WHILE MY FAMILY WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WEST TO CALIFORNIA, AT 65MPH, THE ENGINE POWER WAS COMPLETELY LOST. UPON PULLING OVER I OPENED THE HOOD AFTER ABOUT 3-5 MINUTES TO FIND COOLANT FLUID ALL OVER THE ENGINE. I ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE BUT IT ONLY TURNED OVER WITHOUT STARTING. WE TOWED IT TO SERVICE CENTER AT COLFAX, CA TO FIND OUT THE NEXT DAY THAT THE ENGINE HAS SEVERE INTERNAL DAMAGE FROM LEAKING COOLANT FLUID. THE SOURCE WAS NOT LOCATED YET WITH NO SIGNS OF RADIATOR DAMAGE. THE CAR HAS BEEN TOWED 90 MILES TO RENO, NV HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. AFTER RESEARCHING POSSIBLE CAUSES, I DISCOVERED A SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB 10-048) THAT ADDRESSES AN ENGINE CRACK LEAKING COOLANT AND CAUSING ENGINE OVERHEATING. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT MY HONDA IS NOT COVERED ACCORDING TO VIN INQUIRY AND AWAITING AN APPOINTMENT TO LOOK INTO CAUSE. THE ENGINE DASHBOARD GAUGES NEVER INDICATED ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY TO WARN OCCUPANTS OF PENDING CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. *TR

KNOW PROBLEM WITH 2006 HONDA CIVICS THAT HONDA FAILED TO RECALL-- CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK CAUSED 2006 CIVIC EX COUPE TO OVERHEAT AND BREAK DOWN IN RALEIGH NC. WAS STRANDED FOR 4 HOURS IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PART OF TOWN AND HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED. HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE BLOCK RATHER THAN RECALL IT. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE HONDA DEALER AND SAYS THAT THE HEAD IS WARPED DUE TO THE OVERHEATING. I CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA BUT THEY STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS EXPENSIVE COLLATERAL DAMAGE OF THE WARPED HEAD BECAUSE THEY ONLY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE BLOCK EVEN THOUGH THE FAULTY BLOCK CAUSED THE HEAD DAMAGE. HONDA REPRESENTATIVE ON THE PHONE IMPLIED THAT I HAD BEEN NEGLIGENT IN SOME WAY, PERHAPS BY IGNORING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAUSING THE DAMAGE. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2006 AND NEVER HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT UNTIL THE MOMENT THE CAR BROKE DOWN. HONDA IS ACTING IRRESPONSIBLY WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

I ON A 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX. YESTERDAY I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AND AS I DID SO THE CAR STOPPED AND THEN THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RACE AND ROAR. I APPLIED THE BRAKES HARDER AS THE CAR BEGAN TO TRY TO JUMP FORWARD INTO THE INTERSECTION THE ENGINE RACED EVEN MORE AND THE BRAKES WERE NOT HOLDING THE CAR BACK SO I QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I WAITED ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND THEN STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND KEPT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE CARE ENGINE WAS NORMAL THIS TIME AND THE ENGINE DID NOT RACE SO I DROVE HOME. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK MY CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, BUT WHEN THEY DID A VISUAL CHECK OF THE GAS PEDAL, THEY FOUND THAT THE GAS PEDAL HAD COME LOOSE FROM THE FLOOR MOUNTING. THEY TIGHTEN THIS PART AND CHARGED ME FOR LABOR AND THE TIME ON THE COMPUTER (WHICH CAME TO $104.). THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART FOR SOME OF THE 2006 HONDA CIVICS, BUT THAT MINE WAS NOT THE RIGHT VIN NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL. WHEN I LOOK ON YOU WEBSITE IT TYPE IN MY VIN NUMBER AND MAKE AND MODEL, IT SAYS IT IS ON RECALL AND THAT THEY HAVE A MODIFICATION KIT FOR THE GAS PEDAL THAT THEY SEND TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE CAR FOR FREE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE ORDER THE REPAIR KIT FOR MY GAS PEDAL AND TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD SERVICE MY CAR FOR FREE. MY LIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE'S COULD HAVE BEEN AT RISK WITH THIS INCIDENT AND POSSIBLY WITHOUT THIS MODIFICATION KIT, IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO GET MY CAR INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AND FREE INSTALLATION OF THE MODIFICATION KIT AS IT SHOULD NOT BE EXCLUDED SINCE I OBVIOUSLY SUFFER THE SAME RISK AS THOSE OTHER 2006 HONDA CIVICS WITH THE APPROVED VIN NUMBERS. I WOULD ALSO LIKE A REFUND ON THE $104. *TR
