Cracked engine block, leaking engine coolant and overheating
My engine block is cracked. i know that several year models of the honda civic have been recalled due to this defect; the 2007 yr model as is mine included. my vin # was not included in this recall but it has the same defect as the others that were recalled. i would like for mine to be replaced. the pictures included show where the water/antifreeze mixture has leaked out and dried on. the vehicle has not been driven in several months because of this. i bought this car in approximately late 2015.
Engine block suddenly developed cracking, loses coolant and overheats. honda admits to faulty engine block by extending warranty to 10 years. however honda will not allow proactive use of warranty. problem must surface first to be covered. most problems surface after 10 years, which relieves honda of most of the claims liability. my problem developed 7 months out of extended warranty at 76,000 miles. engine blocks should last until car is crushed. safety issue: sudden onset of overheating and breakdown. engine is a defective product. honda should be compelled to recall engines and replace to fix the known defect.
Our 2007 honda civic is apparently part of the service posting honda sent to its service departments in 2010, but not to its customers, regarding a casting issue with the engine blocks in 2006 through early 2009 civics. with the engine casting issue a perfectly maintained vehicle is still bound to overheat at some point in time because a bad engine block will eventually leak coolant. the unknown customer extended warranty was good for something like 8 years, or maybe 10, i don't know. in the last year i've had 3 coil packs go bad in this civic engine, the water pump replaced and then replaced a second time because the engine kept overheating probably because of the leaking engine block. my daughter was left stranded 3 times on the road because of this engine block casting issue with a foreseen future failure that was hidden from the customer. the last time the car quit she was left stranded on the interstate in a dangerous situation. everything i have read on the internet points to honda only honoring what they want to honor on this know manufacturing problem, and this is only after customers have been overheated, and sometimes left stranded on the road in many cases because the coil packs go bad and do not allow the car to restart and run safely. honda has not been forthright concerning the casting malfunction of the 2006 through early 2009 engine block. they are not actively looking for this leak, and if an engine sneaks past the extended warranty date then all cost is on you. a safety recall needs to be put out on these engines, and honda needs to be forced to do the right thing since to date it looks like they have not been a good corporate citizen. that is a shame, and they should be held accountable since a failed engine block is a $4,500 - $6,000 replacement cost at the dealer, and these engines were always bound to fail as some point in time.
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.
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 pay 50% of the cost to replace the engine block, which meant that i was responsible to pay $2,658.75 to make up the difference. i feel that honda should have covered the engine block replacement 100% free of charge due to the fact that the issue was due to a manufactures defect. also, the car is in excellent condition, has low miles, and has been maintained at the dealership that it was purchased at. as a customer, who purchased the vehicle new, i feel that i should not have to invest money on replacing the motor due to a defect. the customer should only be responsible for routine maintenance . i have attached my repair bill which lists the issue/fix and the amount i was charged as proof. thank you and i hope this helps others!
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 as myself. the engine blocks area completely weak and needs to be fixed. this issue usually occurs around 80,000-110,000 miles. this warranty needs to be extended especially for people who bought the car used as myself, i received a notice for the airbags and did not receive a notice about the motors, so i believe it is not fair and that honda really is stealing money from people.
On january 2nd, 2018 , was driving on a city street to a local aaa approved auto repair care center when the engine of my honda civic became overheated causing fumes/smoke. this could have caused a fire and would thus be a safety hazard. the purpose of taking it to the repair shop was initially just to get a vehicle inspection test/report done for vehicle registration. due to the engine overheating, further tests were done, and replacing the water pump and performing vps coolant system flush was recommended. i had my vehicle towed to my regular mechanic who inspected it thoroughly and discovered a crack in the engine block. online i stumbled across several web sites indicating problems associated with engine blocks with some honda civics. i called america honda who said i needed to take my vehicle to a honda garage to confirm the crack in the engine block. this i did and it was reinspected and confirmed by the honda mechanics that there was indeed a crack in the engine block. my vehicle has been sitting at the honda garage for over three months now while america honda decided how much they can help with replacing the engine. they will replace my engine after my deductible of $2500. i have reluctantly accepted this as it's been a long wait and i need my car back on the road. i understand from american honda that their extended warranty for cracked engine block was 10 years from first purchase and only the first owner would have received information on this warranty. however, i believe that a crack in the engine block that leads to an overheated engine potentially causing a fire hazard should be covered under a recall. american honda needs to be held accountable for this defective engine. they gave me a faulty engine that could cause a fire due to overheating and should replace it entirely at their cost. i am thus making a complaint against american 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 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 of the road and noticed a severe coolant leak coming from the engine block. when i got the car home i did some research and noticed a honda service bulletin (above) and saw we were not the only ones having this issue. we called american honda and they started a case for us and recommended that we take it to our local honda to be inspected further. we made a appointment for the inspection and after honda inspected it they diagnosed it with a cracked engine block. this is do to their faulty defected product. honda should stand behind their product and fix the issue. this car was meticulously maintained by my local honda and has been in the family. we were never notified of this bulletin or else we would had brought our civic in sooner before there supposed extra 10 year warranty expired. it shouldn't matter how many years honda knows this is a ongoing issue and it will continue to happen if it doesn't get taken care of the right way. this could potentially be a dangerous situation and i believe honda needs to step up.
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.
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.
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 causing loss of antifreeze, which in turn causes engine to over heat
Honda tsb# 10-048, my sons honda civic over heated due to a known crack issue in the engine block. this car was purchased as a used car from a honda dealer. he was driving his car when it just started to shut down and he had to pull over. the engine overheated without warning while he was driving and got so hot that it melted the oil dip stick (see image), lucky it did not go on fire, the ignition coil was also melted to the engine block. i know that honda extended their warranty on this, and my car is 2 months pass that date with only 57k mles on it. why should i have to pay for a know issue that can show up at given time. whether it is 5,10 or 20 years it is a know defect and honda as company should be standing behind their product. i never received any notification of this issue in writing from honda at anytime to watch for this potential problem. i understand it would be a financial burden to do a complete recall but i believe that is what needs to be done. this is a dangerous situation for people who are not aware of this potential danger.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. while the vehicle was operated at low speeds, it experienced a loss of power and black smoke appeared from the engine compartment. the vehicle was pushed to the side of the road. the contact did not see flames; however, a coolant leak was observed. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine block was defective and needed to be replaced. checkered flag honda (6541 e virginia beach blvd, norfolk, va) stated that the failure was included in the extended coverage for the engine block. the manufacturer stated that the unknown nhtsa campaign number for the failure had expired. the failure mileage was approximately 166,000.
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 full recall should have been implemented if they knew there was a faulty engine block.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. while driving at unknown speeds, the contact heard an abnormal clicking sound when the brake pedal was depressed. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that transmission fluid was leaking and the engine block was cracked. the local dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was notified of the issue and stated that the warranty had been extended; however, the contact missed the deadline. the contact was advised to replace the engine or purchase a new vehicle. the failure mileage was 163,000.
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 2009 civics had the engine crack issue and tsb 10-048 was issued and the warranty of such engines were extended to 10 years and that would cover the replacement of the engine if such issues are found. i checked with my service consultant at dean honda if this would be covered under the extended warranty. he did a vin inquiry and said the warrant has expired 10 days ago and this won't be covered. (the original purchase date of the car was 22-aug-2007 and this incident happened to me on 31-aug-2017). this is a big blow to me. this is my first car in the us. i bought this car as the second owner in july 2015 with only 36000 miles on it and i have hardly driven 15000 miles over the past two years without any issues. the previous owner also never had any issues with it and that's why i purchased it with confidence. considering customer's safety, these engines needs to be recalled by honda and replaced with new ones or at least the warranty of these engines needs to be extended further (for at least for 5 more years). i was lucky enough to survive a fatal accident.
We have a 2007 honda civic with 62200 miles and noticed it started running hot and rough idle. took it in to a repair shop we have used for years( that also does manufactures authorized maintenance) for the problem, and it was diagnosed with a cracked engine block. 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 engine block cracked and began leaking coolant. i was driving and smelled something burning, and my car was smoking from underneath the hood. it is 6 months passed the 10 warranty. i am not alone in this issue, as numerous people have recommended me to this site. it is very upsetting to me.
Engine block cracked due to manufacturing defect, overheated at 60 mph on interstate 270.
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 warranty period by 4 months and they will not cover the repair or replacement of the engine block. i feel the nhtsa need to force honda to issue a recall on all honda civics between the years of 2006 to 2009 with cracked engine blocks. i have read it was due to poor casting that caused these engine blocks to crack. honda will continue to receive calls and complaints in regards to this issue because they have sold millions of these vehicles to unbeknownst americans.
Cracked block 6 months after warranty period ended and they wont help me at all,
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.
2007 civic ex, 124,000 miles, while driving on major interstate engine leaked coolant & overheated. pulled off interstate & towed home. problem diagnosis: cracked engine block. honda acknowledged this is an engine design defect and issued technical service bulletin 10-048 extending engine warranty to 10 yrs (120 mos), unlimited mileage, free engine replacement. my engine cracked at 10 yrs, 3 mos. called honda customer service (ca) 800-999-1009. honda agent said car was out of warranty, honda can't help me. spoke to honda agent's regional manager; same story, unwilling to help. if engine cracked 3 mos earlier, free replacement. i offered to share repair cost, honda customer service manager said no, and she would not let me speak to her superior. she told me to take legal action if i felt honda owed me something. new engine is a $4000-$5000 fix, more than value of car. i'm stuck with worthless civic with cracked engine and only 124k miles. will never buy honda again after this experience. buyer beware of used 2006-2009 honda civics.

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. honda will not help out in any way since i am out of the warranty period even though it's a known fault.
A couple days after purchasing a 2007 honda civic with 150,000 miles, it suddenly overheated while i was driving it and began smoking as i attempted to pull off the road. upon examining the car, there was no coolant in the reservoir (despite adding coolant, the coolant levels consistently drop but there is no external leak). fortunately, i was able to pull off the road in time. honda recognized that the engine blocks for 2007 honda civics were defective (honda service bulletin 10-048) but no longer covers repairs for the safety risk that their defective engine blocks pose to drivers of these vehicles and others on the road when their cars overheat.

Engine block cracks that create an unsafe condition and premature degradation of the motor and its internal components. the leaks of coolant seem to occur while the motor is running.
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.
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?
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. next day my mechanic friend came over troubleshooting the spark plugs, fuel pump and did engine compression test none. my heart sank. then he said this car has a manufacturer defect i asked him how much a repair would be or new engine he said about 1800. i went online and founds 100s maybe 1000s of reports on this secret extended warranty on cracked engine block on models 2006 to 2009 honda civic. most reports were that honda couldn't do anything if your vehicle was deemed salvage. i believe this should have been a recall. the previous owner my mother or, myself could've been in bad accident on the highway. this car has been in zero accidents that would impact the engine aside from tiny fender benders in the shopping market. i believe all honda owners should complain about the safety issues with bad engine block. this should have been a recall. a lawsuit would have folowed if i ended up in hospital due to their poor quality dangerous defect with engine block. this isn't over. something must be done.
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.
My honda civic has completely overheated three times to the point of needing to replace the head gasket, water pump, radiator and coils. once was in 2014, again in 2018 and now in 2020. it is now discovered the cause of all these over heating problems over the years was due to a cracked engine block which there was a 10 year extended warranty for this issue. i took my civic into brandon honda in florida on march 5th, 2016 and nothing was said or done relating to the issue of the cracked engine block which honda had been fully aware of since at least 2014 where it was stated on consumer reports. the vehicle was in motion twice, once on a highway and it was due to the engine over heating every time; both situations put myself and vehicle in danger. i maintained my radiator as well as water pump and have had them replaced each time so clearly the underlying problem was the crack in the engine block.
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.
