Engine Overheat problems of the 2006 Honda Civic

I was driving on a highway and my engine started to get really hot I lost my power steering and my brakes all at once because the engine overheated, I pulled off the road and filled the coolant however that did not work and so I took it into the dealership and found out there was a crack in the engine block. This is a safety hazard because I was n the highway and had mere seconds of losing power steering to pull off onto the side of the road and get out of the car as smoke was coming from the engine. The issue is that the car was bought in 2006 and because of just an extended warranty that was only 10 years I now have to put thousands of dollars into getting a new engine.

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 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 contact owns a 2006 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the engine overheated while driving. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine block fractured due to defective material, which caused water to penetrate the engine cylinders. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 270,000.

While driving my 2006 Honda Civic the engine block cracked and engine overheated, making my car a potential fire hazard, unsafe and undrivable. I took my Honda into the dealership & they diagnosed it as a cracked engine block and offered to relplace with used engine for $4333. 00. After researching this issue online I found plenty of other Honda owners with the same problem. The cause of the engine crack was a manufacturing defect from Honda.

I was on my way home from work when my engine began to overheat. After pulling over to the side of the road, I called a tow truck and got my car towed to a local Honda dealership where they informed me that my engine block was cracked and that the engine needed to be replace. My Civic ex only has 46,000 miles on it! how can a car's engine crack with only 46,000 miles on it. Had I not been paying attention, the engine could have caught on fire due to overheating. Luckily, my engine is covered under warranty, but after much research, it appears that I am not the only one who has experienced this issue. According to TSB 08-044, a technical bulletin released by Honda, it appears that this is a known issue with 2006-2007 Honda Civics and yet they have not issued a recall on the engines. Honda is refusing to pay for a rental car on my behalf so I am now forced to spend $450 on a rental car. Something needs to be done about this!.

I own a 2006 Honda Civic. The engine started overheating yesterday while my son was driving it, so we had it towed to my mechanic. He told me the car has a cracked engine block. I then had it towed to the dealer. I am waiting for them to verify my mechanic's diagnosis, but searched online for this problem, and there are many 2006 Honda Civics with this same problem. My car has only 28000 miles on it, and now it has a problem that is beyond major (and sounds like some kind of recall issue).

I was driving on the freeway when I heard a squealing noise, then the smell of rubber burning, and then loss of power from the engine. When I pulled over, there was smoke coming out from the sides of the hood and I did not open it. I called aaa and they towed me to a dealership for the car to be repaired. When the dealer added engine coolant to the car, it ran right through and onto the ground. The dealer sent it out to a machine shop to see if the cylinder head could be saved. Due to the extreme heat caused by lack of coolant, the dip stick melted as well as the spark plugs and other components of the engine. The dealer had to install a brand new engine block, cylinder head, new spark plugs, new timing chain and other parts. The cost was over $6000! it had only 80,000 miles on it and was 27 months old. I average 100 miles per day to get to and from work via the freeway, 3000 miles per month, 36,000 miles per year. I had the intermediate service done at 47000 miles and another one at 70000. I don't believe that after only 80000 miles an engine would give out like that. The "check engine" light and the maintenance minder on the dash never said anything about the engine overheating or no coolant. When I got home after the incident, I found a pool of bright blue fluid on the garage floor. I thought it was window washer fluid, but it was the engine coolant! dealer said it may have been a bad seal at the base of the coolant reservoir. The car took a little over a week to fix and it's running fine now.
