Honda just put out a recall of over 180,000 Civic Sedans, which includes model years 2006 and 2007. Yikes. Most of the recalls that I post about here are from the domestic side, so it’s interesting to see such a large recall from a company like Honda. Toyota has suffered through it’s share of high-profile recalls lately, and still maintained their image though. So I doubt this recall, even though it is huge, will adversely affect Honda’s reputation.
Anyway enough chatter. What’s the recall for? Oh, nothing major… just a faulty wheel bearing that could cause one of the wheels to fall off. You know, fall of the car, as in while you’re driving. If that isn’t scary, then you need to get your head checked.
Honda will be sending out the usual letters to the affected owners. If you’re worried, call your dealer for more information. For the rest of us, I’d advise following late-model Civics at a safe distance for awhile, and keep your eyes open for flying wheels.

hi resently i am having a problem with my 06 civic ex the pedal brake is going all the way down and when it get there the car stop in the place in less than a second what can it be???? thanxs and sorry my bad english i am new on this country my firends thank u again
I have a 2007 Honda Civic. Found out today that the engine block is cracked. I am a single mother, and I use this car daily at work to transport foster care children. Honda is having someone to look at the car to determine if it will be replaced under the extended warranty. Well…I have news….I want a new engine or my money back. I HATE THIS CAR!!!! I have owned Honda’s in the past, and never had a problem with any of the other cars. I have had to put 4 sets of tires on this car, it will not stay aligned, and it makes awful road noise. Of course no one else is having problems with their vehicle according to the Honda dealership. They need to recall the cars before someone gets killed. In addition, make sure if you use road side assistance that you demand that a local company picks the car up. I had to pay an additional $160.00 because they called a company one hour away from where my car was located.
Hello:
I owned a 2006 civic and recently traded it in for a 2007 Altima. I had to get rid of my car before I experienced a cracked engine block. I have had problems with the tires and the brakes. Honda is not going to take ownership of any of the problems everyone has been having with this car. Since I have been driving I have always owned a Honda. I wil never buy one again and do not recommend anyone buy a civic. If you are smart trade yours in before i tis to late!!!!!!!!!!
I had many problems with my 2007 Honda civic coupe…both wheel bearing worn out after 10,000 miles..(covered under warranty)and other suspension problems..control arms and a popping sound in the steering…after 11,500 miles bother front tires werre unevenly worn down and Honda would only pro rate the replacement. In August 2008 I went to take the car to the dealership to have my tires looked at and decided to trade it in for a 2009 Honda Civic SI Sedan I have 8,000 mile on this car and have had no problems at all. Maybe they worked the kinks out.
Zenia – When you traded in your 2006 Civic for the 2007 Toyota Altima did you make an even trade and pay the difference, or did you lose a lot of money? I just bought a 2007 Honda Civic, and I do not feel safe in it. At 17K miles after a week with the car, the thermostat broke (it was faulty) and my car overheated. They replaced the thermostat and it appears to be fine. However, I had a 1986, inherited Honda Accord, which I would never buy, and it had numerous problems with the CV joints and brakes. I don’t know what possessed me to buy this stupid car, but I’d say buy a Ford Focus, a gorgeous interior and adjustable seated Jetta or a Mazda. I have an LX, and they couldn’t even splurge for rear-wheel discs. I am not going to accept less than a full refund, less the mileage depreciation. My steering pulls to the right and the CV joints and the struts make horrible noises and sound like they are going to break over every bump in the road. Every divit in the road throws off my steering. Also, my head bumps the entire time I’m driving, and what’s up with the non-adjustable head rests. My head is pushed forward. Last, the telescoping steering wheel hardly comes out. I’m disgusted, and I’m not going to be stuck with this car. Thank you for all of the input, and I’m going to get out this before it’s too late.
I bought a Civic 2007 EX about six weeks ago. I am very upset too. I noticed this vibration, kind of like you are sitting in a vibrator chair. My legs were affected up to my knees. The problem is it doesn’t do it all the time to the point that it’s noticeable to the repairman. So, they told me there is nothing wrong with it. That’s how Civics drive. The fixed that arm and paid for 2 new tires. I had to come up with the other two. Then they balanced a couple of tires and said it was fine. I even paid for the extended warranty when I purchased it. How do I ever get that money back if I wanted to trade it in? I don’t think they would take the car back and give me a refund. I don’t know what to do.
I too had a rear control arm problem. They were replaced. BUT honda only offered to pay for half of my tires. I got nowhere with the snotty girls at honda so i said i would take them to small claims court. I did just that. I guess after receiving their summons an advisor called me to tell me to go to dealer to get 4 new tires put on. HONDA has become a real scumbag company. They will lie to you so you pay for their engineering problems. This civic is a piece of JUNK. Thousands upon thousands of people have this problem and are getting thre run around.I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN. You would have to be an idiot to. Other companies have almost double the warranty.
Okay… the things I’ve had to have done to my 2007 Honda Civic EX…
Wheel barrings replaced, they would not contribute ANY to the damage done to tires. This also required a ‘complimentary’ alignment.
New window motor in driver’s door.
Some replacement part (recall) on the water pump.
Both inside visor’s replaced, in which they cracked my interior headliner and had to replace it. BY THE WAY, they have to replace my driver side visor again this weekend.
Replace some kind of wheel coil in steering wheel, it made this horrible winding noise everytime I turned the steering wheel.
Replace my condensor – not their fault. Supposedly, a rock hit it.
Replace Sunroof visor 2x. It’s ’splitting’ again and they say it’s out of their control.
Secondary issues…
Had to pay to have tires re-aligned and rebalanced elsewhere b/c Honda couldn’t get it right after 2 tries!
They scratched my driver side tint putting window motor in driver’s door which I made them pay to replace.
They scratched my windshield tint and my dashboard when putting new headliner in – they replaced tint and had to buff out the scratch. Would you believe I had to ASK them to do that?
Give me a few minutes… I’m sure I’ve forgotten something(s)!!!
I have owned 3 honda civics and never had a problem yet,but now I have the 2007 civic si sedan and it is the best in its class,it does have premature wear on the rear tires currently has 25,000 miles on it and I think I could sqeeze another 10,000 on the rear tires,I have contacted the dealer about the issue and rihgt away he told me it was the rear upper control arms and to bring the car in to address the problem,going next week and he would pro rate the tires, micholine tires and they are $220.00 for just one tire. Also he said it is not a recall but luckilly I’m still under warrenty and it will be coverd,and I have aftermarket parts on it too,high flow cat coverter,torch damper,cold air intake,rear swaybar,strutowerbar,ct.headers,and a 02 ceancer elliminator
I had the control arms replaces about a year ago and 20,000 miles later, my rear tires are destroyed. I will be going to the dealer tomorrow!
I too have a 2006 civic lx (80K miles) that the engine blocked cracked on. I see TSB #08-044 and I am contacting Honda. I think that it is a bunch of !@#$% that Honda does not do a recall on this engine and fix the problem correctly and not let the owners have to go to them to correct the problem.
Update: After 5 people, not one would listen to me. They said that Honda is not responsible for anything atfer 3 yrs/36,000 miles even if there engine is defective. I went to Nat. Highway Trans. Board and they are contacting Honda. Gave them this websites and ‘crackedengines.com’ for more issues.
I don’t care what Nissan or Dodge is doing. I bought a Honda because I thought they were better and had a good reputation.
I will NEVER buy another Honda. WHY:
1. The owner of the Honda dealership laughed at me when I explained about the problems with the rear tires being chewed up.
Along with the people in the shop they said the tires had to be rotated every 3,000 miles (that way you have four chewed up tires.
2. After contacting the Honda main office in Calf., I finally made it clear that I was going to do a web page featuring the problem. Then they decided to put the new arms on the rear and solve the problem. However they didn’t pay for the eight tires which had been chewed up.
3. So I was treated badly by the dealer, the company would not recall the defective cars, when they did fix the problem they would not replace the tires. They produced the defective cars for over two years and are trying to keep it out of the spotlight and will not fix anything unless you push them.
It’s not the recalls that bother me, it’s the lack of recalls by Honda. I will buy a Nissan next time.
I have a 2007 Honda Civic SI which I bought new with only 10 miles. I first started noticing problem with back tires after about 10,000 miles. My 16 year old daughter was driving on the interstate and I heard what I thought was a tire going flat. We immediately pulled over and the back right tire was completely eatten up. Put the dummy tire on and travelled to tire dealership and they could not believe that tire did what it did. Since then I have had to replace the front tires and just 2 weeks ago have had to replace the back tires. I kept hearing a loud noise coming from the back tires. Dealership told me that it was only because they were high performance tires. I didn’t believe that because when I first got it didnt hear it and I couldnt even hear the radio….After reading the above notes, yes….we as consumers need to STAND UP TO HONDA…AFTER ALL ….IF WE DON”T BUY THERE PRODUCT…WHAT WILL HAPPEN….THEY WILL GO OUT OF BUSINESS….IF SOMEONE HAS SOME SUGGESTIONS AS TO HOW TO GET A CLASS ACTION SUIT STARTED….I WILL BE GLAD TO START THE PROCESS…JUST LET ME KNOW ….I HAVE CONTACTED ALL THE ABOVE HONDA COMPLAINT NUMBERS AND NATIONAL SAFETY …ENOUGH IS ENOUGH….AND WHEN YOU PAY THE PRICES THAT WE PAY FOR A CAR YOU WOULD THINK THAT CAR MAKERS WOULD LISTEN….MAYBE THEY WILL WHEN WE FILE A SUIT…WHAT TO YOU THINK….Oh…and by the way….My drivers side visor is broke also and they wont replace
I bought my 2008 Honda Civic LX Sedan last June and it’s got about 10,000 miles on it. I happened to be driving down a freeway at about 50 – 60 mph when the car suddenly started to wobble out of control and slammed into right side of the freeway. I just had a friend whose 2007 Civic needed tire replacements due to cupping and I’m beginning to wonder if the same holds for the 2008 model. Does anybody know where I can find more information to show my insurance company?
My 2007 Honda civic hybrid has a grinding noise coming from the front end of the car. It has gotten progressively worse over the past few months. The car has never been in an accident an has only 30,000 miles on it. Does anyone know if this could be related to the wheel bearing recall?
My 2007 Honda civic hybrid has a strange grinding noise coming from the front end, very noticable at low speeds. The car has never been in an accident and has only 30,000 miles on it. Does anyone know if this could be related to the wheel bearing recall? The noise has gotten progressively worse of the last several months.
CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK 2006 HONDA CIVIC.
As I was driving about 2 weeks ago, I noticed my car overheating. I was about 2 exits away from the Honda dealership. I have been informed that the engine block/head is cracked. I have pleaded with Honda, and they are doing nothing.
2006 CIVIC CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK
I started noticing the smell of coolant for a few days and then my 2006 Civic with 55K miles on it began overheating. Took it to the dealer today and they say I have a cracked engine block. Luckily it is still under warranty, but I am still pretty shocked.
Justin Kalis, how did you take care of that CEL (code P0812)? what was the cause of this? I’m at dead end,tried replacing cluster,switch ,checked all wiring,connectors, light still come back on
Anyone else have P0812 code triggering the Check Engine Light?
I have a 2008 Honda Civic LX. A rear tire went flat because of a nail so I took it to a tire dealer and had it plugged and I asked that they rotate the tires. They said that they would not because the rear tire was cupped badly and if they rotated it up front it would affect handling. They mentioned that cupping was caused by a bad shock/strut.
I took it to the Honda dealer and originaly they tried the “you did not rotate the tire enough – its your fault” crap. I told them tire rotation had nothing to do with this problem. They aligned it for free telling me that civics have a problem with the way the factory sets the camber & tow (alignment) . They said it caused the tire to skip on the road causing the tire to cup. They said there was no problem with the shock/strut.
I asked for a new tire and they said – no. It was not in their power to replace the tire. The alignment was all they were authorized to do. I just returned from getting quotes to replace both rear tires and even a cheap set is $200 not including align & balance.
I will contact Honda America today to report this and ask for the tires to be replaced. This it the 1st Honda I’ve owned and part of the reason I purchased it was because of the quality they are know for.
I’ve now had (2) warrenty issues: the sun visor cracked and the tires are ruined.
This is NOT quality!
The rear upper control arm fix by Honda is not going to fix the rear tire wear because the problem is in the geometry. The more weight you carry in the rear of the 06/07/08/09 Civic the more uneven tire wear you are going to experience. When you apply more weight on the rear suspension, you get more negative camber which in turn causes more rear wheel toe in, which causes the uneven tire wear. You heard it here first!!!
I have an 06 Civic LX sedan, bought new, 60k miles ago. For the last few thousand miles, when I go over a decent-sized bump on the freeway, there is a side-to-side jerk in the rear end. I tried to explain this to the dealer over the phone and he said he’d never heard of such a thing. Has anyone else experienced this? Do the “control arms” affect this?
BTW, I have also had to have both drivers and passengers side visors replaced due to failure. And the factory tires were pathetic in snow. Very little to complain about otherwise, really. I typically am getting high 30’s for mpg. Once in a while I’ve hit 40.
My 2008 Honda Civic EX has 38,000 miles and is currently in the shop for a cracked engine block. I was driving in town and noticed that nasty smell when you have coolant leaking and then looked at my temp gauge which was already at the top. I quickly pulled into a nearby automotive shop because I know that you are not supposed to drive your car when it’s overheated. After a couple of hours they called me and said they couldn’t believe it but the engine block was cracked and told me I should contact Honda and have then tow it to their service department. I called Honda and they would not cover the towing so I called AAA for towing. The next day the Honda dealer calls me to confirm that I indeed have a cracked engine block and luckily my car was under the powertrain warranty which is 50k miles. They said this was very unusual and the service rep told me that he had never seen this before with so few miles. They said they would need to order parts and should have it back to me by end of the following week. I asked if they would provide a loaner car and they said no, because I didn’t have an extended service contract with them. I was referred to a car rental that would provide me with a discount. I am driving a Kia Spectra for $30/day.
Anyways, that was not my first incident. I also had the cracked drivers side visor which was replaced when I brought it in for servicing. At the same time, they rotated my tires, and as I drove away I noticed that my tires were bumping and everything was rattling inside my car. I took it back and they said my tires had worn unevenly because I didn’t have then rotated when they should have been. I said that regardless of the rotation, there was no way the tires would wear out in such a fashion. The service rep at first thought it was the control arms but then quickly recanted when he realized that the service memo was actually for earlier Civics and did not include 2008. At which point he said mine should be good. I then decided to retrieve my car and go get my tires elsewhere…. I can’t believe how similar my issues are to what I have read from other people. I also bought a Honda Civic for the first time because of all the good things I have read and heard about the reliability and quality. Consumer Reports gave the Honda Civic one of the highest ratings! I intend to ask Honda to repay me for the rental car and I also intend to send the my invoice for the tires and ask them to reimburse me. I think this is ridiculous that so many Honda Civic owners have had issues and Honda has not responded appropriately. I would think they would have everything worked out by 2008. I think they are still using the same defective parts!
I have a 2007 civic with 20k just got the bad rear control arms replaced honda refuses to replace the tires that thier bad product ruined I found a lawyer looking in to doing a class action Timothy Frantz

Has anyone had any problems with the front wheels of 2007 Honda Civics? I know nothing about cars, so I can only describe what I saw. My daughter was in an accident near our home. When I reached the accident site, the right front wheel and part of a rod that attached the wheel to the car were laying about 150 feet from where the car finally stopped. It seems as if the wheel fell off, caused the car to go into the side of a mountain, then flip over and skid uphill for about 150 feet. She wasn’t speeding – they determined she was traveling about 40 miles an hour. I notified my insurance company the day of the accident that it seemed as if the wheel came off and caused the accident. They have done nothing – except destroy the car.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
My Honda Civic EX 2007 coupe decided to break on me on Tuesday.
The rear control arm snapped in half, and if I went a mile
further, the tire would’ve flew off and I would’ve lost control.
The material used on the rear control arm is completely unsafe in my opinion, and whoever would possibly even think of using molded metal instead of steel for a rear control arm on a vehicle should
definitely be placed in court for attempted manslaughter. The lack of commitment to use quality parts in their vehicles, such as Toyota does, makes Honda worse than any other company out there. What is this act of placing faulty materials on a vehicle? An attempt at population control?
Since when did I deserve to spend well over 20 grand for a vehicle, and have to live in absolute fear for my life? Honda corp, do you know what is scientifically supposed to happen 99.9999999% of the time when your rear control arm snaps because of faulty material? You are supposed to lose complete control of your vehicle, you are supposed to spin a few times on the freeway, you are supposed to get hit by a few cars, you are supposed to flip over a few times in your car, and end up
dead.
How I have survived this traumatic experience, I have absolutely no clue. Buyers beware, Honda could care less about your
life, and only wishes to expand it’s bottom line to earn more money. I looked online and found countless sites of people who have had the same issue as myself with their rear control arm. I called Honda Corp. to address the problem, all they said was that they were glad I was alive, but refused to service my vehicle in any way. They said it was my problem, and that I should go about my own means to figure out how to solve the issue.
I wish for Honda Corp. to replace my faulty rear control arm that broke, and all additional parts that were damaged in the process.
Hundreds of other people have had the same issue I have had, yet not to the same extreme. I wish for Honda Corp. to issue a
national recall on the vehicle. It is necessary for me to address my concerns that will force Honda Corp. to stand up to their
mistakes and address their problems and solve them.
If Honda refuses to address my issues, I will definitely have no issues in contacting the local news media to address my issues, and at the same time contact an attorney to litigate Honda Corp. for attempted manslaughter.
If anyone knows how I can get in contact of experts in these fields in the Los Angeles area, my name is Leonard Kim and my email address is lennykim@gmail.com and my phone number is 213.327.9764.

08-001 Uneven or Rapid tire wear
Believe it or not, I just got to work from my Honda Dealership in Beford, OH. Seems that, for whatever reason, my 2006 Honda Civic LX (manual transmission)with 71,000 miles on it has a cracked engine block. I know for a fact that this one was made in Canada because I had the local Honda dealer look for one and they stated that the manny tranny’s are only made in Ontario, CA. They want $3k for a new engine, but the Manager is looking into Honda covering this one. I’ve had ALL my servicing and repairs done at the dealer, so if they missed something it should be on their dime. I’d love to hear if anyone else is having this same problem, and if there is a recall or some other info from Honda regarding this issue. I purchased the Civic with the idea of rolling over 200,000 miles, but I didn’t even make 100,000. My 1975 Dodge Dart, 1986 Isuzu Pup, 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and 2001 Volkswagen Passat all made 100,000 miles with no major repairs. I’m hoping that Honda does the “right” thing and replaces my engine. I’d even test out a diesel engine if they’d be willing to drop one in it.
Well, just as everyone else has found. Honda offered to pay for 50% of the engine replacement. With this type of design or cast flaw, I told them that I needed more than that. They’ll not give it to me, so I’m taking things into my own hands. I’ve filed a complaint with the National Transit Safety Board (NTSB), I’ve called the 800-999-1009 Customer Service line for Honda in California, I’ve called my local Better Business Bureau (BBB) and filed a complaint, and I’ll be filing a complaint with the Attorney General of the State of Ohio. I figure that someone needs to push this issue for those of us that have long commutes and are getting burned by a serious design flaw or casting flaw that Honda doesn’t want to deal with. Seriously, I’m only at 71,000 miles – that is young for what used to be quality Honda engines. Looks like they’ve taken a page out of the Yugo playbook with the Civic engines.If I had 171,000 miles on this vehicle, I wouldn’t even think twice.
So, if anyone from Honda is reading this, I’ll NOT be leasing another Honda Odyssey next March when my current lease is up, and if I don’t get at least 75% of the cost of a new engine covered, I’ll go ahead and repair this POS, and I’ll dump is as soon as it is paid off. Never another Honda. I’m going back to Toyota, or may give KIA a chance. Hey 100,000 miles, they must be doing something right. And, I already know that other manufacturers will have issues, but I’ve never had to pay for a dead engine after following a manufacturers service schedule to the letter. I even had all of the servicing done at a Honda dealership, and it still didn’t help!
k7iou – CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK on Jan 9th, 2009 at 4:15 am
SEE THE ABOVE DATED ENTRY. HONDA COVERED MINE AND IF ANYONE WANTS THE TSB HONDA IS HIDING EMAIL ME AND I’LL SEND THE PDF FILE. THIS IS THE TSB THE MECHANICS USE, IN COLOR WITH PART NUMBERS AND PICTURES OF THE AREAS THAT CRACK. SEEM’S HONDA IS BEGGING FOR THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT.
I JUST BOUGHT MY WIFE A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA AND IN MY OPINION ITS A BETTER CAR THAN MY CIVIC.
Update on my Civic. American Honda called back and they are now willing to cover 75% of the cost for a new engine. I’m reluctantly taking it. They also told me that they’ve only seen the cracked engine block in 2% of the Civics – too low a number for a recall. That percentage may go up as the older Civics reach higher miles, but by then everyone will be outside the warranty. Too bad Honda quality control is not keeping up with their sales. I’ll get my car fixed and just wait for awhile before purchasing any other Honda vehicles until I see what the recalls and TSBs hold. Too many issues with the Civics for me to be a repeat buyer. I did get a copy of the TSB (08-044) and forwarded that on to the dealer. If you haven’t looked at an extended warranty for your 2006, 2007 or 2008 Civic drive train – I would seriously consider it!
I just received an e-mail regarding the Honda Civic tire cupping problem. There is a brand new class action suit that you might want to check into if you have had this same problem. Log on to http://www.merchantlaw.com and click on class action suits. Scroll down a bit and you will see “new” Honda Class Action. Please give them your feedback.
I hope there is a class action lawsuit after reading this list of issues. The reason I bothered to read so many is that my Civic IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NOISE FROM THE REAR TIRES. The noise got progressively worse and after inspecting the front tires I decided to replace the front tires (after 31,000 miles). The noise hasn’t gone away and now I realize it is from the back tires. Unfortunately, I can’t afford to go round-n-round with Honda over it…I’ll hope for the best until I can do something about it.
We too bought a 2008 honda civic ( manufactory date 11 -07 ) and one of the back tires is cupped on the inner edge – tire wear down to the wear bars. the dealership said it was not included in the 06 07 recall. but bring it in for an inspection ( in two days ) Looks like they did not do the fix for the 08 production year. really sorry i believed all the past things said about honda – looks like they are living on a past reputation and not building on keeping that reputation up. For a car with 11,000 miles on it this is unacceptable -looks like a ford in my future.
I have experienced ongoing problems with premature and uneven tire wear since purchasing a new 2006 Honda Civic. I have been through numerous sets of tires and despite having the rear control arms replaced, the problem remains. I have initiated a class action lawsuit against Honda. For more information and/or to join this cause visit the following website: http://www.merchantlaw.com/honda.html
2006 Honda Civic LX with 53,000 was diagnosed with a cracked engine block. Also have had problems with the sunvisor breaking. Hope this repair is covered under the powertrain warranty.
My 2006 Honda Civic has been going through tires every 20,000 to 25,000 since it was new. I have taken it to the tire shop and bought new tires each time with a 4 wheel alignment always asking what the problem could be. I finally took it to the dealer and they had me put new tires on and do an alignment with them so that they could track the problem. Well 25,000 miles later my tires are again bald on the inside tred all the way to cords. This is with me rotating the tires twice. They finally found the bad control arms and said that it was out of warranty. I told them that it wasn’t when I came to them several times before or when I lost control of my car and hit a wall because of the problem. Honda is unwilling to do anything to help me. So thanks to Honda and the $370 that it cost me to replace the control arms and the $300 for the new tires, my children will get to go without Christmas. I’m ready to seek legal advice. Anyone know how to help me with this?
Well…add me to the list of cracked engine blocks. Happened yesterday – on my way home from my 3rd 12 hr night shift in a row. Noticed a little bit of steam/smoke when I stopped to go shopping and got back in the car drove 1/2 mile down the road and noticed the temp was all the way to the H. I stopped, let it cool down and took it 1/2 mile back to where we get it serviced. 8 hours later get a phone call…cracked block. I thought I was going to stroke out!
Its now at a Honda dealer being “checked out” and then they are going to call Honda. After looking at the tsb all I have to say is if I’m not a “goodwill case” I don’t know who is. Full time nursing student, just started working part time to try to make ends meet, 3 year old, oh my…the list goes on and on. Now after reading all this I’m terrified to get in the thing once it is fixed. Slamming into walls, flipping over…oh my…
Another cracked engine block on a 2006 Civic here (69K miles). The dealership is evaluating it now, but told me it is unlikely that Honda will pay more than 50%, if that. Does anyone know if there is a class action lawsuit regarding this problem? I have seen one about the tires, but nothing for the engine block problem.
2006 honda civic, Dec 23 cracked engine block. 70,000 miles on it and now we hear other problems occurred also during the overheating. This is an issue with HONDA CARE> WE’ve paid for towing over the holidays, car rentals and have to come up with the money by the 22nd of January. HONDA CARE GUY told us we had till the 22nd to come up with the money or the offer is rescinded. Yet he is not aware of the problem…..come on now. let’s have these phone messages recorded.
Just an FYI for all those posting with cracked engine blocks on your 2006-2008 Honda Civics. PLEASE, PLEASE make sure that you get on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/ and file a complaint! If Honda is ever required to issue a recall – WE GET ALL OUR MONEY BACK!
Another cracked engine block on a 2006 Civic LX @ 132K miles. Yes it is high mileage but if there is a known documented problem it should not matter.
Please list on http://www.carcomplaints.com as well.
Some people do seem to get some help well over warranty. I was told by a Honda representative that they are probably long-term customers they want to retain!
