2008 Honda Civic Engine

CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK DURING NORMAL DRIVING. LEAKING COOLANT. KNOWN MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT BUT OUTSIDE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD.

TAKATA RECALL I CAME HOME FROM A 200 MILE TRIP & NOTICED COOLANT LEAKING FROM ENGINE WHEN I GOT OFF MY CAR AT MY HOUSE. THE ENGINE DID NOT GET HOT OR DID THE TEMPERATURE GAGE MOVE TO INDICATE ENGINE WAS HOT. I HAVE OWNED MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC SINCE 09/05/2009 & NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES. I REMEMBERED I HAD A LETTER FROM HONDA MAILED TO ME ABOUT 10 YR EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE OF MY CIVIC . I DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE UP UNTIL JULY 2018. I WAS IN DISBELIEF THAT THE WARRANTY HAD ALREADY BEEN EXPIRED. I WAS SO UPSET THAT I ALWAYS TOOK GOOD CARE OF MY CAR. I CHANGED OIL WHEN IT WAS SUPPOSED TO FLUIDS WERE NEVER LOW. I NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES UNTIL AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. IT WAS NOT MY FAULT AND THERE WAS NOT ANYTHING I COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT THE ENGINE BLOCK FROM CRACKING SINCE IT WAS A KNOWN DEFECT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP 50 MILES AWAY ON A FLAT BED TRAILER TO GET IT DIAGNOSED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID WARRANTY EXPIRED GAVE ME A BILL STATING ,SHORT ENGINE BLOCK ,RADIATOR ASSY, THERMOSTAT, RADIATIOR HOSES, BYPASS HOSES, TOTAL COST $7504.99 PARTS & LABOR HONDA WOULD COVER PORTION OF THE BILL. THEY DIDNT STATE WHAT PORTION OF THE BILL OR HOW MUCH OF THE BILL THEY WOULD COVER. I AM OUTRAGED THAT I PAID $16,450.00 FOR A HONDA CIVIC WITH A DEFECTIVE ENGINE. HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE DEFECT IT HAS ON ITS ENGINES AND SOLD ME A HARD WORKING AMERICAN CONSUMER A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. HONDA SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIER LEAKING COOLANT ENGINE PRODUCT. INSTEAD OF OFFERING TO PAY A PORTION OF THE BILL SINCE IT WAS NOT MY FAULT . I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITHOUT A VEHICLE SINCE JULY 2018 I WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA AGAIN.

WELL HONDA HAD A ENGINE BLOCK RECALL THAT I WASENT AWARE 10-048 OF AND NOW MY ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT COOLANT LEAKED ALL OVER THE PLACE AND NOW HONDA SAYS THEY WONT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I WAS OVER THE WARRANTY THAT I WAS NOT AWARE OF WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR .

CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK AT 107,000 MILES. ENGINE DRAINED OF COOLANT, AND THEN OVERHEATED ON THE HIGHWAY.

FOUND OUT TODAY THAT I HAVE A BLOCKED CRACK IN THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START LOST COOLANT

I AM THE 2ND OWNER OF MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC CURRENTLY WITH 65,000 MILES. ONE DAY DRIVING OUT OF NO WHERE MY CAR BEGINS TO HEAT WITH NO WARNING NO LIGHTS NOTHING. I HAD PULLED OVER AND TURNS OUT MY ENGINE BLOCK HAS CRACKED. I REACHED OUT TO AMERICAN HONDA , THIS IS A DEFECT IN ALL OF THERE HONDA CIVICS FROM 2006-2009. THEY DID HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS. BEING THE SECOND OWNER I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED, I WAS ONLY NOTIFIED OF A AIR BAG RECALL WHICH WAS FIXED. I AM ONLY ONE YEAR OVER THE WARRANTY WITH ONLY 65,000 MILES IN WHICH HONDA REFUSES TO REPLACE.THIS IS A DEFECT ON HONDA'S PART WHICH SHOULD BE CORRECTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT OIL LEAKED INTO THE COOLANT AND THE ENGINE LEAKED OIL. THE ENGINE OVERHEATED AND THEN LEAKED COOLANT FROM THE VENTS. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED DUE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER OVERHEATING. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW WATER PUMP, ONE OIL RING, AND A PLASTIC HOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED LAST YEAR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE HEATER STOPPED WORKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CROWN HONDA (7671 US. 19 NORTH, PINELLAS PARK, FA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON COOLANT. COOLANT WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. WHILE CHANGING THE OIL, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE ENGINE OIL WAS DISCOLORED DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS FAULTY AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

2008 HONDA CIVIC EX STARTING LEAKING ANTIFREEZE FROM ENGINE BLOCK.SON WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL AND CALL.TOLD HIM TO PULL OVER .WENT AND GOT HIM AND CAR.GOT CAR HOME AND SEEN ANTIFREEZE COMING FROM BLOCK.FOUND OUT BAD BLOCK FOR THAT YEAR.WAS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WITH ENGINE BLOCK .

AFTER 120,000 MILES I BEGAN TO SMELL ANTIFREEZE. I TOOK IT IN TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAIN AND SHOULD HAVE LAST LONGER. I SEARCH THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT TIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA CIVIC FROM 2006 AND 2009 AND THERE WAS A TSB 10-048 FROM HONDA. SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SECOND-HAND I DID NOT RECEIVE THE INFORMATION FROM HONDA ABOUT THE ENGINE DEFECT. THEY OFFERED A 10-YEAR WARRENTY BUT I HAVE EXCEED THIS BY 15 MONTHS.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN JULY 2018. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE CAR RAN HOT. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK HAD A CRACK AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I REPLACED THE MOTOR CAUSING ME $4257 DOLLARS. THE OWNER OF BOB MORTON GARAGE TOLD THAT SHE HAD BEEN TOLD BY THE HONDA'S REPRESENTATIVE THAT THERE HAD BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINES ON THE HONDA CIVIC CARS AND FOR ME TO CHECK IT OUT. I WAS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SPURTING FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING, SO THEY SUGGESTED THAT I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH I DID. IT WAS THE IDLER CAUSING PROBLEMS. I ASKED ONE OF THE EMPLOYEE HANDLING MY CAR THAT MORNING IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY RECALLS OR PROBLEMS WITH THE HONDA CIVIC CARS AND I WAS TOLD NO. THEN I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKING AND HAVING TO BE REPLACED. SINCE I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW IN TERMS OF REIMBURSEMENT.

MY USED 2008 HONDA CIVIC WAS OVERHEATING AND I DROPPED IT OFF AT MY GARAGE FOR EVALUATION. ON 2/14/2019, MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT MY ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED AND WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I CONTACTED NORTH AMERICAN HONDA, INC. AND REQUESTED THEY REPLACE THE ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY REFUSED AS THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND SALVAGED. I HAD NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH 2006-2009 CIVIC ENGINES AND THE WARRANTY. HAD I BEEN NOTIFIED BY HONDA, WHEN MY CAR WAS TOTALED IN 2014 BECAUSE OF A SEVERE HAIL STORM, I WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED THE $10,000 FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND BOUGHT A REPLACEMENT CAR. SINCE MY CAR IN 2014 WAS SIX YEARS OLD, I THOUGHT THAT ALL WARRANTIES HAD EXPIRED LONG AGO AND SALVAGING THE CAR APPEARED TO BE A GOOD DEAL. I GOT $10K AND HAD A MECHANICALLY AND OPERATIONALLY SOUND VEHICLE WITH LOW MILEAGE. RESEARCH HAS SINCE SHOWN THAT HUNDREDS OF CIVIC OWNERS WERE NOT NOTIFIED AND HONDA ROUTINELY STRICTLY ENFORCES THE WARRANTY. FOR FOUR YEARS HONDA WAS SELLING A DEFECTIVE CAR AND DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO HIDE FROM THE PUBLIC. MANY OWNERS RECOUNTED THE CAR JUST SHUTTING DOWN ON THEM. I OFTEN DROVE IN 70MPH SPEED LIMIT ZONES ON THE PA TURNPIKE IN HEAVY COMMUTER TRAFFIC. HAD MY ENGINE SHUT DOWN SUDDENLY THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT POSSIBILITY THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE SUBSEQUENT ACCIDENT. THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY NHTSA DID NOT FORCE HONDA TO ISSUE A PROVISIONAL RECALL. ALSO, HONDA SHOULD HAVE ISSUED AN UNLIMITED WARRANTY INSTEAD OF RESTRICTING THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE. IT APPEARS TO BE A CASE OF UNFAIR AND DECEPTIVE BUSINESS PRACTICE AT BEST AND OUTRIGHT FRAUD AT THE WORST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS SITTING IN THE VEHICLE WITH THE WINDOW ROLLED DOWN, HE DETECTED AN ODOR OF BURNING ANTIFREEZE. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD, BUT DID NOT SEE ANYTHING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TEAM ROSSI HONDA (1517 S DELSEA DR, VINELAND, NJ 08360, (856) 692-1700) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK FRACTURED BEHIND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

ENGINE BLOCK CRACK AT 107,980 MILE. 3 MONTHS OUT OF THE EXTENDED WARRENTY. HONDA TOOK 3 WEEKS TO GET BACK WITH US. THE GOOD WILL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ARGREED TO PAY 50% OF THE BLOCK REPAIR. COST FOR THE BLOCK ONLY WAS $2,200 WITHE THE DISCOUNT. THE REPAIR WOULD HAVE COST CLOSE TO $6000 FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX. JUST WANTED TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT. WASN'T SURE WERE TO DO THIS.

MY ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, CAUSING BILLOWS OF STEAM TO ERUPT FROM UNDER MY HOOD, PARTIALLY BLOCKING MY VISION WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE NOW LEAKS COOLANT AND NEEDS TO BE CONSTANTLY REFILLED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE OPERABLE. ENGINE BLOCKS DON'T JUST CRACK. HONDA KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES, BUT THEY WANT ME TO PAY MORE THAN $7000 TO REPAIR THE ENGINE! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK DOES NOT FALL UNDER REGULAR MAINTENANCE OR WEAR AND TEAR, NOT AT ANY MILEAGE, AND ESPECIALLY NOT AT 130,000. I WANT TO REITERATE THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS THE INITIAL POINT OF FAILURE, AS CONFIRMED BY BOTH HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO (HENDRICK HONDA, CHARLESTON SC) AND THAT THE ENGINE GOT SO HOT THAT IT BURNED AND MELTED THE DIPSTICK/TOP OF THE ENGINE

CATASTROPHIC MANUFACTURING ENGINE BLOCK FAILURE, AS SET FORTH IN HONDA TSB 10-048 & 08-044, WHICH RESULTED IN THE SUDDEN AND IMMEDIATE EXPULSION OF ALL COOLANT FROM THE VEHICLE RENDERING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE. PLEASE NOTE THAT IN ITS' TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS, HONDA DESCRIBES THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT AS "THE ENGINE (CYLINDER) BLOCK MAY LEAK COOLANT" . HOWEVER, IT IS NOT A SLOW LEAK, BECAUSE THE ENGINE COOLANT SYSTEM IS UNDER PRESSURE, WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING, WHEN THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKS ALL THE COOLANT IS SUDDEN EXPELLED FROM THE SYSTEM FORCING A MOTORIST TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER. BECAUSE YOU CANNOT KEEP DRIVING WITH NO COOLANT IN THE VEHICLE, IT IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT FORCES A DRIVER TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO SAFELY STOP THE CAR. IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN IF A CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL ITS' OIL OR ITS' BRAKES BECAUSE ALL THESE EVENTS FORCE YOU TO IMMEDIATELY AND UNEXPECTEDLY STOP DRIVING, WHICH IS DANGEROUS TO YOU, YOUR PASSENGERS, AND TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

I PURCHASED A 2008 HONDA CIVIC IN MAY OF 2018. I BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC TO MAKE SURE THE CAR WAS IN GOOD ENOUGH SHAPE TO GET ME FROM MASSACHUSETTS TO MONTANA AS I HAD JUST GRADUATED COLLEGE AND WAS MOVING FOR MY FIRST JOB. I WAS FOUR HOURS INTO MY TREK WHEN MY CAR BROKE DOWN LEAVING MY MOTHER AND I COMPLETELY STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE IN NEW YORK. WE HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED AND FOUND OUT 3 DAYS LATER IT WAS A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK (A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE HONDA CIVICS). THE REASON THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED WAS BECAUSE HONDA USED A CHEAPER METAL. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US IT WOULD COST AROUND $6,000 BECAUSE THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY ENDED. MY MOTHER AND I WERE STRANDED FOR 4 DAYS WHILE WE WAITED THIS OUT. I AM THANKFUL EVERYDAY THIS DIDN'T OCCUR IN THE MID-WEST OF THE COUNTRY WHERE THERE IS NO CELL SERVICE AS WE WOULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED WITH NO FOOD OR WATER AND NO WAY TO CONTACT ANYONE. HONDA PUT ALL OF US HONDA CIVIC OWNERS IN DANGER AND THEY NEED TO FIX THERE MISTAKE. HONDA IS PUTTING ANYONE WHO BUYS AN OLDER CAR IN DANGER.

NOISE FROM ENGINE WHEN STATIONARY OR PARKED. IN 2010, SERPENTINE BELT TENSIONER AND PIVOT BOLT REPLACED NOISE WENT AWAY BUT DEALER DID NOT KNOW HOW LONG WOULD LAST. NOW, SAME NOISE IS RETURNING WHICH CAN ONLY BE TENSIONER AND PIVOT BOLT AGAIN. VERY DISTINCT NOISE FOR THIS PROBLEM.

MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC JUST STARTED LEAKING COOLANT RECENTLY. IT ONLY HAD 70000 MILES ON IT.. I WAS AT A DEALER 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO CHANGE BRAKES AND I EVEN HAD THEM DO AN INSPECTION BUT THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS!! WEIRD!! BECAUSE LATER THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING, MY CAR STARTED OVERHEATING, REALLY BAD. TURNS OUT I WAS ALL OUT OFF ANTIFREEZE AND COOLANT. THE CAR STARTED OVERHEATING.I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER ON NORTHERN BLVD, NY AND THEY SAID THE BLOCK ENGINE IS CRACKED AND I ASKED ABOUT THE 10 YEARS EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE NASTY SALES GUY I WAS TALKING TO WAS VERY AGGRESSIVE AND ASKED TO CHANGE DIFFERENT AGENT..AND I WAITED 15 MINUTES AND ANOTHER GUY CAME AND EXPLAINED THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY CAR EXPIRED 4 WEEKS AGO AND I'M ONLY ALLOWED TO HAVE AN ENGINE REPLACED BUT I STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LABOR 13 HOURS LABOR..AT TOTAL PRICE OF 1800$ ... SINCE AND, HONESTLY, IF I HAD BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE I WOULD HAVE LOOKED AT OTHER VEHICLES...I'M SURE THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABOUT THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKING IN HONDA CIVIC 2008..THIS IS CRAZY ....I THOUGHT HONDA WERE SUPPOSED TO BE RELIABLE!

SEEPING COOLANT FROM THE ENGINE ,SMALL CRACK ON MOTOR BEHIND ALTERNATOR

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.

I HAVE A 2008 HONDA CIVIC WITH 50500 MILES. I BOUGHT USED A YEAR AND TWO MINS AGO. I BOUGHT IT OFF SOMEONE I KNEW THAT HAD FULL MAINTENCE RECORDS. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I STARTED HAVING TEMPERATURE ISSUES WITH IT SLOWLY LEAKING COOLOANT. I TOOK IT TO A TRUSTED MECHANIC AND HE SAID I HAD CRACK IN MY ENGINE BLOCK. I CALLED HONDA AND THAT I WAS OUTSIDE OF THE TEN YEAR WARRANTY EXTENSION. THEY HAVE A KNOWN DEFECTIVE ISSUE WITH THERE ENGINE BLOCK AND THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 4000 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I FOUND THIS RIDICULOUS THAT A CAR WITH 50000 HAS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. I BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE RELIABLE. NEVER AGAIN

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.
