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

WHEN IT IS NEAR FREEZING OR BELOW OUTSIDE, MY WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES BEHAVE ERRATICALLY. THE INTERMITTENT SETTING STOPS WORKING AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS KEEP GOING. THE SLOW SPEED AND HIGH SPEED WORK. HOWEVER, WHEN I TURN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS OFF, THEY TAKE AWHILE TO STOP AND STOP IN RANDOM LOCATIONS ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON 4/17/2014 AND I RECORDED A VIDEO WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES CAN STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND OBSTRUCT MY VISION. WE ASKED THE DEALER TO FIX IT AND THEY WANT TO GET PAID TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR

HEAVY, LOOSE OBJECTS IN TRUNK STRUCK & BROKE OFF TRUNK LATCH ASSEMBLY, PREVENTING REAR HATCH FROM BEING OPENED IN ANY WAY, INCLUDING REMOTE. (NO EXTERNAL TRUNK KEYHOLE EXISTS.) SINCE REAR SEAT FOLD-DOWN RELEASES ARE LOCATED IN THE TRUNK, ONE OF THE REAR SEATS NEED TO BE UNBOLTED TO BE ABLE TO PULL THE SEAT RELEASE, REMOVE THE SEAT, AND MANUALLY UNLATCH THE TRUNK. THE DESIGN OF THE REAR LATCH IS NOT PROTECTED AGAINST STRIKES FROM HEAVY OBJECTS AND IS THEREFORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DAMAGE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IF THE LATCH WERE TO BREAK, THE VEHICLE GET A FLAT TIRE, AND THE DRIVER UNABLE TO REMOVE THE REAR SEAT FOR LACK OF TOOLS OR KNOW-HOW, THE DRIVER WOULD BE UNABLE TO ACCESS THE SPARE TIRE AND BE STRANDED. *TR
