HELLO! A VERY WELL-KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 06-09 HONDA CIVIC IS A TENDENCY FOR THE ENGINE BLOCKS TO CRACK. FREQUENTING ONLINE FORUMS AND WEBSITES, IT SEEMS A WIDE RANGE OF PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED FROM LESS THAN 1,000 MILES TO UP TO 200,000 MILES. THAT BEING SAID, IT SEEMS THIS CAR IS A LITERAL TIME BOMB. THERE HAVE BEEN INCIDENTS OF PEOPLE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ONLY TO RAPIDLY LOSE POWER TO ALL SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS A PROFOUND SAFETY HAZARD, NOT ONLY TO THE DRIVER, BUT OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL! THAT BEING SAID, HONDA ADMITTED THAT THE TENDENCY FOR BLOCKS TO CRACK WAS DUE A FAULTY CASTING PROCESS. THEY HAD ISSUES AN INITIAL 8 YEAR WARRANTY AND INCREASED THAT TO 10 YEARS. AS OF LATE, MANY CURRENT OWNERS HAVE STILL HAD THEIR BLOCKS CRACKED. ONLY THIS TIME, HONDA IS REFUSING TO FIX THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT. AS SUCH, I WANTED TO BRING ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE AND HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO ALLEVIATE THIS MATTER. A CAR'S BLOCK UNDER NORMAL MAINTENANCE AND USE SHOULD NEVER CATASTROPHICALLY FAIL, LET ALONE RISK PEOPLE'S LIVES! EVEN IF A RECALL ISN'T ENFORCED, AT LEAST HOLD HONDA ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR FAULTY ENGINES AND PLACE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TAKATA RECALL *TR

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS COME APART AT THE HARD-PLASTIC SEAMS AND FAIL TO RETRACT BACK INTO THE HEADLINER ONCE THEY ARE ENGAGED, LEAVING THEM BLOCKING DRIVER'S VIEW AT ALL TIMES. THEY CANNOT BE ADJUSTED TO ANY GRADUAL POSITIONING. THEY SIMPLY HANG STRAIGHT DOWN. HONDA ADMITTED THE PROBLEM AND HAS SAID THEY ONLY WARRANTED REPLACEMENT FOR 7 YEARS. WHEN CAR WAS IN WARRANTY, DEALER PROMISED HONDA WOULD REPLACE AS LONG AS THE CAR HAD THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THIS IS A SIMPLE ENGINEERING FIX THAT HONDA WILL NOT ADDRESS. IT IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE AS I CANNOT GET REPLACEMENTS (VISORS LAST, ON AVERAGE 15-18 MONTHS AND MUST BE REPLACED CONSTANTLY) AND THE VISORS NOW HANG, OBSTRUCTING MY OUTWARD VIEW TO THE SIDE AND THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD.
