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.
While driving down the highway, vehicle ran hot. I pulled off the road, left the car until it cooled, added water, and brought it home. The repair shop said I had a crack in the engine block. A used engine would cost $2100. I don't know what a new one would cost. I was told I could go through the same problem with the used engine that I did have installed. I also was told about the technical service bulletin which was issued for this particular model. I talked with someone at Honda corporation and was told 2 times that they would do nothing because my 10 year extended warranty expired in August 2016. This incident happened on April 22, 2017 with 98500 miles on the car. If Honda knew there was a problem with workmanship or material, this should be covered no matter how long you have owned the car. I have sung Honda's praises for 20 years with 2 cars. My relationship with Honda has ended.
I was driving through rural virginia when the temperature gauge quickly jumped to the hottest setting. I immediately pulled my car over. I was informed by a mechanic that my 2006 Civic with 87,000 miles has a cracked engine block. The car was towed to the dealer. I plan to have a new engine block installed.
