NHTSA Complaint #10981495 — 2006 HONDA CIVIC

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.
