While driving on the highway the engine block cracked causing the vehicle to overheat. Had the engine failed this may have been a catastrophic event. I have done research on this problem and others have not been as lucky as I have. Honda is well aware of this massive problem and has extended the warranty on the engine block to 10 years from date of purchase. Honda will not rectify this problem if your vehicle is over the 10 year time frame. This is a safety issue that should be under recall regardless of age and mileage. It's should be about safety first. Currently Honda only recognizes the problem as a warranty issue number 10-048.

Engine block- engine block cracked causing my to leak fluids and have my car overheat instantly while driving. Honda issues a ten year warranty on the engine block but my car is five months past due of the warranty. Honda knew that its engine block was flawed and refuses to fix it even though I could have been seriously hurt or even killed because of this defect.

Driving and car overheated and stopped. Towed to Honda dealership and found cracked engine block. Only 50,000 miles on car, like new and well maintained. No recalls. When investigated on line found well documented defective design and materials on engine block. The Honda customer service would not honor their secret warranty. There was no recalls on this well documented defective car. I guess you have to do your own homework, but in this case, they knew it was a defective material design just waiting to implode!!!!.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the vehicle overheated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for inspection and diagnostic testing. An independent mechanic inspected and diagnosed the vehicle. The manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was excluded from an unknown recall campaign and provided no solution. The approximate failure mileage was 128,000.

Car began to overheat with normal use. In an attempt to fix the issue, a reputable local repair shop replaced parts to resolve the issue, not fully diagnosing the issue thats found within bulletin 10-048. The shop correctly diagnosed the issue, however were not aware of the recall. The engine was replaced with genuine Honda parts. I went through the recall refund process for 8 full months after supplying all of the relevant invoices, vehicle maintenance history, etc. And was denied on the basis that the invoices had the previous diagnosis listed that was incorrect, below the correct diagnosis of a cracked engine. Honda is not honoring their recall refund in any way shape or form. Honda then attempted to offer me a coupon for future service repairs, clearly showing that they recognize I had a case, however simply did not want to pay out the price of the replaced engine. Note the date listed below is the date my claim was finally rejected. After waiting 8 months.

My Civic has a cracked engine block due to a known manufacture defect. Honda extended warranty out ten yrs from original date of purchase but did not notify owners of potential problems. This is clearly a safety issue as the car can overheat and/or engine fails without warning and steering locks up. This is very dangerous especially when driving on highway. Honda should be held liable as their actions have not only been irresponsible but fraudulent. There should be no time limit on a manufacture defect particularly when owners did not receive notification.

Car overheated. Left my daughter stranded, alone, late at night on a rural highway. Later identified a cracked engine block. Problem is known to Honda. Not revealed to used car buyers. Honda will not help with repair because the car is beyond 10 year warranty. Would not have bought car if she had known. Preys on people who buy 10 year old Hondas, people who cannot afford this big of hit. Now she has to pay for a car she can't drive and find another way to work.

Cracked engine block. My car over heated while I was driving to work in which I was driving 30mph, just two miles away from my house. Can you imagine if I was on the freeway and/ or got into a car accident because of this? the engine heat gage went up to only � of the way high and since this was not normal that I have ever seen for my car, I immediately pulled over and turned off my car. When I had pulled over my car was smoking. I called for road side assistance to help me take my car to a mechanic. I thought it was just a minor repair but to my surprise it was a factory defect with Honda. The problem with my engine ended up being a cracked engine block in which Honda had never informed of about this know factory defect/recall for certain year Honda Civics. I had to have the entire engine block replaced. While my car was being repaired by the mechanic I did found out, upon my own research on the internet, about Honda Civic cracked engine block defects/recalls. I had called my local Honda dealership asking if what I had found out on the internet was true they said yes. A few months earlier, I had received a recall letter in the mail and a call from Honda only on the passenger side airbag which I promptly had fix. If I had received information on the airbag, why was this not the case of a cracked engine block? Honda told me that because I am 4 months passed the 10-year warranty, they can do nothing for me and that the recall has been expired. I was shocked. Honda had also delayed my case for 3 months. I was instructed to contact the bbb to help me with this. Dealing with Honda has been exhausting and I have lost work and having friend take me to work. My car was at the mechanics for one week. Vehicle identification number: 1hgfa16566l005647 attached are pictures and receipts for work done as well as my cover letter I sent to Honda.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Civic. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle overheating indicator illuminated. The driver was able to pull the vehicle over and noticed smoke under the hood. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where no issues were found. The dealer diagnosed that the vehicle had a cracked engine block. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was unknown.

Car overheated very quickly while driving 60 mph in the fast lane resulting in a plume of blinding white smoke coming from the hood. This was a very scary and life threatening experience as I barely got the car to the shoulder with other cars wizing past me at speed. Had the car looked at by a mechanic friend who traced the leak to a crack in the engine block. He said this was not repairable and would need a new engine block. The crack is located in the front of the engine, behind the exhaust header pipe and difficult to see. It is however in the same area as all of the other reported complaints from other Civic owners on the web. After some research on the internet I found out that this was a very common and widespread issue with the 2006-2009 Civics. I contacted Honda corporate and was told that there was an extended warranty because of this issue. Funny how I never received any notices whatsoever and did not have the slightest clue that this was an issue for the past 10 years of ownership. Needless to say I am one year past the extended warranty and Honda will cover nothing at all. Car has 63,000 miles and is otherwise in mint condition. Asked Honda to prove that they sent out the notice to me and they have yet to respond. Had I received any notification of this issue I would have most likely traded the car. Now I am stuck with an inoperable car and an $8,900. 00 repair (quoted by Honda dealership). Totally left in the dark, but happy to be alive. This is a widespread issue all over the internet just google Honda Civic cracked engine block and hundreds maybe thousands of complaints will pop up. How this very dangerous issue is not a recall is beyond me. I guess someone will have to die before it is. Sad.

Recall Honda won't honor warranty 10-048 only because on my tittle it states that the millege is not actual. Which was a mistake by the dmv. Not actual mileage my engine is seized due to the car over heating.

I have 2006 Honda Civic that I bought back in 2012 with 93k miles on it and now in 2016 I had my engine block leak and so I took it to Honda dealer so they can check it and told me I had a crack on my engine and they said that handa sent a letter witch I never got and that my warranty is expire and they can't do any thing about I've never had problems with my car I always keep clean and make sure I do my maintenance on it I have no accidents also way I know I had a problem is by the car over heating and the smoke coming out while I was in highway with my family yet Honda doesn't want to anything what about if we got hurt while waiting for some to come and tow my car away and for some to pick us to take us home now I have now car and nothing to drive I hope everyone speaks up for everyone.

Srs light on for years. Told it was nothing to worry about. Then Honda says it is a serious safety issue, I have to pay hundreds of dollars for repair. Transmission went out cost over $2500 so far, car still isn't working. Well known problem but Honda is greedy and won't pay to fix their unsafe vehicles. Car overheats when using the heater. Driver seat feels like it is going to move while driving. I will never buy a Honda ever again.

Cracked engine block was discovered after coolent escaped and car overheated and stalled.

I purchased a car for a dealer that has a rebuilt title due to the fact it was in accident where the air bag was deployed. So I bought the car any way because I at the time strongly believed in the reliability of any and all Honda motors. A month after I bought the car it started to over head due to the common issue with all 2006-2009 Honda Civics of the block cracking. I called Honda to see if they would cover it but they would not because the warranty is void due to the rebuilt title. I believe that this issue of the engine block cracking should not be a warranty issue and should be a recall. This is a major issue that Honda should take full responsibility for and fix any and all cars that are have the issue with the r16 block cracking. Honda being so well known for the reliability it is a shame disappointment that they refuse to list this issue as a recall in stead of warranty extension. Even for the cars that have the warranty extension there is no way to tell when this issue will occur so why would you but a 8 year limit on the warranty. I have only bought Honda cars since I was able to and no I feel I may never buy and Honda again or brag about its reliability. I full expected better from this company and now because I am a college student who has putt all my money and savings to buy this car because it was a Honda. . . I can no no longer afford repairs because it is such a costly issue having to replace an entire motor is like having to pretty much buy a new car all over again. The car over heats and I am forced to stop were ever I am at to wait for the car to cool before I can add water which will only leak out minutes later due to the cracked engine block.

Driving down 270 in columbus ohio doing 67mph when I noticed when I pressed on the gas to pass into the next lane, nothing happened. I down shifted into 4th gear and tried again, nothing. Luckily I was able to cross over 3 lanes of traffic and coast down the off ramp on westbroad. I called aaa and had them tow it to my step fathers shop were him and his friend build hot rods in their spare time. After taking a look under the hood and running a couple of diagnostic tests they determined that the engine block was cracked and the car over heated. No engine light came on!.

The Honda Civic suddenly overheated. After letting the engine cool and adding coolant, the car overheated again about ten days later. Our mechanic discovered four tiny cracks in the block. An internet search revealed Honda Civics 2006-2008 have a known manufacturing defect which causes the cracks. Honda has issued TSB 08-044 to extend the warranty on the engine up to eight years. However, if the car has a rebuilt title, Honda will do nothing to remedy the known manufacturing defect. My wife has been left stranded twice by an overheated vehicle. If the car overheats in traffic, there could be a fire or collision. While Honda acknowledges the defect, they have refused to recall the car. Having appealed three times to Honda for help, I now appeal to the NHTSA for help.

The car overheated and engine light came on. The car had a cracked engine block that Honda admitted is a defect of this model car but they are only covering repair for people who come in with a problem. The dealership supposedly replaced the cracked engine block with a new one. The engine light has come on 3 additional times in the past month since the engine block was replaced. The first time we were told it was the oxygen sensor and paid approx. $380 for repairs because they claim it had nothing to do with the initial problem. Less then an hour after getting the car back the light came on again. This time they said that there was dust on a sensor do to the work they did. They claimed to repair it for no charge. They said they drove it for 20 miles with no problem. Again within an hour of getting the car back the engine light has come on for a 4th time.

Car was overheating as I was stopped, drove to Honda they said it's a cracked block that was consistent with this year I read up on many others on the internet - Honda is only handling if a problem arises and some Honda dealerships are trying to make the customer pay for the damage from their defective product is a class action lawsuit viable to protect Honda owners?.
