2006 Honda Civic at the time of incident had 36,929 miles on it. Vehicle lost all power. Dealership found water pump broke,causing the serpentine belt to snap and the tension rod to break. There were no signs of problems before the vehicle broke down. Vehicle started to smoke. Honda dealership had to replace water pump, serpentine belt and tension rod. Dealership felt water pump should not have broken at this mileage. I was advised later by another dealership that Honda had casting problem with engine block. Same thing happened to the boss, engine block cracked and had to be replaced. The Honda was the same year and approximately the same mileage.

Had belts and water pump changed. The engine light came on so I took it to a mechanic. He said it was my electronic load detector. So I paid around $400. 00 in replacement parts and the car will not pass emission test. No one can figure out what is wrong with it.

Three times while I have been driving my car my auto tensioner has broken due to a poor design by Honda. They only cover fixing it under warrenty. When it happens I lose all functioning of my belt including power steering, alternater, and water pump. Luckily in each instance I was not doing a turn or had a steep turning comming up but I would not have been able to if there was one and it would result in a crash or the car overturning possibly. There was no warning and each of the 3 times it happened suddenly where I hear a sound and my battery light turns on. I took it to midas to repair it and in each case it happened again in a week or less. Honda knew about the issue but did not even warn me or warn midas about the part needing to be replaced until the 3rd incident.

I recently bought a 2004 Honda Civic lx in California. The night I drove home and pulled over, I heard a noise coming from the front of the car. I opened the hood and realized the noise has been coming from the belts. I took my car back to the dealer where I bought the car and they turned me away and said the parts are probably too new and they need some time to 'break in'. The mileage on my car just over 1000 miles and I am very concerned of that noise if it will cause any major consequences. Please advise.

While driving 65 mph, without warning the vehicle stalled. The driver tried to restart the vehicle but was unsuccessful. The driver had the vehicle towed to the dealer for inspection.
