The vehicle has developed a coolant leak due to a cracked engine block. This vehicle can no longer be driven and while it is in otherwise excellent condition, repairs are economically unfeasible. This is a 2007 honda civic ex with the r18 engine. It has a clean title and i am the first and only owner. There have been a significant number of similar failures in the 2007, 2008 and 2009 model year honda civics with…

I was driving to work on a busy highway when i noticed the temperature gauge rise quickly past it's normal range. I quickly got off the road and shut off the engine. I had the car towed to the shop and the mechanic found that there was no fluid in the radiator. He determined that there was a small crack. He informed me that this is an issue with 2007 civics. He told me i could put another motor in it or buy another…

As many of the other people, i have a leaking coolant crack in the engine block due to poor casting, thus resulting in the car to dangerously overheat. I have visited a local mechanic and they have confirmed it is a faulty problem among many civics manufactured that generation. The problem others and i encounter is the fact that the car exceeds the 10 year warranty. To make the dilema worse, the honda manufacturing…

When i bought the car it had a blown head gasket. It was fixd, but yesterday the car died on freeway and temp guage shot up. After looking at oil dipstick, it was completely gone. It melted. I had an oil change on the 14th. Could they have forgot to put new oil in? What would cause my car to just die?

Car began leaking antifreeze from the engine block. Honda admits that this is a common issue with this year as well as others but refuses to pay for repairs. I have appealed with american honda to no avail. They do not care because the car is outside of its warranty even though they will admit that the engine is a defect by honda. Car was parked at the time, has no damages, and has been properly maintained.

After inspection, my car was out of coolant…

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…

My 07 civic develop a long crack in the engine block. The honda rep says it my problem because the recall campaign is over. Which i don't think is fair. Honda knew of the defect and not all honda's develop this problem it's just us unlucky few that got the bad one's.

Driving to work on expressway when engine began bucking and losing power. Fortunately, i was able to safely get off road and get to a service center where they diagnosed a lateral crack in the block. The car has 84,100 miles on odometer and is in otherwise excellent condition. The replacement of the engine costs $7,600 and i have paid for it. Looking for guidance on some recovery from honda. Thank you.

Faulty a/c compressor locks up the drive belt causing the crankshaft pulley to stop rotating which results in the engine and all accessories (power steering, power brakes, etc.) to turn off randomly in the middle of driving. This happens after the engine is turned-on and has occurred consistently when the vehicle is driven for a few minutes and when it is at idle for a few minutes. No warnings or engine fault codes…
