NHTSA Complaint #11055974 — 2006 HONDA CIVIC

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT. HAD THE ENGINE FAILED THIS MAY HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHIC EVENT. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND OTHERS HAVE NOT BEEN AS LUCKY AS I HAVE. HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF THIS MASSIVE PROBLEM AND HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE BLOCK TO 10 YEARS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE. HONDA WILL NOT RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM IF YOUR VEHICLE IS OVER THE 10 YEAR TIME FRAME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL REGARDLESS OF AGE AND MILEAGE. IT'S SHOULD BE ABOUT SAFETY FIRST. CURRENTLY HONDA ONLY RECOGNIZES THE PROBLEM AS A WARRANTY ISSUE NUMBER 10-048
