NHTSA Complaint #10336493 — 2007 HONDA CIVIC

I WAS DRIVING LOCALLY YESTERDAY, AND MY CAR OVERHEATED. I PULLED OVER AND LET THE ENGINE COOL DOWN, THEN CHECKED THE COOLANT IN THE RADIATOR. IT WAS EMPTY, AS WAS THE RESERVE TANK. AFTER LETTING THE CAR COMPLETELY COOL, I DROVE IT TO THE LOCAL GAS STATION AND PURCHASED SOME ENGINE COOLANT. I FILLED UP THE RADIATOR AND THE RESERVE TANK, AND DROVE HOME. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT AT A DEALER FOR TODAY ALREADY, SO I BROUGHT THIS UP TO THEM. THEY SAID IT WAS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. THIS CAR IS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX, WITH ~65K MILES ON IT. IT'S NOT EVEN 4 YEARS OLD YET. I'M WAITING ON THE DEALER TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH THIS WILL COST ME. *TR
