NHTSA Complaint #11104795 — 2006 HONDA CIVIC

THE ENGINE BLOCK ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC CRACKED, AND THE CAR BROKE DOWN TODAY. I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY DAUGHTER FROM RUNNING ERRANDS AND IT JUST DIED. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP. JUST GOT THE CALL SAYING THE BLOCK IS CRACKED, THAT IT MEANS A NEW ENGINE, THAT THERE WAS A 10 YEAR WARRANTY, BUT THAT I'M OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY. HONDA KNOWS CERTAIN YEARS OF CIVICS HAVE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, BUT THOSE OF US WHOSE CIVICS MADE IT LONGER BEFORE THE DEFECT KILLED THE ENGINE NOW BASICALLY HAVE SCRAP METAL. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IMMACULATELY MAINTAINED AND I HAVE ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS.
