2007 HONDA CIVIC Engine Problems

YES HELLO I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX AND I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT. OK SO I WAS ON MY WAS HOME WITH MY WIFE ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STARTED SMOKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE BUT THANKFULLY MANAGE TO PULL OVER I LOOKED FOR THE PROBLEM BUT I DIDN'T FIND WHY. SO IT COOLS DOWN AND I ADD COOLANT IN THE RESERVE AND THE RAIDIATOR TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. SO WHEN I ARRIVED ANDTURNED MY CAR OFF I WAS ABLE TO HERE THE WATER ON THE HOT MOTOR SO I LOOKED FOR WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS COME TO FIND OUT THAT MY CAR HAD A CRACK GOING ACROSS THE BLOCK OF THE ENGINE. AND THAT'S WHERE IT LEAKS ALL THE COOLANT OUT FROM. THAT IS REALLY UNSAFE I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. PROBABLY...

CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK, LEAKING ENGINE COOLANT AND OVERHEATING

MY ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AND NOW THE HONDA BULLETIN IS SAYING I'M OUT OF THE TSB WARRANTY!!!! I'VE BEEN QUOTED WELL OVER $5,000 FOR A NEW ENGINE AND LABOR!!! PLEASE LIST THIS AS A RECALL!!!! IT IS UNFAIR FOR ME THE CONSUMER AND MANY OTHERS WHO MISSED THE WARRANTY!! MY ENGINE BLOCK JUST CRACKED TODAY AND TODAY I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THE 10YR EXTENSION FROM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE DATE!! HONDA FAILED TO REACH THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR THE POSSIBLE DEFECTIVE CAR AND NOW WE ARE STUCK TO SUFFER!

TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN, I AM THE SOLE OWNER OF A 2007 HONDA CIVIC WITH 57,576 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A FORMAL CLAIM AGAINST AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY FOR NOT EXTENDING THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE BLOCK DUE TO AN ENGINEERING/MANUFACTURING DEFECT DURING THE PRODUCTION OF THE VEHICLE. ON 2/1/18 MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED BY A HONDA CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN, WHO DETERMINED THAT MY ENGINE BLOCK WAS LEAKING COOLANT DUE TO A CRACK BETWEEN CYLINDERS 1 & 2 ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BLOCK. THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT HONDA ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE BLOCK TO COVER THIS ISSUE BUT MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED BY 3 MONTHS AND THEREFORE HONDA WOULD NOT COVER IT. SO, I DECIDED TO FILE A FORMAL CLAIM WITH HONDA AND AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH FOR A WEEK AND A HALF THEY AGREED TO...

KNOWN ISSUE OF CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK HAPPENING AROUND 90K-110K MILES. MINE JUST HIS 95K AND THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED. HONDA ONLY OFFERED TO FIX IT AT FULL RETAIL PRICE MINIMUM OF $4,000. THE CAR WORKED GREAT AND THEN STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY.

I'VE HAD MU CIVIC 11 YEARS AND DRIVEN THE CAR 167,000 MILES TROUBLE FREE. ON JAN 26, 2018 I DETECTED A SUDDEN COOLANT LEAK WITH ENGINE OVERHEATING AND STEAM COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS SHOCKED WHEN I WAS TOLD I HAD A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. I WAS FURTHER INFORMED HONDA HAD IDENTIFIED THE DEFECT AND EXTENDED A WARRANTY FOR IT. HOWEVER, I WAS ONE YEAR BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD. IT DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO ME. THE REPAIR COST WOULD HAVE BEEN EXCESSIVE SO I WOUND UP SELLING THE CAR FOR ITS PARTS VALUE. I'M A BIG HONDA SUPPORTER., I'VE HAD 6 OF THEM, BUT THIS LEFT A BAD TASTE. I STILL THINK HONDA SHOULD DO SOMETHING FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. I WOUND UP REPLACING IT WITH A SUBARU.

ENGINE BLOCK WARRANTY EXTENSION. I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT MY CAR STARTED TO OVERHEAT, AND THAT THE COOLANT WAS ALWAYS GONE WITH NO LEAKS. SO I BEGAN THE PROCESS OF CHANGING THE THERMOSTAT, IT ENDED UP NOT BEING THE THERMOSTAT. I CONTINUED THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO TRACK THE PROBLEM. AFTER A RADIATOR, HOSES WATER PUMP AND ALL OTHER THINGS A CAR WOULD NEED TO FUNCTION INVOLVING COOLANT WAS REPLACED I WAS LEFT CLUELESS AND STUMPED. THEREFORE, I WENT TO HONDA FORUMS AND GOOGLE, AND THAT IS WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR CIVICS BECAUSE THEY WERE DEVELOPING A PROBLEM WITH CRACKED BLOCKS. THIS EXPLAINED EVERYTHING, WENT TO FORUMS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS THE WORST AND BASICALLY TOLD MOST PEOPLE THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE DID NOT EVEN RECEIVE A NOTICE SUCH...

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE WITH ONLY 99K MILES AND DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT NOW HAS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. HONDA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN #10-048 WHICH STATES THE 2007 CIVIC AND OTHER YEARS HAVE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. MY CIVIC STARTED OVER HEATING ON DEC.25TH 2017 ON THE WAY OUT TO MY FAMILIES HOUSE FOR CHRISTMAS AND I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DUE TO THE OVERHEATING AND SMOKE WE SAW COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AFTER LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD I SAW THERE WAS NO COOLANT IN THE RESERVOIR AND I COULDN'T DETECT A COOLANT LEAK. THE NEXT DAY DEC.26TH 2017 I REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT ON MY CIVIC PRESUMING THAT THE THERMOSTAT WAS STICKING AND COOLANT WAS NOT CIRCULATING. THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE CASE BECAUSE YET AGAIN THE NEXT DAY DEC.27TH 2017 IT OVERHEATED AND I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE...

I HAVE 2007 HONDA CIVIC. I HAVE GOT ENGINE BLOCK LEAK PROBLEM. WHICH IS COSTING ME MORE THAN CAR VALUE. THIS IS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. SHOULD BE COVERED BY HONDA.

ENGINE BLOCK CRACKS AND LEAKING COOLANT. OUR 2007 HONDA CIVIC STARTED LEAKING FLUID ON 12/27/2017. THIS CAUSE TEMPERATURE TO BECOME RED WITH WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE FRONT HOOD WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND 3 MONTH BABY. IT LOOKS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. WE FOUND OUT HONDA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS TO 10 YEARS BECAUSE OF KNOWN DEFECTS. UNFORTUNATELY, I EXPERIENCED THE DEFECT 14 MONTHS AFTER MY CIVIC'S 10 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. HONDA CORPORATE AND OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT WILLING TO HONOR AND FIX THIS DEFECT. THE WANT TO CHARGE $5,000 TO FIX IT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS SO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS. A CAR SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT 11 YEARS OLD AND REQUIRE $5,000 REPAIR, AND POSE A RISK OF ENDANGERING A FAMILY WITH A NEWBORN SAFETY.

I WAS IN A HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE HEATED. I LET IT COOL DOWN AND FOUND OUT THAT THE COOLANT/ ANTIFREEZE HAD BEEN DEPLETED COMPLETELY. I REPLENISHED IT. LATER DIAGNOSIS RESULTED IN IDENTIFICATION OF CRACK FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. MY 2007 CIVIC HAD GONE OUT OF WARRANTY FOR THEIR EXTENDED 10 YEARS. IT HAS LOW MILEAGE OF 94000 MILES. THESE SPECIFIC PROBLEMS SEEM TO OCCUR IN HONDAS AT AROUND 90K TO 110K. SO FOR PEOPLE LIKE US WHO HAVE LOW MILEAGE, WE ARE NOT HELPED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN CHEATED. THE RECALL NUMBER IS A10-048

ENGINE BLOCK- ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED CAUSING MY TO LEAK FLUIDS AND HAVE MY CAR OVERHEAT INSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING. HONDA ISSUES A TEN YEAR WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE BLOCK BUT MY CAR IS FIVE MONTHS PAST DUE OF THE WARRANTY. HONDA KNEW THAT ITS ENGINE BLOCK WAS FLAWED AND REFUSES TO FIX IT EVEN THOUGH I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT.

THE 2007 HONDA CIVIC AS A KNOWN PROBLEM OF CRACKS IN ENGINE BLOCK. OVER TIME, THE CRACK CAUSES COOLANT LEAKAGE, AND WILL RENDER THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY INOPERATIVE. OUR 2007 HAS 77,000 MILES, AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY CITY STREET. SMOKE WAS DETETED; NEXT MINUTE THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT IS DOING ALL IT CAN TO AVOID A RECALL. THERE IS NO PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE THAT COULD BE DONE TO PREVENT THIS KNOWN MFG DEFECT.

"CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK" I OWN A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. I PURCHASED IT NEW FROM A HONDA DEALER AND JUST RECENTLY STARTING EXPERIENCING A COOLANT LEAK. AFTER A 35 MINUTE COMMUTE TO WORK, AS I GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE, I WOULD NOTICE A BURNT COOLANT SMELL. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND AS SOON AS I MENTION THE WORD COOLANT...MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THE AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2006 TO 2009 HONDA CIVIC'S THAT HAVE CRACK ENGINE BLOCKS WHICH CAUSES COOLANT TO LEAK OUT. I WAS FLABBERGASTED! I PURCHASED MY HONDA DUE TO THEIR REPUTATION OF RELIABILITY AND LONGEVITY. HOW COULD THEY BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND ONLY ISSUE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND NOT A RECALL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I CONTACTED THE AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION AND THEY SAID BASED ON MY VIN#, MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE...

CRACKED BLOCK 6 MONTHS AFTER WARRANTY PERIOD ENDED AND THEY WONT HELP ME AT ALL,

MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE OVERHEATED ON INTERSTATE IN FL AND STOPPED OPERATING. VEHICLE WOULD NOT START UP AGAIN AND REQUIRED TO BE TOWED.IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED AND LEAKING FLUIDS. HONDA KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED IN OCT OF 2006 AND INCIDENT OCCURRED IN SEPT OF 2017. MY VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT HONDA HAS ONLY OFFERED TO PAY $3000 OF THE $6100 REPAIR. I FIND THAT THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH AND THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT AND SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS MODEL AND NOT WAIT FOR THE ENGINE TO CRACK. THEY KNEW OF THIS DEFECT AND PLAYED THE ODDS THAT NOT ALL OF THE CARS WOULD BREAKDOWN. I NEVER EVEN RECIEVED THE NOTIFICATION OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT AFTER BREAKDOWN AND RESEARCHING IT ON INTERNET. A...

WE ARE TWO MONTHS TO THE DAY OUT OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM HONDA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THIS WAS MY WIFE'S MAIN VEHICLE, AND THANKFULLY THIS WAS NOT A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE THAT LEFT HER STRANDED. THIS IS NOT A SMALL COMPONENT FAILURE. THIS LEAVES THE CAR UNDRIVABLE AND PRACTICALLY WORTHLESS FOR TRADE-IN OR RESALE.

THE PASSENGER-SIDE MOTOR MOUNT HAS COLLAPSED PREMATURELY, CAUSING THE ENGINE VIBRATION TO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE FRAME OF THE CAR. THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA CIVIC OWNERS.

ON AUGUST 31, 2017 WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING AND SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE HOOD SUDDENLY. FORTUNATELY I MANAGED TO PULL OVER THE CAR TO A SAFE PLACE IMMEDIATELY BESIDE THE HIGHWAY OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A FATAL SITUATION. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEAN HONDA AT PITTSBURGH WHERE THEY PERFORMED THE DIAGNOSIS TO FIND THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY IDENTIFIED THAT THERE WAS CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK WHICH HAS CAUSED THE COOLANT TO LEAK FROM THE ENGINE AND HENCE OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE HAS HAPPENED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED AND FEW OTHER PARTS AS WELL (LIKE SPARK PLUG ETC.) TO MAKE THE CAR RUNNING AGAIN WHICH WOULD COST ME AROUND $4000. I DID SOME RESEARCH OVER THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THAT MOST OF THE 2006 TO...

MY CAR ALWAYS STAYED AT THE APPROPRIATE TEMPERATURE. NEVER ANY PROBLEMS. HAD MY OIL CHANGED FAITHFULLY AND FLUID CHECKED. AT ABOUT 84,000 MILES, MY ANTIFREEZE LEAKED QUITE EXTENSIVELY, MY ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND MY ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED. NO RYME OR REASON FOR IT. I HEARD THAT HONDA GAVE CIVIC OWNERS A 10-YEAR WARRANTY FROM DATE OF PURCHASE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED 10-YEARS AND 3 MONTHS AFTER THE DATE OF PURCHASE (MAY 2007). WHEN THIS OCCURRED, I WAS DOING CITY STREETS AND NOTICED IT WHEN IT WAS STATIONERY.

AFTER DRIVING MY CAR 3 MILES, I NOTICED STEAM COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I PARKED THE CAR AND IT HAD A SMELL OF RADIATOR FLUID. AFTER LETTING IT COOL, I LOOKED INSIDE THE RADIATOR AND NOTICED THERE WAS NO FLUID LEFT. WE FILLED IT UP AND BROUGHT IT TO THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THEY SAID THE ENGINE BLOCK HAD CRACKED. HONDA HAD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS FOR THE ORIGINAL SELL DATE FOR CARS WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, MY CAR IS OUT OF THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY BY 6 MONTHS.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THIS SPRING IN MAY 2016. IT HAS ONLY 46,000 MILES ON IT AS OF TODAY 1/9/17. I HAD NOTICED THIS FALL WHEN IT WAS GETTING COOLER OUTSIDE A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END. IT VIBRATES WHEN IN PARK, NEUTRAL AND WHEN BACKING UP. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COLLAPSED MOTOR MOUNT. I REALLY FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE CAR IS BARELY BROKEN IN. IS THERE ANY TYPE OF RECALL ON THIS?

AS IM DRIVING DOWN THE EASTERN COAST ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED MY CAR STARTED TO OVER HEAT AND WAS SEVERLY LEAKING ENGINE COOLANT. AN ATTEMPT TO REFILL ONLY RESULTED IN THE COOLANT POURING OUT FROM UNDER THE ENGINE. THIS LEFT ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITH NO CAR AND VERY LITTLE MONEY. MY CAR HAS STILL BEEN UNFIXED BY HONDA. *TR

THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK OF MY VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO LEAK COOLANT, WHICH LED TO THE VEHICLE OVERHEATING. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAVE MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY CAR AND NOW NEED A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND IT CAME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENSION WARRANTY FOR CRACK BLOCKAGE IN THE ENGINE OF HONDA'S BETWEEN 2006-EARLY 2009. FOR THAT I TOOK MY CAR IN BUT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IS ONLY OFFERING TO PAY FOR THE CRACKED BLOCK AND NOT THE DAMAGE DONE DO TO THIS ISSUE. NO LIGHT CAME ON TO WARN THAT THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING, THEREFORE I NEVER KNEW THERE WAS AN ISSUE UNTIL I COULD SMELL IT.

ON JULY 4, 2016 MY VEHICLE STARTED TO OVERHEAT I PULLED OVER JUST IN TIME TO ADD COOLANT AND WATER. 6 WEEKS LATER SAME THING. I PULLED IN PARKING SPOT AND FILLED IT UP AGAIN. VEHICLE WAS FINE. ON AUGUST 28TH I WAS DRIVING UP MT. SOLEDAD GOING 25 MPH WITH AC ON LOWEST NOTCH RPMS BELOW 3. THEN AS I STOPPED TO TURN LEFT MY ENGINE STOPPED (SEIZED ) I PULLED MY E-BRAKE AND SAFELY HAD MY BF WITH BY STANDER PUSH MY VEHICLE WHILE IN NEUTRAL. THEN I TRIED TO START VEHICLE NOTHING. AAA CAME OUT SAID MAYBE ITS FUEL PUMP, FUSES, SPARK PLUGS. THE NEXT DAY AFTER MY CAR HAD BEEN SITTING. I SPENT ALL AFTERNOON TROUBLE SHOOTING FOR ALTERNATOR, FUSE, FUEL PUMP USSUES.

STARTED LEAKING COOLANTE AND I NOTICE THAT LEAK COME FROM THE MIDLE OF THE MOTOR AND THE CAR STARTED HEATING UP (THIS HAPPEND ON THE STREET AND I NOTICE IT BECAUSE START SMELLING COOLANTE)

THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, TEMPERATURE GAGUE SHOT UP. MY LOCAL MECHANIC DIAGNOSED A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK ON MY HONDA CIVIC LX. I HAVE PERFORMED ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICES AND UPKEEP TO DATE. CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW. READ ONLINE ABOUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE BLOCK AND WAS TOLD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED IN TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER. WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM AS TO THE LOCATION OF THE CRACK TO KNOW IF THE REPAIR IS GOING TO BE WARRANTED.

CRACKED ENGINE CAUSED MY CAR COOLANT LEAKING. I TOOK IT TO THE 2 REPAIR CENTER. THEY ARE AGREEING IT IS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HONDA DEALER IS REPAIRING THOSE CARS WITH FREE BUT WON'T DO MINE BECAUSE MINE IS SALVAGE TITLED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT 3 YEARS AGO. I DON'T THINK IT IS FAIR. THE PROBLEM IS ORIGINATED FROM THE FACTORY. THEY ARE AVOIDING RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE SIMPLY IT IS SALVAGE TITLED. HONDA COMPANY DOESN'T CARE IF MY LIFE IS IN DANGER BECAUSE IT IS JUST SALVAGE TITLED?. I DON'T THINK THAT IS RIGHT HUMANITY. WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR, TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS GOING UP TO HOT RED ZONE AND I DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE ANY MORE SO I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP.

ON NOVEMBER 4, 2013, I WAS DRIVING THRU AT A MCDONALD'S WHEN MY ENGINE STEAMED OVER, SPILLING ANTIFREEZE. I TOWED IT TO MY BROTHER'S HOUSE AS I WAS AT LEAST 100 MILES FROM HOME. HE APPLIED A COOLANT PRESSURE TESTER TO THE RADIATOR AND FOUND A LEAK COMING FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. I HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED BY HIM. I FILED A CLAIM WITH HONDA UNDER THE RECALL TO GET MY MONEY BACK. HONDA REFUSED TO PAY THE CLAIM, EVEN THOUGH RECALL 10-048 FROM HONDA OFFERS TO REPAY CUSTOMERS FOR THEIR EXPENSE BY WARRANTY UP TO 8 YEARS AND UNLIMITED MILEAGE. AT THE TIME THE CAR WAS 7 YEARS, 1 MONTH OLD. I CLAIMED THIS TO HONDA IN AUGUST 2015, WAS DENIED IN SEPTEMBER, 2015, REASON GIVEN WAS THAT MY BROTHER IS NOT QUALIFIED AS A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE, BUT A COOLANT LEAK IS EASY TO FIND WITH A...

ENGINE TEMPERATURE GUAGE STARTED REGISTERING HOT, RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING OUT OF ENGINE, VEHICAL WAS TOWED TO BOB SUMERAL TIRE,THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR AND ADVISED ME THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED. CAR WAS TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS DEFECTIVE. IT WAS REPLACED WITH NEW PARTS. HONDA REFUSED TO PAY FOR CAR RENTALS DURING THE REPAIRS, OWNER HAD TO ABSORB COST. 2 WEEK RENTAL TIME [419.65]

I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA CIVIC 2007 ON A RAMP GOING FROM ONE HIGHWAY TO ANOTHER, WHEN IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND STARTED SMOKING. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR UNTIL IT STOPPED AND STARTED SMOKING. TURNS OUT THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED CREATING OVERHEATING. THE OVERHEATING CAUSED OTHER PARTS OF THE ENGINE TO MELT, THE SPARK PLUGS, OIL DIPSTICK, HEAD IS WARPED. *JS

AFTER ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, BY MY MECHANIC, AN OIL LEAK WAS NOTED. AFTER CLOSE INSPECTION ON A LIFT IT TURNED OUT TO BE SMALL FISSURES IN OIL PAN METAL(ALUMINUM). THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED, AND NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE METAL IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS MATTER AS AN OIL LEAK CAN HAVE DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES. I SPOKE TO HONDA(AMERICA) THIS AFTERNOON AND REPORTED IT. *TR

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR AND IT GOES INTO A SHIFT GEAR IT TUGS BACK AND FORTH THAN IT KICKS IN, IN ONLY DOES IT AT CERTAIN SPEED THAN IT STOPS. I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE ANY RECALLS ON THE TRANSMISSION AND IF ANY REPAIRS ARE BEING DONE OR HAVE BEEN DONE. I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL JUST BREAK APART IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXPRESSWAY AND CAUSE SOME PILEUP AND MY LIFE OR OTHERS MAY BE IN DANGER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AS USUAL AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING, WHEN I CAME TO THE STOP LIGHT THE FRONT RIGHT OF MY CARS HAD STREAMS OF SMOKE POURING OUT. I PULLED OVER AND THE CAR DIED, I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HE INDICATED THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE ENGINE. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE 2007 CIVIC FOR 10YEARS IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE OF THE 2007 CIVIC OVERHEATING AND CRACKING/DESTROYING THE ENGINE. IT IS MY HOPE THAT HONDA WILL REPLACE THE ENGINE AND HONOR/OWN THE DEFECTS. *TR

MY CAR BROKE DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AFTER THE ENGINE GOT OVERHEATED. HONDA CIVIC 2007 HAS SEND A FORM TO REIMBURSEMENT, AND NOW THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO PAY. *TR
