NHTSA Complaint #11032037 — 2008 HONDA CIVIC

MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC CURRENTLY HAS 107,460 +/- MILES ON IT AND THE ENGINE BLOCK HAS CRACKED. THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED BY MY MECHANIC. I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. NHTSA REF# 10030876, TSB REF#SB-08-044 AND SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048. HONDA PUT A 10 YR EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE ENGINES FROM THE ORIGINAL DATE OF PURCHASE. MY CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED ON 09/27/2007. MY CAR BROKE DOWN ON 10/02/2017, 5 DAYS PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD. HONDA HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE MY ENGINE BLOCK, GIVING NO GRACE PERIOD ON THIS WARRANTY. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND MY CAR ONLY HAS 107,XXX MILES WHICH IS NOT A LOT BY TODAY'S STANDARDS.I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM AND FURTHERMORE HONDA SHOULD HAVE PUT A MILEAGE AMOUNT ON THE WARRANTY AS WELL.
