1 Engine Failure problem

Failure Date: 09/25/2010

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Civic. The contact received a notification from the manufacturer regarding a three year extended warranty associated with the engine block. The contact was in disagreement with the three year warranty coverage due to his vehicle exhibited low mileage, and that he would not be able to take advantage of the warranty if he were to experience engine failure after the three year warranty extension. There was no failure mileage.

2 Engine Failure problem

Failure Date: 09/21/2010

I received a notice from Honda corporation that the warranty on my 2007 Honda Civics engine block has been extended to eight years from date of purchase. I read online that the engine blocks will crack as a result of defective casting at the time the engine blocks were manufactured. I've read online many, many complaints of cracked blocks as a result of this defect. This needs to be a recall and not a warranty extension. This defect will result in complete engine failure and put my family at risk on the highway. Also, this defect will severely devalue my car for sale or trade in value. Honda CO. Needs to fix this problem that they are responsible for.

3 Engine Failure problem

Failure Date: 09/14/2010

Honda owners have reported engine block failures on 2006-2009 Honda Civics where cracks form at the bottom and allow engine coolant to escape. Honda has acknowledged the defect with an extended warranty but has not agreed to fix the problem until it happens. The issue I have is that there may be no warning of when the 6 cracks will appear and since the coolant escape is in the engine block rather than say a hose there might be no warning until the engine fails and stalls from thermal stresses. This could pose a safety hazard if it happens on a crowded freeway where the driver cannot quickly pull to the side of the road. Note: I had to enter an incident date to continue although this has not happened to my car yet.
