2006 Honda Civic Engine

HONDA CIVIC CRACKED ENGINE WE PURCHASED THE HONDA CIVIC FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND WERE NEVER APPRISED OF ANY WARRANTY EXTENSION IN 2010. IF WE HAD, WE WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. HONDA NOTIFIED US OF TWO OTHER RECALLS (AIRBAG, VISOR) BUT NEVER NOTIFIED US OF PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE. THE HONDA HAS BEEN SEEN AT THREE DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERSHIPS AND ALL REPAIRS/MAINTENANCE DONE AT THEM, BUT NEVER DID ANY OF THE THREE TELL US ABOUT THE ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED IT FROM WON'T PAY, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE AWARE THAT THEY WERE SELLING US A DEFECTIVE CAR. SINCE THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT, IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURE AND NOT THE OWNER. THE WARRANTY EXTENSION WAS FOR 10 YEARS. THIS CAR HAS 141,000 MILES OF WHICH WE ONLY PUT 37,000 ON IN THE LAST 7 YEARS THAT WE OWNED IT THIS CAR IS STILL IN GREAT CONDITION, BUT NOT WORTH MORE THAN $3,000 ON KELLY BLUE BOOK THE QUOTE FOR A NEW ENGINE WAS $5,766. THIS CONTINUES TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FACULTY AND UNSAFE VEHICLES. THE ENGINE CRACKED DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIALS AND NOT DUE TO THE OWNER.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE ENGINE BLOCK FRACTURED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ANTI-FREEZE LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO RELEASE SMOKE FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. BOB ROHRMAN HONDA (821 SAGAMORE PARKWAY SOUTH, LAFAYETTE, INDIANA 47905, (765) 250-5222) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 08932022. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK, WHICH REQUIRED THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V034000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) CONCERNING THE HYBRID MODELS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

THESE CARS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO GET A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. HONDA HAS HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO MAKE AND MODEL HAVING A LOT OF THESE CARS ENGINE BLOCKS CRACKING WHILE DRIVING, WHICH THIS CAN CAUSE A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT. BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THESE ENGINE BLOCKS ARE GOING TO CRACK IT CAN BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD AND CAUSE CAR ACCIDENTS INJURE THEM OR OTHERS. HONDA SHOULD BE REPLACING ALL THE 2006 HONDA CIVIC ENGINES NOT JUST DOING EXTENDED WARRANTY. BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE HONDAS WHO ARE HAVING THEIR ENGINE BLOCKS CRACKED RIGHT AFTER THE EXTENDED 10 YEAR WARRANTY IS UP. IT IS NOT RIGHT 2 NOT DO ANYTHING FOR OTHERS WHO GET A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK AND LOSE THEIR CAR WHEN HONDA SPECIFICALLY KNOWS IS MAKE AND MODEL HAS MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE BLOCKS CRACKING. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE ENGINES NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES WE HAVE ON THESE CARS DUE TO THE ENGINE BLOCKS CRACKING AND COULD BE POSSIBLY CAUSING A CAR ACCIDENT ON A FREEWAY HIGHWAY OR A MAIN STREET SOMEWHERE WHICH CAN KILL THEIR SELF OR OTHER PARTIES ON THE ROADS. IF HONDA KNOWS IS SPECIFICALLY IS A DEFECT IN 2006 HONDA CIVIC ENGINES THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT'S THERE FAULT NOT THE OWNER'S FAULT. THIS IS HONDAS RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THEIR DEFECTS THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF, WHEN THEY KNOW THIS IS A DEFECT. YES THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD , DUE TO THE ENGINE BLOCKS CRACKING AT ANY POSSIBLE TIME WHILE DRIVING OUR CARS. NO MY CAR HAS NOT HAD A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK YET, BUT I DO WORRY WHEN AND IF MINE DOES I CAN'T GO MAKE HONDA FIX THERE DEFECT

VEHICLE IS LEAKING COOLANT. A RECALL AND EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS DONE BECAUSE HONDA KNEW OF AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKING. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2012, NO NOTICE WAS SENT TO ME ABOUT THE RECALL, HOWEVER, I AM A REGISTERED OWNER AS I RECEIVED THE RECALL FOR THE AIR BAGS. I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD REPAIR MY VEHICLE AS I HAVE JUST BECOME AWARE OF THE RECALL AND THE CAR NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. I'VE WAS DRIVING WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR OVERHEATED. THERE WAS NO COOLANT IN THE RADIATOR. PLEASE FORCE HONDA TO MAKE GOOD ON REPAIRING THEIR PRODUCT. RECALLS SHOULD NEVER EXPIRE PER YOUR SITE.

CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK- MY ENGINE HAS BEEN LEAKING RADIATOR FLUID AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT IT HAS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. FROM MY RESEARCH ON THE WEB, IT APPEARS THERE WAS A DESIGN/MANUFACTURING DEFECT ON THE BLOCK, CAUSING A CRACK.

GOT OFF THE ROAD FROM NY TO MD LAST NIGHT AND NOTICED A BIT OF A COOLANT SMELL. NOT A BIG DEAL, BUT WAS GOING TO TAKE IT INTO JIFFY LUBE FOR AN OIL CHANGE ANYWAYS, WOULD HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT. TURNS OUT THAT IT WAS A LEAK FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. ALSO TURNS OUT THAT HONDA HAD NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH THIS ERA OF CARS AND DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL, ONLY A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048, WHEREAS OWNERS WERE COVERED WITHIN 10 YEARS OF PURCHASE, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. SINCE THE PROBLEM DID NOT MANIFEST ITSELF WITHIN THOSE 10 YEARS, I WOULD HAVE HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING TO BRING IT IN (DESPITE BEING SERVICED AT HONDA DEALERSHIPS IN THE INTERIM). THE CAR ONLY HAS 63K MILES ON IT AND IT'S PATENTLY ABSURD TO THINK THAT A DEFECT THAT THEY NOTICED HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE ON IT, PUNISHING LOW VOLUME DRIVERS--AS IN, HAD WE DRIVEN MORE FREQUENTLY, THE DEFECT WOULD'VE REVEALED ITSELF EARLIER, PERHAPS WITHIN THE WINDOW, AND PERHAPS SAVING US THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS AND URGE HONDA TO CHANGE ITS POLICY REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM WITH THIS ERA OF CIVICS.

THE ENGINE BLOCK ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC CRACKED, AND THE CAR BROKE DOWN TODAY. I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY DAUGHTER FROM RUNNING ERRANDS AND IT JUST DIED. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP. JUST GOT THE CALL SAYING THE BLOCK IS CRACKED, THAT IT MEANS A NEW ENGINE, THAT THERE WAS A 10 YEAR WARRANTY, BUT THAT I'M OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY. HONDA KNOWS CERTAIN YEARS OF CIVICS HAVE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, BUT THOSE OF US WHOSE CIVICS MADE IT LONGER BEFORE THE DEFECT KILLED THE ENGINE NOW BASICALLY HAVE SCRAP METAL. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IMMACULATELY MAINTAINED AND I HAVE ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS.

THE ENGINE BLOCK HAS A HAIRLINE CRACK AND THEY WONT COVER IT AS IT IS OVER THEIR "10 YEAR MARK " I AM A SECOND OWNER AND I BOUGHT THE CAR IN PERFECT CONDITION. FAST FORWARD A FEW YEARS LATER, AND I DO ALL OF MY MAINTENANCE, AND I WAKE UP AND THERES COOLANT ALL OVER MY GARAGE FLOOR. AND WHEN I CHANGED THE OIL IT SEEMED SLIMEY. I TOOK IT IN TO HONDA TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND THEY SAIDSINCE I AM OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD THEY ARE WILLING TO COVER 60% OF THE COSTS WHICH I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET $3200 ARE YOU KIDDING ME? FOR A DEFECT THAT WAS THERE FROM THE BEGINNING. I COULD REPLACE THE WHOLE ENGINE MYSELF FOR $1000. BUT ITS NOT MY PROBLEM. REGARDLESS OF THE MILES (170K) IVE HAD FORDS AND OLDER HONDAS THAT REACH WELL OVER 300K MILES AS LONG AS YOU TAKE CARE OF THEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.

CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND BURNED WHILE DRIVING. CONSUMER TOLD ENGINE WARRANTY NO LONGER VALID BECAUSE IT PAST.

ENGINE BLOCK IS CRACKED ..LEAKING COOLANT

MY ' 06 HONDA CIVIC HAS APPROXIMATELY 158,000 MILES. IT HAS RECEIVED MANUFACTURER SPECIFIED MAINTENANCE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN MAY '18, I NOTICED IT WAS OVERHEATING. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL MAINTENANCE GARAGE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THEY INFORMED ME THE THAT OVERHEATING WAS DUE TO A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH THE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THEY PRINTED THE MANUFACTURES PROCESS FOR IDENTIFYING AND CAUSE AND THE PROCESS FOR REPLACING THE ENGINE. SUBSEQUENTLY, I INFORMED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP OF THE ISSUE, THEY SAID THE MY VEHICLE FALLS OUTSIDE OF THE 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY THE PROVIDES COVERAGE/ ENGINE REPLACEMENT TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP CONDUCT THE OFFICIAL INSPECTION. THE INSPECTION COST IS 75.00 ALONE AND DOESN'T EVEN GUARANTEE THAT THE HONDA CORPORATION WILL EVEN LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE. THIS ISSUE IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO SAY THE LEAST.

CAR ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AND CASED ENGINE TO OVERHEAT LEAKED COOLANT ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND ROAD. 110K MILES ON THE CAR, ORIGINAL OWNER, ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AND CAR RARELY EVER SAW OVER 4K RPM.. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT, YET THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUED. YES, HONDA ISSUED A 10 YEAR 'EXTENSION' OF A WARRANTY AND CLAIMS TO HAVE NOTIFIED OWNERS VIA MAIL WHEN IT WAS OFFICIALLY 'ANNOUNCED' BACK IN 2014. I UNDERSTAND 'NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR' FROM AN OLDER CAR AND I WOULD EXPECT TO OWN THE COSTS FOR REPAIR... BUT AN ENGINE BLOCK CRACKING DUE TO A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT RENDERING A CAR UNUSABLE, AND HONDA EXPECTS YOU TO PAY 2600-5K TO MAKE THEIR CARS DERIVABLE AGAIN? THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT RESULTS IN ENGINE FAILURE AND OVERHEATING WHILE DRIVING (POTENTIAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE, TRAFFIC HAZARD, FIRE,ETC).

ENGINE BLOCK DEVELOPED CRACKS RESULTING IN COOLANT LEAK AND OVERHEATING. 130000 ORIGINAL MILES, I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. HONDA IS AWARE OF THE DESIGN PROBLEM BUT IS NOT WILLING TO DO A RECALL.

COOLANT IS LEAKING FROM A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. CAR IS 161K MILES AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. WHEN ON A TRIP FOR 3 MONTHS AND CAME BACK TO AN EMPTY RADIATOR. AFTER SERVICING THE RADIATOR STARTED NOTICING THE LEAKAGE.

CAR HEATING UP DUE AN ENGINE BLOCK CRACK COOLANT LEAK.

THE CAR WAS IN TRANSIT BETWEEN HOME AND LOCAL SHOPPING CENTER DURING XMAS WEEK OF 2017. AFTER 4MILES, THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR WENT OFF THE CHARTS FOR THE FIRST TIME. CAR WAS STOPPED, ALLOWED TO COOL DOWN - AND NOTE OF STEAM FROM UNDER BONNET, AND TOWED BACK HOME. TOOK IT THE HONDA DEALER WITHOUT DRIVING FURTHER (3MILES TO CAR CENTER). IN THIS TIME, TEMPERATURE INCREASE TO 3/4 OF GAUGE, AND WHEN WE LEFT, THERE WAS CLEAR BURRING ODOR. VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED, CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK NOTED - AND TOLD $4.6K TO FIX... AND THEN DETERMINED IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA CIVIC.... BUT HONDA DID NOT DEAL WITH IT! ACCORDING TO HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/CIVIC/2006/ 22% OF ALL FAILURES ARE ENGINE, AND 78% OF THE ENGINE ISSUES ARE CRACKING IN THE POWER BLOCK. IT IS THE SINGLE MOST COMPLAINT ISSUE WITH 178 NHTSA COMPLAINTS FILED ON THE HONDA CIVIC 2006. INTERESTING TO NOTE, IT WAS NOT A SAFETY CRITICAL ISSUE FOR RECALL BY HONDA (BUT ITI IS A SEVERITY RATING OF 10 - WITH MULTIPLE CAR FIRES AND AT LEAST ONE CRASH INCIDENT REPORTED TO NHTSA), BUT WHEN IN THE DEALERSHIP HANDS, IT IS COMPOUNDED FOR SAFETY REASONS! SPEAKING TO THE RECALL CENTER, THEY ARE IN POSITION TO DO ANYTHING. IF YOU WANT A FILE COMPLAINT - YOU NEED A CASE RECORD TO BE FILED. IT IS THEN REVIEWED BY A JUDGE PANEL TO ASSESS WHETHER HONDA BELIEVES THE ISSUE IS LIFE OR DEATH, AND UNDER OBLIGATED TO REPLACE A KNOWN FAULTY DEVICE. HONDA IS REPUTED TO HAVE QUALITY OVER COST - BUT CLEARLY, COST OVER LIFE IS IGNORED. AS A MATTER OF RECORD, IN 2010, THE HONDA DEALERS WERE TOLD OF THE FAULTY PART, BUT DON'T DO A MANDATORY CHECK (APPARENTLY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE IS NOT PART OF A SERVICE, NOR IS IT A REQUEST FOR SERVICE, AND THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION BY DEALERSHIP TO ADVISE OF ISSUE). ATTACHED IS MORE DETAIL FOR REVIEW. IN ESSENCE, HONDA REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT IS THEIR FAULT, AND TAKE NO BLAME.

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC THAT HAS 55,000 ON IT AND IT DEVELOPED THE KNOW ISSUE OF THE CRACK IN THE ENGINE AND IS NOW LEAKING ANTIFREEZE FROM THE CRACK. HONDA DID A WARRANTY CAMPAIGN ON THIS KNOWN PROBLEM BUT ONLY FOR 10 YEARS. I CALLED HONDA CORP AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD I WAS BEYOND THE 10 YEAR MARK AND ON MY OWN FOR THE REPAIR. I FEEL THAT IF HONDA KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM THEN THEY SHOULD COVER THE COST AND MAKE IT A RECALL NOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY CAMPAIGN. THIS CAR IS NOT DRIVEN AL LOT THAT WHY THE MILES ARE SO LOW. THIS HAPPENED AS MY SON WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL ON A TOWN ROAD.

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE CAR OVERHEATED. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THE HONDA DEALER SAID THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKING WAS A KNOWN DEFECT BUT SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY COULDN'T FIX IT.

OUR ENGINE BLOCK IS CRACKED COOLANT LEAKING AND CAUSING OVERHEATING.

CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK OUTSIDE OF 10 YEAR RECALL BECOMES FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF OWNER. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, IT SHOULD BE FULLY COVERED, REGARDLESS IF THE CAR IS OUTSIDE THE 10 YEAR PERIOD. HONDA IS USING THE COVERAGE PERIOD AS A COPOUT, ESPECIALLY AS I WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY NOTIFIED A RECALL.

MY 2006 CIVIC SLOWED TO A CRAWL AND STARTED SMOKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD ON THURSDAY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS OR PRECURSORS TO THIS EVENT. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO FIND A SAFE PLACE ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT BEING STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PRECIPITATING AN ACCIDENT. AAA TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC WHO RAN A COOLANT PRESSURE TEST WHICH REVEALED A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. I AM THE 2ND OWNER. THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT IN 2007 AS CERTIFIED FROM LOCAL DEALER. I WAS GIVEN NO NOTICE OF WARRANTY EXTENSION OR TSB 10-048. HAD I KNOWN, I WOULD HAVE SOLD THE VEHICLE BEFORE INCURRING THESE UNEXPECTED COSTS FOR AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

MY CAR HIT 164,000 MILES AND I WAS ON MY WAY BACK HOME FROM WORK AND TOOK THE STREETS INSTEAD OF THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I SEE THE TEMPERATURE ELECTRONIC GAUGE ALMOST REACH THE MAX WHICH HAS NEVER HAPPENED SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR AND IT WAS MAINTAINED PROPERLY. I THEN PULLED OVER THE SIDE AND SMELLED ANTI FREEZE AND THOUGHT IMEDIATELY THAT IT WAS MY WATER PUMP SINCE I THOUGHT THAT IT COULDN'T BE THE MOTOR SINCE IT WAS NEVER ABUSED OR MAINTAINED INCORRECTLY BUT THEN I POPPED THE HOOD OPEN AND SAW A HAIRLINE CRACK ON THE ENGINE BLOCK AND KNEW THAT I WOULD HAVE TO AT LEAST STOP A FEW TIMES AND WAIT FOR THE ENGINE TO COOL DOWN AND DRIVE AGAIN TO MAKE IT HOME AND THAT MY CAR WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE BLOCK OR NEW ENGINE. I THEN RESEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM OR IF IT WAS JUST MY CAR THAT HAD THIS PROBLEM AND SAW THAT IT WASN'T JUST MY CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM ON THEIR HONDA CIVIC AND I'M OUT OF LUCK SINCE MY CAR IS AN 06 AND THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY WON'T COVER IT ANYMORE AND NOW I WILL HAVE TO BE PAYING THIS DEFECTIVE ENGINE BLOCK REPAIR OUT OF MY OWN POCKET WHICH WON'T BE A CHEAP REPAIR THAT HONDA SHOULD HAVE AN UNLIMITED TIMEFRAME FOR THIS REPAIR SINCE THEY KNOW THAT IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART. I GOT LUCKY I WASN'T DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN DRIVING OTHERWISE IT MIGHT OF CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THIS WILL BE MY LAST HONDA I WILL BE BUYING EVER AGAIN DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY ONE DAY THERE WILL BE A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL AS I'M SURE WITHIN A FEW YEARS OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL WILL END UP HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE AND THIS ISN'T A A FEW HUNDRED DOLLAR REPAIR BUT A FEW THOUSAND DOLLAR REPAIR. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL SO THAT HONDA CAN FIX THIS COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I GOT LUCKY NOTHING HAPPENED TO ME BUT I'M NOT SURE IF OTHERS WILL HAVE THE SAME LUCK I HAD OF NOT BEING IN ONE.

ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AT 95K MILES. KNOWN PROBLEM. HONDA WON'T COVER.
