NHTSA Complaint #11228695 — 2007 HONDA CIVIC

HAS CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY HONDA FOR '06,'07',08 AND SOME '9 CIVIC DUE TO A MANUFACTURE DEFECT ON THE BLOCK. HONDA UPGRADED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE. THE CRACK OCCURS BETWEEN 95K-110K MILES. I HAVE 101K ON MY CAR. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY PERIOD THEREFORE HONDA HAS DENIED FIXING MY VEHICLE. HONDA SHOULD HAVE RECALLED INSTEAD OF WARRANTY PERIOD SINCE IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THERE ARE MANY OF US WHO DO NOT DRIVE OUR CAR AS MUCH. I ALSO PURCHASED THE EXTRA WARRANTY FOR PIECE OF MIND AT THE TIME OF THE PURCHASE AND HONDA STILL WILL NOT BUDGE.
