Consumer Description

I HAVE A HONDA CIVIC 4DR SEDAN 2006 PURCHASED IN NOV 2005, IT CURRENTLY HAS AROUND 43800 MILES. WHEN I TURN ON THE HEATER, I CAN SMELL STRONG BURNING ANTIFREEZE/COOLANT AND SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. FINALLY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AFTER LIVING WITH THE PROBLEM FOR 3 DAYS AND HE SAID I HAD A ENGINE LEAKING COOLANT WITH A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK AND HONDA IS READY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BLOCK AS THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. I AM WORRIED IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN. PLEASE ASK HONDA TO ISSUE A OFFICIAL RECALL NOTICE SO THAT MY ENGINE IS COVERED FOR ATLEAST THAT PARTICULAR PROBLEM, SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO PAY IF THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN ONCE MY WARRANTY IS DONE. *TR
