Carrier/rack problems of the 2007 Honda Civic

Engine block crack.

On August 31, 2017 while I was driving on the highway, the car stopped running and smoke came out of the hood suddenly. Fortunately I managed to pull over the car to a safe place immediately beside the highway otherwise I would have been in a fatal situation. I had the car towed to the dean Honda at pittsburgh where they performed the diagnosis to find the root cause of the problem. They identified that there was crack in the engine block which has caused the coolant to leak from the engine and hence overheating of the engine has happened. They told me that the engine has to be replaced and few other parts as well (like spark plug etc. ) to make the car running again which would cost me around $4000. I did some research over the internet regarding this issue and found that most of the 2006 to 2009 Civics had the engine crack issue and TSB 10-048 was issued and the warranty of such engines were extended to 10 years and that would cover the replacement of the engine if such issues are found. I checked with my service consultant at dean Honda if this would be covered under the extended warranty. He did a VIN inquiry and said the warrant has expired 10 days ago and this won't be covered. (the original purchase date of the car was 22-Aug-2007 and this incident happened to me on 31-Aug-2017). This is a big blow to me. This is my first car in the us. I bought this car as the second owner in July 2015 with only 36000 miles on it and I have hardly driven 15000 miles over the past two years without any issues. The previous owner also never had any issues with it and that's why I purchased it with confidence. Considering customer's safety, these engines needs to be recalled by Honda and replaced with new ones or at least the warranty of these engines needs to be extended further (for at least for 5 more years). I was lucky enough to survive a fatal accident.

I have crack on my engine block upfront where's leek out antifreeze from block when I came dealership they said it doesn't cover my vehicle but when I check online it problem issues recall on this model so what should I have to do I'm student I buy this car for cash and I see this issue factory belong my vehicle has only 115000 miles can you respond me please.

In 2011 Honda settled a class action suit involving defective sun visors. My car had both visors replaced in, I believe, 2012. Both are cracked just as the originals were. The danger is in the driver side defective sun visor. It can flop down unpredictably and and distract the driver. If it flops down halfway, its edge is aimed at my forehead and injure me. The only inexpensive and quick repair is a binder clip attached to the broken parts to hold them together.

I am a resident of charleston SC and it gets fairly hot here with summer month temperatures. I have a 2007 Honda Civic and the sun visors ( both of them) have melted , cracked and broken from my car getting warmer inside while sitting. The visors hang in the line of view for myself and passengers of my vehicle. I feel that this car is fairly new,and a safety issue like this should not be happening this is pretty common occurrence after researching this.

Both sunvisors cracked from the normal southeastern heat after I had had the car about two years.
