I was driving on the freeway and heard a clicking noise. By the time I pulled off the freeway the oil light was on. My car then died and soon found the car had overheated. I took it to Honda and they said it is probably a cracked engine block but were unable to investigate further because it had been more than 8 years since the extended warranty was offered for this problem.
2006 Honda Civic. Consumer writes in regards to engine problems. The consumer stated while driving back from a trip, she heard a slight ticking noise and the vehicle would not accelerate and it gradually slowed down. She pulled over to the side of the road, where her husband lifted and tried to check the oil, but there wasn't mush left of the dipstick. The vehicle was towed to the nearest repair facility. A diagnosis revealed a dead engine. The cost of replacing the engine was near the value of the vehicle. So, she and her husband, decided not to have the vehicle fixed.
