Carrier/rack problems of the 2008 Honda Civic

The engine block was leaking due to holes and cracks.

Engine block crack leaking antifreeze and car won't go over 5 mph.

Incident occurred 11-Dec 2017 commuting into work at around 6:45 am on the highway going about 60 mph. Clear skies, 42�, no trucks nearby, moderate car traffic. Sunroof shattered. The sunroof was closed, the sunroof cover was open. There is no evidence of being hit with an object. The cracks are not radiating from a single point, but are random. Glass is bowing outwards, although not yet completely breached as of 8 am. Structural integrity is completely compromised though, only a matter of time before the sunroof completely collapses on itself.

The bracket the holds the alternator and is connected to the engine block snapped while I was driving on a city street. I lost power steering and the belt came off. The alternator was just dangling. From what I understand, this is a known problem with this model vehicle and it seems to be a serious design flaw.

Paint on my navy blue Civic is deteriorating on the trunk, hood and roof. Also my passenger sun visor is broke. It looks like it melted and cracked for no apparent reason. There have been many complaints about paint peeling and chipping . You would think that Honda would take responsibility for the problem.

I was making a left turn leaving my place of work. The car made a loud grinding noise and the steering wheel locked (power steering went) and a/c stopped working. I immediately parked the car and the next day had it towed to a Honda dealership. Upon inspection, the water pump seized up. The pulley and lock bolt holding the serpentine belt had practically fallen off. This was confirmed by a Honda dealership technician. The car has low mileage, I am the first owner, and the car has only been serviced at a Honda dealership. I will also reference a service bulletin issued on 2006 Honda Civics. There is no recall on 2008's even though it contains the same r18 engine (engine block cracking problems) as the 2006 and 2007. Service bulletin number: 08-038 NHTSA id #: 10026085 bulletin date: fri, 08/01/2008 failing component(s): 062000 engine and engine cooling:cooling system summary: Honda: product update: water pump pulley flange cracks. A crack pulley flange may create a pulley noise, cause the water pump to fail, and cause the drive belt to break. Updated 12/19/08. Csc letter was received.

The visors broke in July 2015 and cracked; they cannot be used. I was able to return the driver side visor to the upright position; however, the passenger visor does not return to the upright position and often is bothersome to passengers. When Honda was contacted in October 2015 I was informed that I had received a recall notice in may 2011. I did not purchase the car until October of that year. I was also informed that the time period in which to respond to the recall for repair had concluded and that I could pay to have the visors repaired. They cost over $50 each. Therefore, I have not repaired the visors. The mileage is approximate. The initial incident occurred in a parking lot.

Both sun visors in my car are not able to be pushed up anymore. It seems like they melted and came apart or cracked. I have researched online and this seems to be a common occurrence with my make and model of car.

The paint is cracking and chipping the oil bracket nut is leaking and weak (can cause fire to burn faster than normal) the air bag on left is defective.

I was driving my 2008 Honda Civic when my visor swung down and partially blocked my vision. Upon looking at the visor, I noticed the back had cracked open and the visor would no longer close. Eventually I just removed the visor so I would not have to deal with it any longer.
