Engine block coolant leak I bought this 2008 Honda Civic in winchester va on 1/13/2018 fro s&w auto1908 valley Ave winchester va on valley Ave. They stated it had a new engine that it had been replaced by Honda due to block being replaced in 2006 to 2008 because the developed a coolant leak. On 1/16/2018 after buying it check engine light came on and gauage for hot/cold went to hot. Took it back to s&w after calling as they instructed me to. They stated was a loose wire and that should take care of it and not to worry if that hot/cold thing should hot again. However it happened again on July 8 2018 and my car would not start. Took it to garage and found out had leak and needed water pump replaced. However mechanic called and that was fixed but come to find out engine block had a leak/cracked and you can see from top water pooling. Took back to s&w auto and they said yes it is cracked and I would need to take to miller Honda 3985 valley pike winchester va miller Honda winchester va. I did this am 7/20/2018 at 7:00 am and they wanted to charge me $110 to look at it. I work two jobs and don't have this kind or money to fix a problem that was to be fixed and was told was a new engine that Honda replaced. Miller Honda jeff called at 9:02 am 7/20/2018 and was very rude. I want this issue resolved immediately and it should not cost me to have it looked at once again.

TSB#10-048 Honda Civic (2006-2009) engine cylinder block crack. I never received a notice about this TSB. On may 23, 2018, while driving on the highway 78 miles from home, my a/c stopped working and the temp. Gauge was up to h. I immediately put the heat on to cool the engine. Then I stopped for a half hour to let it cool. After arriving home and upon inspection we noticed that all the coolant was gone. Through research, thinking we had a bad water pump, we found a youtube video that talked about the Honda 10 yr extended engine warranty. I had the car towed to my nearest Honda dealer on 5/26 where they diagnosed the cracked block. According to a parts person at Honda this crack doesn't have any physical warning signs until it overheats. . I bought my car may 5, 2008, so I am 21 days out of warranty and the best the dealership will do is cover 75%. So I wonder how long before my warranty was out was it leaking? this is a very known problem that has had 3 updates to the length of warranty since 2009. If I had been sent a mailing as they say they did, I would have had it taken care of. But since it's not classified as a recall I had no warning. Once or twice a year I check my VIN # for recalls. Even today it lists 0.

As I was driving my car, my heater had gone cold and my temprature gauge shot into the red and steam began to come up from under my hood, I immediately pulled over to lift my hood and steam comes rolling out. I had thought for weeks it was a water pump or line issue and tried fixing it but nothing helped, a mechanic shop finally told me it was a crack in my block. I done research and found out its been a huge issue with this model car. The issue of losing coolant and problems with overheating began in January of 2018.

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.
