NHTSA Complaint #11031427 — 2006 HONDA CIVIC

AFTER TAKING THE CAR OUR 2006 HONDA CIVIC MODEL TO HONDA DEALER SERVICE FOR TSB 10-048 FOR (HONDA CIVIC 2006-2009 YEAR MODEL) DUE TO ENGINE COOLANT LEAK WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO OVERHEATS WHILE HE WAS DRIVING FROM HIS WORK, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS A VALID ENGINE DEFECT,BY HONDA TECHNICIAN - A CRACKED ON ENGINE BLOCK WAS THE CAUSED OF THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, SINCE WE BOTH THE CAR ORIGINALLY FROM THE SAME HONDA DEALER PLACE WITH THE DELIVERY DATE OF OCTOBER 2005. THEY CONSIDER THE CAR AS 11 YEARS OLD AND OUTSIDE THEIR 10 YEARS WARRANTY AND THE ONLY WARRANTY THE AMERICAN HONDA CORP WILL BE 50 PERCENT OF THE PARTS AND LABOR COST FOR REMOVING AND REPLACING AN ENGINE. MY POINT IS, ITS BECAUSE MY CAR MODEL BETWEEN WAS PURCHASED OCT 2005 AND NOT 2006 THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE A FULL WARRANTY COVERAGE THE MANUFACTURE DEFECT FROM THE COMPANY? OUR ENTIRE FAMILY AND HOUSEHOLD OWNS 5 HONDA CARS, 3 CIVICS, 1 ACCORD AND 1 CRV WITH THE TRUST ON THE PRODUCT THEY HAVE IN THE PAST. HOW CAN'T THEY MAINTAIN A GOOD QUALITY PRODUCT ON THE LINE. THIS IS THE 2ND CIVIC IN OUR HOUSEHOLD WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, OUR DAUGHTER'S 2008 HONDA CIVIC HAD THE THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE AT NO COST LAST SUMMER 2016. WHY CAN'T THEY FULLY COVER THIS ONE, WITH THE SAME ENGINE DEFECT JUST BECAUSE IT WAS PURCHASED 3 MONTHS SHY FROM THE DELIVERY DATE BEFORE 2006. HONDA WOULD LIKE US TO PAY $2000 FOR THEM TO PERFORM UNSCHEDULE REPAIR DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE THEY INSTALL ON THE CIVIC'S CAR BETWEEN (2006-2009). HOW MANY CONSUMERS WHO PURCHASED THOSE CIVIC'S THAT ARE NOT AWARE OF THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AND UNAWARE OF THE TSB BUT INSTEAD DECIDED TO SHOULDER THE ENTIRE COST HAVE AN OPERATIONAL CAR IN THE HOUSEHOLD, BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL CONSIDERED TO SEND TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? HOPE THIS ISSUE GETS RESOLVE.
