, ITS BECAUSE MY CAR MODEL BETWEEN WAS PURCHASED OCT 2005 AND NOT 2006 THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE A FULL WARRANTY COVERAGE THE MANUFACTURE DEFECT FROM THE COMPANY? OUR ENTIRE FAMILY AND HOUSEHOLD OWNS 5 HONDA CARS, 3 CIVICS, 1 ACCORD AND 1 CRV WITH THE TRUST ON THE PRODUCT THEY HAVE IN THE PAST. HOW CAN'T THEY MAINTAIN A GOOD QUALITY PRODUCT ON THE LINE. THIS IS THE 2ND CIVIC IN OUR HOUSEHOLD WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, OUR DAUGHTER'S 2008 HONDA CIVIC HAD THE THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE AT NO COST LAST SUMMER 2016. WHY CAN'T THEY FULLY COVER THIS ONE, WITH THE SAME ENGINE DEFECT JUST BECAUSE IT WAS PURCHASED 3 MONTHS SHY FROM THE DELIVERY DATE BEFORE 2006. HONDA WOULD LIKE US TO PAY $2000 FOR THEM TO PERFORM UNSCHEDULE REPAIR DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE THEY INSTALL ON THE CIVIC'S CAR BETWEEN (20

NEW OWNERS OF THE CAR AND WERE NEVER INFORMED OF A RECALL. NOW THE ENGINE BLOCK IS CRACKED AS STATED IN THE HONDA RECALL BUT ONLY ALLOWS REPAIRS ON CARS FOR UP TO 10 YEARS OLD. OUR CAR HAS JUST REACHED 11 YEARS OLD FROM SALE 1 MONTH AGO!

PAINT PEELING ALL OVER ROOF, HOOD, FENDERS, AND TRUNK LEAVING A WHITE FROST. LOOKS HORRIBLE. STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO ON THE HOOD AND HAS SLOWLY SPREAD ACROSS THE CAR WITH NO SIGNS OF STOPPING.

CRACK ENGINE BLOCK AS THE OTHER HONDAS FROM 2006 AND 2009

IN 2013 I BOUGHT A HONDA CIVIC 2006 FROM A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN LONG ISLAND. IN 2017 MY ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED. WE LATER CAME TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT ON THE CAR. WE NEVER KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT A WARRANTY OR A RECALL ALTHOUGH HONDA SAYS IT WASN'T A RECALL IT WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WE HAD NO IDEA, WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED. WE ARE 10 OVER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP THAT WASN'T HONDA AND BASICALLY NOW NOBODY WANTS TO HELP US DO ANYTHING. IT WILL BE AT LEAST $4,000 TO FIX THIS CAR WHICH WE DO NOT HAVE AND WE ARE BEYOND FRUSTRATED AND UPSET. ANY KIND OF RECOURSE YOU CAN GIVE US WOULD BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL THANK YOU.

ENGINE OVERHEATED WHEN DRIVING CAUSING DANGER TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD, WHEN CHECKED COOLANT NEAR EMPTY. NO LEAKING OF COOLANT WAS NOTED. DEALER TESTED ENGINE AND BLOCK CRACKED AT 93K. DEALER STATES THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT BY HONDA ON THIS MAKE AND YEAR BUT WILL NOT COVER.

THE CLEARCOAT/PAINT ON THE ROOF OF MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX, COLOR GALAXY GRAY IS PEELING AND WHITE SPOTS HAVE EMERGED. IT LOOKS TERRIBLE! I KEEP MY CAR VERY CLEAN AND WOULD LIKE THE DEFECT HANDLED APPROPRIATELY WHETHER THAT BE PAINTING OR WHATEVER.

AFTER DIVING MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC ABOUT 5 MILES, I COULD SMELL IT BURNING AND SEEN SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. NOTICE THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS HIGH AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START...HAD THE CAR TOWED TO HONDA WHERE I WAS TOLD THE WARRANT HAD EXPIRED... I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC, IT DEVELOPED A CRACKED ENGINE AT 120K MILES AND COOLANT LEAKED. ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA CIVIC WITH A WEAK POINT IN THEIR NEW ALUMINUM ENGINE WITH A WARRANTY ISSUED NUMBER 10-048. INITIALLY THE WARRANTY WAS ISSUED FOR 8 YEARS AND THEN INCREASED TO 10 YEARS. HOW EVER MY HONDA IS 11 YEARS OLD AND IN SPITE OF LOW MILEAGE HONDA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING. SHAME ON HONDA FOR PROVIDING A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND NOT FIXING IT

DRIVING AND ENGINE STARTED OVERHEATING. WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN I HAD TO PULL OVER, ADDED COOLANT AND THE NEXT DAY TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. WAS TOLD THERE IS A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR HONDA AS THERE WAS AN ISSUE IN THE MOLD THEY USED FOR CASTING. THEY DID OFFER AN ADDITIONAL 5 YEAR WARRANTY ON THIS PART BUT LOOKING ONLINE THESE PROBLEMS ARE APPEARING IN 11 OR 12 YEARS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A JUDGE WHO PASSED AWAY AND HIS SERVICE RECORDS WERE UP TO DATE AND THE CAR WAS IN GREAT CONDITION. HOWEVER N REVIEWING THE HONDA WEB SITE THIS ISSUE WAS NEVER MENTIONED. I WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO BE ON A HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE COULD HAVE BEEN BLOWN UP.

THE PAINT ON THE CAR IS FADING AND DEVELOPING LARGE WHITE SPOTS ON THE HOOD, ROOF AND TRUNK. IT IS GETTING WORSE AND SPREADING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE SUDDENLY INDICATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS HOT. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WAS NEARLY EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (RUSTY WALLACE HONDA IN KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE SHORT BLOCK CRACKED AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 167,000.

CRACKED HEAD

I TOOK MY WELL MAINTAINED HONDA CIVIC INTO A LOCAL MECHANIC TO REPAIR MY AIR CONDITIONING AND AFTER SPENDING $250 WAS INFORMED IT WASN'T A PROBLEM WITH THE AC, BUT THAT MY ENGINE BLOCK IS ACTUALLY CRACKED AND IS LEAKING COOLANT. MY 2006 HONDA HAS 142,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN RUNNING VERY WELL UP TO THIS POINT. APPARENTLY IF MY ENGINE BLOCK WOULD HAVE CRACKED 10 MONTHS AGO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER WARRANTY. BUT BECAUSE IT'S A 2006 AND THE WARRANTY ONLY LASTS FOR 10 YEARS I AM OUT OF LUCK. MY CAR THAT WAS WORTH $5000 TO $6000 A WEEK AGO IS NOW VALUED AT $0. I FEEL LIKE SOMEONE JUST STOLE MY CAR OR AT LEAST WRECKED IT. I HAVE CHECKED WITH MY HONDA DEALER AND HONDA CORP. NEITHER ARE WILLING TO HELP WITH A NEW ENGINE REPAIR, I REALIZE THAT MY CAR IS 11 YEARS OLD, BUT WHEN I PURCHASED THIS HONDA I FIGURED IT WOULD GO AT LEAST 250,000 MILES. THAT IS WHY I BOUGHT IT. I HESITATE REPAIRING THE CAR, WHICH WILL RUN ABOUT $1800 BECAUSE THE NEW ENGINE BLOCK COULD ALSO CRACK! HONDA KNOWS THERE IS AN ENGINE BLOCK PROBLEM, BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO RESOLVE IT.

I HAD JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 1 WEEK PRIOR AND WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IT STARTED SMOKING PROFUSELY THEN THE ENGINE SHUDDERED. BEING SCARED, I PULLED OVER RIGHT AWAY AND HAD IT TOWED. I FOUND OUT THE BLOCK CRACKED AND THIS IS HAPPENING ON MOST CIVICS OF THIS YEAR DUE TO FAULTY PARTS. I CALLED HONDA, THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T HELP AND ITS MY FAULT FOR BUYING AN ELEVEN YEAR OLD CAR! THIS IS A FAULT OF HONDA AND THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS IT

TSB 10-048. LOWER ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AND COOLANT LEAKED CAUSING ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND FAIL. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT DESCRIBED IN SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048 AS A RESULT OF HOW THE BLOCK WAS CAST. THE SERVICE BULLETIN EXTENDS WARRANTY OF THE ENGINE BLOCK TO 10 YEARS FROM THE PURCHASE DATE BUT MY 2006 CIVIC FALLS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY RANGE RIGHT NOW AND AMERICAN HONDA REFUSED TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT COST. THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT COST IS NOW WORTH MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE CAR. THE ISSUE HAPPENED JUST GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE HEAT GAUGE SHOT ALL THE WAY UP AND THE ENGINE SEIZED WITH WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT. THERE WERE NO INDICATORS ON THE DASH PRIOR TO THIS SO IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO NOTICE COOLANT LEAKING.

WHILE DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY ENGINE OVERHEATED WITH COOLANT LEAKING FROM A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK.

THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND IT WAS TOWED TO THE CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING ANTI-FREEZE FROM A FRACTURED ENGINE BLOCK. THE CERTIFIED MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK OR ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CERTIFIED MECHANIC REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER DUE TO THE RELATION TO MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: 10056874 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE BAILEY HONDA DEALER CONFIRMED THE DIAGNOSIS AND ITS RELATION TO THE MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: 10056874 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

MY CAR SUDDENLY LEAKED A LOT OF ANTIFREEZE. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED. A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MY MAKE/MODEL OF VEHICLE. WELL THIS WAS A SURPRISE TO ME. THIS HAPPENED SUDDENLY. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOT THE HIGHWAY. HONDA SAYS HAVE KNOW THE ORIGINAL ENGINE WAS FAULTY, BUT THAT I AM OUT OF LUCK REPAIR WISE. THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS AND NEVER NOTIFIED ME. (THEY CLAIM SINCE IT WAS NOT A RECALL THEY DID NOT HAVE TO) I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT HAS YET TO BE RECALLED!

HONDA HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 TO 2009 HONDA 1.8 LITER ENGINES INSTALLED IN THE CIVICS, THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKS AND WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THE REPLACEMENT. THE HONDA REP ADMITTED THAT THE BLOCK CASTINGS WERE FLAWED FOR THOSE THREE YEARS. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP EVEN WAS SURPRISED THAT HONDA DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE A COUPLE MONTHS BACK ON A LOAN AND EVENTUALLY FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MANUFACTURERS DEFECT FOR THE ENGINE BLOCK AND HELD A TEN YEAR PERIOD OF GETTING A NEW ONE AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET A ONE BECAUSE I HAVE ISSUES PERTAINING TO IT BY EVERYPLACE I GO TO EVEN HONDA SAYS I MY CAR WASN'T ON THE LIST OF RECALLS EVEN WHEN I SHOWED THEM PROOF AND NOW I'M PASSED THE DEADLINE AND STILL HAVE NO SOLUTIONS. SOON I'LL BE STUCK PAYONG A CAR LOAN FOR A CAR I CAN'T USE BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET TO HELP I NEEDED WHEN IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY HAS 156000 MILES NOW

I WOULD LIKE THE RECALLS TO BE DONE OM MY CAR DUE TO SAFTEY ISSUES BECAUS3 I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS EVEN DONE AT LEAST I KNOW WITH ME IT HASN'T AND I WASN'T INFORMED AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF WHAT SHOULD OF BEEN FIXED AND HASNT

THE PAINT BEGAN TO PEEL AWAY FROM THE CAR ABOUT 1.5 YEARS AGO. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. CAR LOOKS HORRIBLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 65 MPH, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DISPLAYED A HIGH READING AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOUSE AND THEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK HAD CRACKED AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

THE CIVIC HAS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. WITHOUT ANY WARNING IT SUDDENLY RAN HOT LAST WEEK (OF COURSE LATE AT NIGHT ON A HIGHWAY). WE HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THIS MODEL AND THAT HONDA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS, BUT WE ARE NOW 1 YEAR OUT OF THAT WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP SAID TO CONTACT HONDA OF AMERICA. HOA SAID TO CONTACT DEALERSHIP. SO WE ARE GETTING THE RUNAROUND. TWO SMALL REPAIR SHOPS AREN'T EVEN ABLE TO DO THE REPAIR. HONDA NEEDS TO HELP US GET THIS REPAIRED AT NO COST OR A VERY LOW COST.

I OWN A 2006 HONDA CIVIC WITH 99,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF MY ENGINE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. THE INSIDE OF THE CAR HAD A STRONG DISGUSTING SMELL. I GOT THE CAR CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A CRACK ON THE ENGINE BLOCK. I DID RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT. HONDA TOOK NOTICE OF THE DEFECT AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE CAR. THE DOWNFALL, HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ONLY UP TO 8 YEARS AFTER THE PURCHASE DATE. I AM A SECOND OWNER AND HAD NO IDEA THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE; HAD I KNOWN I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE CRACKED AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED AND NOW HONDA IS SAYING THAT I MUST BARE ALL COSTS EVEN THOUGH I AM A SECOND OWNER. THIS IS NOT RIGHT BECAUSE IT IS NOT MY FAULT THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED. HONDA SHOULD STILL COVER THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT IS A DEFECT ON THEIR PART.

CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO HONDA, AND THE OFFER A 10 YEAR WARRANTY ON IT, BUT AFTER 10 YEARS THEY BASICALLY TELL YOU SORRY YOU'RE OUT OF LUCK. HOW CAN THEY DO THIS WHEN THE ENGINES THEY MADE WERE FAULTY?

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC, IT DEVELOPED A CRACKED ENGINE AT 110K MILES AND COOLANT LEAKED. ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA CIVIC WITH A WEAK POINT IN THEIR NEW ALUMINIUM ENGINE WITH A WARRANTY ISSUED NUMBER 10-048. INITIALLY THE WARRANTY WAS ISSUED FOR 8 YEARS AND THEN INCREASED TO 10 YEARS. HOW EVER MY HONDA IS 11 YEARS OLD AND INSPITE OF LOW MILEAGE HONDA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING. SHAME ON HONDA FOR PROVIDING A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND NOT FIXING IT.
