1 Engine Oil Leaking problem

Failure Date: 08/21/2019

My 18 year old son was out of town was on his way home on a highway. His Honda Civic's a/c began to be less and less cool. Then his temperature gauge quickly rose as far in the red that it could go. He pulled over and called us. We went to pick him up. There was no sign of a leak under his car but the antifreeze was low. We filled it up and drove it home. The next day we checked the antifreeze level and it was very low again with no sign of anything under the car. We took the car in and the antifreeze was leaking into the oil. We had one of the Civics that had the known issue of faulty manufacturing and the engine blocks were cracking around the 100,000 mile mark. This situation could have been potentially extremely dangerous as my son drove it on the highway often for school. Honda is taking no responsibility for the default because it was out of the extended warranty for that claim. Because it didn't happen sooner, does not make the defect less dangerous. My son was not injured because he made a intelligent decision about an issue that wasn't right. I worry for those that take the chance. No one wants their child stranded after dark because of something that Honda knows is a problem but wash their hands of if it doesn't happen in their time frame. These vehicles should not be on the road.

2 Engine Oil Leaking problem

Failure Date: 10/05/2017

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 excellent care of my car, and I have never had to have any work done on it besides routine maintenance. However, one of the reps I spoke with made my lovely car sound like a lost cause because it is nearly 12 years old with 128,000 miles on it. I repeatedly told him that we buy (or used to buy) Hondas because they last for hundreds of thousands of miles. I am still in shock and extremely disappointed.

4 Engine Oil Leaking problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2014

I was driving about 50 mph when my car started slowing. No matter how hard I pushed the gas pedal it wouldn't drive over 30 mph. It then started smoking, so I pulled to the side of the road and called a tow truck. The repair shop said I had a cracked engine block and that the oil probably leaked completely out in a matter of minutes.
