Honda Civic cracked engine block. Honda has been aware of this issue for many years. They have never issued a recall, only a service bulletin. Many Honda customers are experiencing their motors overheating due to a faulty engine and cracking occurring. The engine is defective. My 2007 Honda Civic started overheating in 2018. I took it to a repair shop and they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle. I have to monitor the coolant level because it keeps decreasing and I have to add more coolant. I have come to close to the car overheating while driving it when I had to immediately pull off the road to add more fluid. It was diagnosed yesterday 1/25/19 by a Honda dealer with a cracked engine block. Honda corporate is not going to replace the engine because their extended warranty has expired. See Honda service bulletin 10-48. The warranty was only issued for those owners who experienced the problem within that 10 year period of time. There are many complaints about this issue and something needs to be done. Honda needs to be responsible for this defect that they have acknowledged but are only fixing it if it happens within a 10 year period regardless if the miles are low, as in my vehicle. This issue can result in a car fire from overheating, so it is a safety issue that Honda is ignoring by not declaring a recall. This is an engine defect that Honda has fully acknowledged. A recall must be declared so that owners of these vehicles are protected from a potential car fire from the engine overheating.

I was driving on a highway and my engine started to get really hot I lost my power steering and my brakes all at once because the engine overheated, I pulled off the road and filled the coolant however that did not work and so I took it into the dealership and found out there was a crack in the engine block. This is a safety hazard because I was n the highway and had mere seconds of losing power steering to pull off onto the side of the road and get out of the car as smoke was coming from the engine. The issue is that the car was bought in 2006 and because of just an extended warranty that was only 10 years I now have to put thousands of dollars into getting a new engine.

Despite meticulous maintenance on the vehicle, the engine block cracked 13 months out of Honda's twice-extended warranty for the issue. The engine began to overheat and coolant was seeping from the front of the engine block. I never received any notification from Honda in regards to the issue as they claim I would have in their technical service bulletin 10-048. Honda will not offer any kind of discount on the repair of the block either.

My engine overheated due to a crack in the engine block. This is a common problem with these Hondas, it is what I heard. Anyway, this almost caused me an accident since I was driving at 65mph, and the engine suddenly stopped. Honda does not want to honor this repair because they said that the vehicle is out of warranty. But a crack in the engine is something that you should not worry as a wear of the vehicle, this is definitely a manufacture defect.

Cracked engine block causing loss of antifreeze, which in turn causes engine to over heat.

Honda TSB# 10-048, my sons Honda Civic over heated due to a known crack issue in the engine block. This car was purchased as a used car from a Honda dealer. He was driving his car when it just started to shut down and he had to pull over. The engine overheated without warning while he was driving and got so hot that it melted the oil dip stick (see image), lucky it did not go on fire, the ignition coil was also melted to the engine block. I know that Honda extended their warranty on this, and my car is 2 months pass that date with only 57k mles on it. Why should I have to pay for a know issue that can show up at given time. Whether it is 5,10 or 20 years it is a know defect and Honda as company should be standing behind their product. I never received any notification of this issue in writing from Honda at anytime to watch for this potential problem. I understand it would be a financial burden to do a complete recall but I believe that is what needs to be done. This is a dangerous situation for people who are not aware of this potential danger.

While driving on the highway the car stopped in the middle of the highway all lights on dashboard turned on. Called 911 for assistance since couldn't exit the vehicle. Car was towed to a repair shop near where the incident occurred. Shop diagnosed that the engine seized due to engine overheating. After I found out that the engine overheated and seized I took my car to Honda for diagnosis because sometime after I bought this vehicle, I was notified by Honda that the engine may experience coolant seepage that can result in engine overheating, thus american Honda extended the warranty of the engine to 10 years from original date of purchase with no mileage limit. My car was only 9 years old with only 64,000 miles on the odometer. Honda service acknowledged the engine overheated due to coolant seepage but unfortunately they refused to honor the extended warranty they offered originally. Very disappointed with Honda for not recalling these engines from the very beginning, instead of putting their customers in danger of very serious situations such as the one I described.

Driving and engine started overheating. Was on the road when I had to pull over, added coolant and the next day took to the dealership to locate the problem. Was told there is a crack in the engine block. They told me I had to replace the engine. Upon further research I found this is a known problem with this year Honda as there was an issue in the mold they used for casting. They did offer an additional 5 year warranty on this part but looking online these problems are appearing in 11 or 12 years. I bought this car from a judge who passed away and his service records were up to date and the car was in great condition. However n reviewing the Honda web site this issue was never mentioned. I was fortunate not to be on a highway and the engine could have been blown up.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Civic. While the contact's wife was driving 65 mph, the temperature gauge displayed a high reading and the engine stalled. The vehicle was towed to the contact's house and then to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the engine block had cracked and the engine overheated.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the engine overheated while driving. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine block fractured due to defective material, which caused water to penetrate the engine cylinders.

Honda has issues a technical service bulletin 10-048 and 08-044 that the engine block overheats and causing engine to crack. I am 3rd owner over the car and bought the car with a salvaged title ( because it was stolen) with 48,000 mile on it. I have since put 54,000 mile on it since I purchased it and am experiencing misfire and cracking of engine block. I called Honda and they are denying my claim for them to fix the issue because my car has salvaged title even though my car was never in a accident. I do not think this is right that they acknowledge this is a problem and only offer warranty extension to original owner to fix the problem, but everyone else who may have salvage title for one reason or another are not covered, even though its Honda's fault for not using good casting for the engine block. I would like to try and get Honda to announce a recall so that everyone who has same problem can get their car fixed. I have taken very good care of my car since I have had it with regular maintenance intervals and would hate to lose my trust in Honda motors because of this. I just want Honda to do the right thing and exchange my faulty block, I would even be happy with paying 50% of costs or they provide part and I will pay for labor.

While driving my 2006 Honda Civic the engine block cracked and engine overheated, making my car a potential fire hazard, unsafe and undrivable. I took my Honda into the dealership & they diagnosed it as a cracked engine block and offered to relplace with used engine for $4333. 00. After researching this issue online I found plenty of other Honda owners with the same problem. The cause of the engine crack was a manufacturing defect from Honda.

The engine suddenly overheated. I had the car towed to a dealership. (community Honda of orland park). There is a recall for this overheating engine problem but Honda and the dealership say it's not the overheating recall problem. The repairs are in excess of $2,500.

The engine overheated at highway speed. Later found that the coolant level was very low due to engine block cracking issue. Reference Honda sb-08-044 and NHTSA # 10030876.

My car broke down in the middle of the freeway after the engine got overheated. Honda Civic 2007 has send a form to reimbursment, and now they are not willing to pay.

Engine over heated and froze up due to losing coolant through engine block crack. Crack caused from defective engine blocks as admitted by Honda corp. Total loss of power on highway in heavy traffic created a safety hazard to the young teenaged driver. Car was bought used on a salvage title and driven a year without incident until this failure occurred. Honda will not replace engine still on warranty due to salvage title.

We only received one warning the engine overheated for no reason then we found out we had a defective engine from Honda in a 2008 Civic. The engine was replaced but they know they have a defective engine block in the Honda Civic 2008, 2007, and 2006 so how do we know if we did or did not receive another block with the same problem. This could overheat and cause a fire. We were not given a new warranty on the replaced engine. We were not reimbursed on expenses to rent a car, and fly back to pick up car and towing.

It could be serious accident on the highway, and I could be dead, too. But Honda doesn't give me a good response for this case. I purchased this car 35 months ago, and the current mileage is 68,000 miles. I have had this car serviced since purchase by Honda of decatur as recommended by the owners manual. I had the car serviced the first week of February with a type b service. The dealer personnel didn't mention any maintenance issues with the drive train after this service. On February 9, 2010 I notice an unusual sweet smell as I drove my car to the airport. Because I was traveling on business, I had to leave the car and pick it up on February 11th. Shortly after returning on February 11, 2010 the temperature gauge showed the engine was overheating and some smoke came out. I immediately pulled over and turned the car off. I had the car towed to the Honda dealer in huntsville, al which was the nearest dealership. After the car was examined I was told by the dealer's service advisor that there is a crack in engine block. At this time they have not been able to identify a cause for this crack. As I explained above the car was recently serviced and the anti-freeze should have prevented freeze damage. The dealer has estimated the repair will cost $3,500-$3,700 and because of the mileage they indicate that Honda of huntsville will not able to submit a warranty claim on my behalf.

I was on my way home from work when my engine began to overheat. After pulling over to the side of the road, I called a tow truck and got my car towed to a local Honda dealership where they informed me that my engine block was cracked and that the engine needed to be replace. My Civic ex only has 46,000 miles on it! how can a car's engine crack with only 46,000 miles on it. Had I not been paying attention, the engine could have caught on fire due to overheating. Luckily, my engine is covered under warranty, but after much research, it appears that I am not the only one who has experienced this issue. According to TSB 08-044, a technical bulletin released by Honda, it appears that this is a known issue with 2006-2007 Honda Civics and yet they have not issued a recall on the engines. Honda is refusing to pay for a rental car on my behalf so I am now forced to spend $450 on a rental car. Something needs to be done about this!.

I own a 2006 Honda Civic. The engine started overheating yesterday while my son was driving it, so we had it towed to my mechanic. He told me the car has a cracked engine block. I then had it towed to the dealer. I am waiting for them to verify my mechanic's diagnosis, but searched online for this problem, and there are many 2006 Honda Civics with this same problem. My car has only 28000 miles on it, and now it has a problem that is beyond major (and sounds like some kind of recall issue).

I was driving on the freeway when I heard a squealing noise, then the smell of rubber burning, and then loss of power from the engine. When I pulled over, there was smoke coming out from the sides of the hood and I did not open it. I called aaa and they towed me to a dealership for the car to be repaired. When the dealer added engine coolant to the car, it ran right through and onto the ground. The dealer sent it out to a machine shop to see if the cylinder head could be saved. Due to the extreme heat caused by lack of coolant, the dip stick melted as well as the spark plugs and other components of the engine. The dealer had to install a brand new engine block, cylinder head, new spark plugs, new timing chain and other parts. The cost was over $6000! it had only 80,000 miles on it and was 27 months old. I average 100 miles per day to get to and from work via the freeway, 3000 miles per month, 36,000 miles per year. I had the intermediate service done at 47000 miles and another one at 70000. I don't believe that after only 80000 miles an engine would give out like that. The "check engine" light and the maintenance minder on the dash never said anything about the engine overheating or no coolant. When I got home after the incident, I found a pool of bright blue fluid on the garage floor. I thought it was window washer fluid, but it was the engine coolant! dealer said it may have been a bad seal at the base of the coolant reservoir. The car took a little over a week to fix and it's running fine now.
