NHTSA Complaint #11054595 — 2006 HONDA CIVIC

LAST WEEK I WAS CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID ON MY HONDA CIVIC AND NOTICED COOLANT LEAKING AND TURNED OUT THAT MY ENGINE BLOCK IS CRACKED AND LEAKING COOLANT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND HONDA HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048. I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THIS. I CALLED HONDA AND TURNS OUT I WAS TOO LATE TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS SERVICE BULLETIN. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ERROR AND HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CORRECTED PART. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR OUT OF MY POCKET AND EVEN IF I CAN I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE CHEAPEST ROUT AND BUY A SECOND HAND ENGINE AND I WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. IF CAN GET ANY HELP FORM YOU WITH THIS IT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS SITUATION. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL BECAUSE THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER AND I ALSO USE IT FOR THE THE RIDE SHARING PLATFORM UBER. THE ENGINE MAY BLOW UP WHILE I'M DRIVING SO THIS IS NOT SAFE AND HONDA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS. THANK YOU
