i bought a 2007 honda civic lx on august 3rd, 2007. it has about 68,000+ miles on it. i came down to my moms house on 9/30 and my car started steaming so i pulled over and popped the hood because the temperature gauge was climbing. there was blue fluid coming out from under the car. we put a gallon of anti-freeze in it, i drove it a mile and had to get AAA to tow it to my moms house. we have a friend looking to see what exactly is wrong with it but i’m going to have it sent to honda. after having the car for around 3 months, it started making a whining noise so i took it to the dealership to have it checked and they said that when they made my car, they “forgot” to put the power-steering wrack on my car. they put it on there and charged my warranty around $900. if this was back in the old days and my car was a horse, i’d take it out back and should it and put it out of MY misery! everyone pray that it goes ok!

Wow! I found out today that I have a CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK on my 2007 Honda Civic EX. First my air conditioning went in and out for a day or two and then the car overheated during a short drive at 30 mph. I have been the sole owner of my car and have faithfully maintained my car, so to say the least, I’m in complete shock! I took the car to my local, trusted mechanic and he replaced the water pump first. It wasn’t until after I racked up $360 for a new water pump that they realized it was the engine block that was cracked too. So we had it towed to the dealer and 4 hours later, I’m still waiting for the Service Manager to call me back. I get it that this is a problem for Honda, but it would be really nice is someone, just one person, actually used a little bit of customer service skills on me. How about, I’m so sorry you are having this trouble. Not one person has apologized and I have been on the phone all day with American Honda and the dealership. The other part is that they are saying they won’t reimburse me for the water pump or a rental car. They were pretty adamant I was not eligible for a loaner. So I’m up to almost $600 now for a Honda defect and trying to figure out why this is my problem!! I have been documenting every conversation and plan to have my attorney send a letter if I don’t get reimbursed.

My other major concern is how good is this car after it is repaired? Should I dump it ASAP? This bites…I bought this car because I was going to drive it til it died, but I never expected that would be before I even had it paid off.

Same as everyone else…. no more Hondas for me! This was my third and my last! What is a good car to buy? I don’t trust anyone anymore!!

We kept having to buy tires, as no one told us about their shoddy product. Found out their product is defective, and THEIR fix is defective too. We tried to trade the car in, but guess people have heard about the cracked block problems, so there is much less value in our vehicle than should be. 2nd Honda I have owned, I hated them both. Their navigation system is awful, guess that is another product they said “we’ll just make our own”. I use my old old old Magellean instead of the Honda Civic in-dash navigation. It does not find streets that have been here for years. No more Hondas for me, ever.

Just found out yesterday from the Mission Valley Honda
dealership in San Diego CA that my 2006 Honda Civic EX with only
~50k miles has yep, a cracked engine block! To say the very least
I’m upset beyond belief and will probably never buy another Honda.
This is just unacceptable in this day and age and with a Company
with the supposed quality that has become synonymous with Honda
over the years. I mean, just how does bad engine casting go
unchecked for such a massive amount of cars? Rediculous. Another
case of consumer gets bent over. Who knows how my civic will
perform after the new engine is put in. I’m just praying all goes
well cause my wife drives this car with our 4 month year old
precious baby girl.

I had a problem with Honda Canada. I went to them with a cracked engine block just 11000 km over the warranty. They told me to pound salt, so I made a huge stink. They offerred to pay for the parts but not the labour, I was still out 1800 bucks. Then I received a letter in October stating they would pay for all the repairs…still waiting for my cheque.Little do they know, I have now switched allegiances and will never buy another Honda product again, this was my 4th Civic, too! When will big business learn that the customer is right? It would have been a drop in the bucket for them to admit the problem to me, but now I’m just annoyed. Can’t wait for my cheque…

DON’T BUY HONDA!.

I feel that Honda should do a proper recall and replace the defective engine block. I use the honda to go on trips. I do not want to be away somewhere and have my Honda Civic Overheat on me or my wife and have us stranded somewhere. I’ve lost respect in the Honda. Not only am I driving a time bomb but who would take this car in trade. This is a double whammy. I paid in good faith for this car.Honda should replace defective workmanship in good faith. When I called honda the individual was rude and indicated that honda had done enough by extending the warranty. Can our Congress representatives help us in this Matter?Once again its the little person against big bussiness.
