I HAD DEER HIT ON I-80 WEST AT MILE STONE 294.2. IN PENNSYLVANIA. MY SPEED WAS 55 MPH I HIT BRAKES BUT DESPITE THAT CAR HIT DEER AND COMPLETELY DAMAGED. DESPITE SUCH A ACCIDENT NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG WAS INFLATED. IN 2015 I GOT LETTER OF RECALL FROM HONDA ON AIR BAG. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THEY FIXED IT. BUT IN ACCIDENT NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG WAS INFLATED. VEHICLE IS TOTALED. HONDA HAS COMPROMISED SAFETY OF VEHICLE AND PUT MY LIFE AT RISK.
ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AT 99,000 MILES. COOLANT LEAKING.
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON
COOLANT LEAK BEHIND O2 SENSOR IN THE BLOCK OF R18. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 122,000 MILES SUPER LOW MILEAGE AND BELIEVED TO HAVE A LEAKING HEAD GASKET. *TR
THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHT IS ON AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I FEEL VERY UNSAFE AND UNSTABLE IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND THE OTHER PEOPLE PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS MATTER THANK YOU. *TR
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
THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF THE CAR, ALL OVER THE CAR WHICH ISN'T NORMAL...IT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND LOOKS TERRIBLE
THE PASSENGER VISOR WILL NOT GO BACK UP AND HANGS DOWN WHICH COULD HAVE AN EFFECT IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS, THE VISOR MIGHT SNAP IF IT IS FORCED BACK UP AND VISIBILITY COULD BE A PROBLEM IF THE SUN COMES IN THAT WAY. I HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS FOR DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE VISOR IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS TURNING ON ALL ROADS
BURNT WIRE SMELL AND SMOKE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL.
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.
MY ENGINE BLOCK IS CRACKED. I KNOW THAT SEVERAL YEAR MODELS OF THE HONDA CIVIC HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT; THE 2007 YR MODEL AS IS MINE INCLUDED. MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL BUT IT HAS THE SAME DEFECT AS THE OTHERS THAT WERE RECALLED. I WOULD LIKE FOR MINE TO BE REPLACED. THE PICTURES INCLUDED SHOW WHERE THE WATER/ANTIFREEZE MIXTURE HAS LEAKED OUT AND DRIED ON. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN SEVERAL MONTHS BECAUSE OF THIS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN APPROXIMATELY LATE 2015.
CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK, RANDOM OVERHEATING, MAJOR COOLANT LOSS, EMERGENCY PULLOVER
44,000 MILES ON VEHICLE AND DIAGNOSED AT HONDA DEALER THAT ENGINE BLOCK IS CRACKED! MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WITH UNPUBLICIZED SAFETY BULLETIN 10-048 WILL NOT REPAIR.
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.
UNFORTUNATELY IT IS THE SECOND TIME IT BRAKES THE ENGINE MOUNTS. I HAVE HEARD THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I THINK IT IS A FACTORY PROBLEM.
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 US
I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND I NOTICED COOLANT LEAKAGE RESULTING IN ENGINE OVERHEATING.
WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IT HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. IT WAS FIXD, BUT YESTERDAY THE CAR DIED ON FREEWAY AND TEMP GUAGE SHOT UP. AFTER LOOKING AT OIL DIPSTICK, IT WAS COMPLETELY GONE. IT MELTED. I HAD AN OIL CHANGE ON THE 14TH. COULD THEY HAVE FORGOT TO PUT NEW OIL IN? WHAT WOULD CAUSE MY CAR TO JUST DIE?
THE CAR OVERHEATED SUDDENLY. THE ENGINE BLOCK HAS A CRACK. 134K MILES. WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE. PERFECTLY GOOD ENGINE CRACKED.
WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THE CAR STARTED FUMING WITH WHITE SMOKE AND IT GOT INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE CAR AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS AT 100% ALL OF A SUDDEN AND HAD TO PULL THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER. IT IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND HONDA HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048. BUT I WAS NEVER MAILED ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WHEN CONTACTED HONDA MENTIONED THEY DO NOT HAVE TO UPDATE ME EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. HONDA REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN REALLY RUDE AND DID NOT REPLY OR RAKE MY CALL FOR MORE THAN 10 DAYS TO REPLY ABOUT MY CASE. INSTEAD WHEN SHE CALLED SHE MENTIONED THAT ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT COVER IT.
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.
CAR BEGAN LEAKING ANTIFREEZE FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. HONDA ADMITS THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AS WELL AS OTHERS BUT REFUSES TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. I HAVE APPEALED WITH AMERICAN HONDA TO NO AVAIL. THEY DO NOT CARE BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUTSIDE OF ITS WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THEY WILL ADMIT THAT THE ENGINE IS A DEFECT BY HONDA. CAR WAS PARKED AT THE TIME, HAS NO DAMAGES, AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED.
I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC ON 8/17/19 WHEN I NOTICED MY VEHICLE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INCREASING AT A FAST RATE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND FOUND OUT THAT MY CAR DIDN'T HAVE ANY COOLANT. THINKING THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM, COOLANT WAS FILLED IN THE RADIATOR AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME. HOWEVER, LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, THE CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT ONCE AGAIN. AFTER INSPECTION, MY CAR WAS OUT OF COOLANT AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR TO ED NAPLETON HONDA IN OAK LAWN ON 8/26/19 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CYLINDER BLOCK WAS CRACKED AND WAS CAUSING A LEAK OF THE COOLANT WHICH CAUSES OVERHEATING IN VEHICLES. ALTHOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN HONDA CIVIC MODELS 2006-2009, I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA ISSUED TWO WARRANTY EXTENSIONS FOR UP TO 10 YEARS AND THAT MY CAR WAS TWO YEARS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. BECAUSE I'M THE ORIGINAL AND SOLE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WITH GREAT MAINTENANCE HISTORY, THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE MANAGER SUBMITTED A GOODWILL REQUEST TO HONDA CORPORATE ASKING FOR THE COST OF REPAIR TO BE COVERED. HOWEVER, THE REQUEST WAS DENIED BY THE REGIONAL HONDA DISTRICT PARTS AND SERVICE MANAGER. I ESCALATED THE SITUATION TO HONDA CORPORATE AND FOUND OUT FROM A CUSTOMER SERVICE SPECIALIST THAT HONDA DID NOT SEND THE LETTER INFORMING ME OF THE DEFECT AND WARRANTY EXTENSION TO MY CORRECT ADDRESS. FURTHERMORE, IT WAS NOT AN ADDRESS THAT I HAD EVER PROVIDED TO HONDA. AFTER ESCALATING MY ISSUE TO THE REGIONAL CASE MANAGER, I WAS STILL REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE. THERE ARE OVER 300 COMPLAIN
THE ENGINE BLOCKS HAS A CRACKED,THE ANTIFREEZE IS LEAKING.
MY CAR OVERHEATED. IT ONLY HAS 97000 MILES ON IT. GUESSING IT'S A ENGINE BLOCK ISSUE, CAUSE MECHANIC CAN NOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE AND IT KEEPS OVERHEATING,EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING ELSE IS OK
NHTSA RECALL # 16V346 WAS ISSUED ON JULY 20, 2016 TO REPLACE FAULTY AIRBAGS THAT SPLIT ON IMPACT. THIS NOTICE ONLY REPLACED THE PASSAGE SIDE AIR BAG. I ASSUMED THE DRIVERS SIDE WOULD BE REPLACED AT A LATER DATE BUT AS YET HAVEN'T RECEIVED A NOTICE. ACCORDING TO THE HONDA AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL CENTER, MAILED NOTIFICATION TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS AIRBAG WILL BEGIN IN APRIL 2019, BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN, 90 YRS OLD AND STILL DRIVING INDEPENDENTLY. AN IMPACT WITH A FAULTY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WOULD BE DEVASTATING AND POSSIBLY FATAL. THIS IS MY FORMAL CLAIM TO HAVE MY DRIVERS AIRBAG REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU.
TAKATA RECALL HI I AM HAVING SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION NOT WANTING TO TURN FOR SEVERAL MOMENTS AFTER PUTTING THE KEY INSIDE TO START MY 2007 HONDA XIVIC LX SEDAN AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE LIGHTS AND POWER TO THE DOORS AND WINDOWS WORK BUT CAR WON'T ROLL OVER TO START. THE CAR HAS BEEN FLASHING A WRENCH LIKE BAR ALONG WITH WHAT LOOKS LIKE SHAPE OF THE MOTOR FOR 2 MONTHS AS WELL AD I'VE JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE DONE 4 DAYS AGO BUT YET IT STILL READS OIL LIFE 5% B1 ON THE DASH WHICH WON'T CLEAR NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH SPARK PLUS OR ANYTHING ELSE UNDER HOOD FROM VALVOLINE'S STAND POINT WHEN CHECKED OTHER THAN WIPERS DON'T NEVER WANT TO SHUT OFF AS WELL.

WHEN DRIVING ON A CITY STREET CAR LOST POWER AND WON'T GO AT MORE THAN 20 ML/HR AND WAS OVERHEATING ,HAVE IT CHECKED AND FOUND A CRACK ON ENGINE BLOCK,
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WAS REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE VISOR FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 244,000.
MY 07 CIVIC DEVELOP A LONG CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE HONDA REP SAYS IT MY PROBLEM BECAUSE THE RECALL CAMPAIGN IS OVER. WHICH I DON'T THINK IS FAIR. HONDA KNEW OF THE DEFECT AND NOT ALL HONDA'S DEVELOP THIS PROBLEM IT'S JUST US UNLUCKY FEW THAT GOT THE BAD ONE'S.
LIKE ALL OTHERS WHO OWN HONDA HYBRID MY IMA BATTERIES FAILED LONG BEFORE THEY SHOULD HAVE NOW WITH MASSIVE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN CAR DRAINS 12V BATTERY AND YOU END UP WITH NO BRAKES OR STEERING IN TRAFFIC AND SUBJECT TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH WHY NO RECALL WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING TO EVERYONE WHO OWNS THIS HYBRID SINCE IT WAS INTRODUCED IN 2001 SHAMEFUL OVERSIGHT BY YOUR AGENCY.
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.
REAR TIRES ARE WEARING DOWN FASTER THAN THE FRONT, YET IT'S FRONT WHEEL DRIVE.
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.
TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE CALLED ABOUT THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT HONDA WILL CALL ME BACK. IT WAS HONDA THAT I CALLED. SINCE THEN THE AIRBAG ON MY HONDA HAS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. I CALLED AGAIN AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN HELPED. IT DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS AT A RED LIGHT
AFTER THE RECALL，MY SIDE AIR BAG HAS PROBLEM AND NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND DEALER CHECKING. I WONDER IF THIS IS DUE TO THE AIR BAG QUALITY ISSUES.
THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SUN VISOR BROUGHT IT IN HAD IT FIXED IT WAS SPLITTING AT THE TOP WOULD NOT STAY UP HAPPENED AGAIN SAME THING HAPPENED TOOK IT IN ALL THEY DID WAS PUT SOME GLUE ON IT TOOK IT FOR THE 3RD TIME THEY WANT ME TO PAY 100.00 TO HAVE IT FIXED THIS IS A PROBLEM VISOR WON'T STAY UP SPLITTING AGAIN

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
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.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CROWN HONDA GREENSBORO (3633 W WENDOVER AVE, GREENSBORO, NC 27407, (336) 790-9855) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOTOR BLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AND PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED A TRAIL OF LIQUID EMERGING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THERE WAS A PUDDLE UNDER THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED AND THE ENGINE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.
ENGINE HAS A CRACK BLOCK.WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL WAS NEVER INFORMED
CRACKED ENGINE FLUID CAME OUT CAUSES DAMAGED TO OTHER PARTS AND OVER HEAT DUE TO ENGINE CRACK DAMAGED WATER PUMPS RADIATOR
ENGINE BLOCK HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK THAT IS LEAKING RADIATOR COOLANT AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE ENGINE BEING DAMAGED AND VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING.
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
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
