Next morning we brought it to dealership open road honda edison nj and said they…

Cracked engine car has less than 85,000 miles on it. Honda is a joke they want me to pay for another tow and then pay for a certified honda mechanic to look at it.

The vehicle unpredictably leaked coolant and the engine block is now cracked. The car is useless. Had to tow it 100 miles only to be told by honda that this is my problem. It is now out of the 10 year extended warranty even though it has less than 100,000 miles on the car. This is a know problem with this make and model which is why honda extended the warranty. It should have been an outright recall - they will not…

At 110,000 miles, my car developed a cracked engine block. I was parked and noticed coolant leaking from my car. My car was towed by aaa to keyes honda and diagnosed. It was found that honda was aware of this major defect and did not inform consumers. Instead, they quietly extended the warranty by one year instead of issuing a recall. After much research, it was found that this is a known issue. The repair cost is…

Cracked and leaking engine block with only 72k miles on vehicle. We had the family in the vehicle when it started to smoking heavily, without warning, causing extreme visibility problems as well as a horrible smell. This also caused other vehicles around us to react. We were in heavy traffic at the time. Took it to our local dealership the very next morning, and by late afternoon, were told it has a cracked and…

Vehicle would not start. Car engine cracked which is a safety issue and known issue to honda for this model and year of the civic. I had my three kids, including an infant in the car. Took it to honda where they explained that there was an extended warranty that we had just missed. My car is in impeccable shape with low mileage (80,000). Honda refused to cover the engine crack in full (expecting us to play 3,000),…

I noticed coolant on the garage floor. The coolant level seemed low. I topped it up. Next day the car engine oil indicator became high and there was some smoke. I took it to the local honda dealership and they pressure tested the system. They found a crack in the engine block. This is a known problem in the 2006-2009 honda civics. Honda has apparently an extended warranty on this engine by 10 years from date of…

I had no idea what was wrong so i drove the car…

I am doing this regarding the cracked engine block issue. I have emailed honda and they will not cover it. How can a manufacturer know they have sold a defective product and not be liable? I am a low income individual and cannot afford to fix my car, it is very upsetting.

I pulled over to check my fluids (as i just changed my oil and topped off my fluids on 2/14/18) and noticed i was very low on coolant. My…
