2007 Honda Civic

I financed a 2007 Honda Civic on July 30 2025, this car has a faulty fuel pump from Roseville car group. There is no check engine light on, this just appeared this afternoon Aug 2nd 2025.

About a month ago, I brought my vehicle to a Honda-specialized shop, which has been servicing Hondas exclusively for over 30 years, due to a power steering issue. During the inspection, they informed me that my car is covered under a service bulletin (1048 or 10 048) related to a potential defect in the engine block. The shop mentioned that vehicles with a VIN starting with “1HG” may be eligible for an extended warranty or recall for this issue. I was completely unaware of this situation, as my car has never overheated, and I had no prior indication of any engine-related problems. Following this information, I took the car to a Honda dealership for a diagnostic assessment. The dealership recommended an engine replacement, which would be a costly repair. This recommendation seems perplexing, given that I have consistently taken proper care of the vehicle over the years, and there have been no significant overheating or other apparent engine issues. It appears that there may be a larger issue at play, possibly related to a manufacturing defect, which could be part of a class-action settlement. Based on what I’ve learned, the engine block defect could be due to faulty manufacturing, explaining why the engine block is cracking without any major overheating. I’m concerned that this issue may require significant repairs, but I’m uncertain how to proceed, especially considering the financial burden, as Christmas is approaching and I am not in a position to cover such a large expense. I would greatly appreciate any guidance on how to move forward with this situation, as I am currently unsure of the next steps.

Coolant leaking out looked at engine block it is leaking from there started to overheating

Engine block cracked causing coolant leak as confirmed by an ase mechanic. A replacement engine is needed at a cost of $5k-6k. I’m [XXX] old and can’t afford the cost. honda customer service was called and they said it was my responsibility to fix their manufacturing engine defect. honda should be forced to replace these engines. It’s their fault for the defect and need to step up and fix THEIR problems. Instead of forcing [XXX] old and in poor health seniors to fix it.

At just over 130K miles, we have a cracked engine block.

Cracked engine block to the front, lower passenger sideof the engine block behind of the catalytic converter. Issue unknowingly began when commuting on the freeway until car was left parked for an hour. Coolant had puddled under the car in that time and upon inspection noted dried blue coolant sprayed all across the under side of the car originating from the cracked area indicating I was still driving when the leak started without any warnings. Given how much coolant leaked over that hour, this could cause rapid engine overheat while driving if the leak remains unknown. After some research, Honda knew about this manufacturing defect for a number of years and issued an extended warranty but those have all since expired, while engines are continuing to crack and fail.

Engine Block Cracked. Coolant all leaked out of water jacket. (concurrent with TSB 10-048) Yes it is available for inspection. Car Over Heated, while traveling at speed. Manufacturer is denying inspection. No warning lamps, or lights.

Transmission issue Started from no where, I keep my car maintained all the time, making sure of oil, other maintenance. Even exterior cleaning. After checking with many places and online they mentioned it’s the 3rd clutch for the transmission. I have the same issue after driving 600 miles. Still trying to find out why this happened.

Transmission issue reported and the mechanic was surprised bc the car was running very well and I maintain it all the times. Engine light was on as well as the D was blinking Green at the time. Very Safety concerns when the car does have this issues, the car can’t shift to next speed this could lead to a crash anywhere. Of course people start to get upset due to the car doesn’t run as expected on the road. Mechanic changed the 3rd clutch for the transmission but after one week I h am having the same issue again. Transmission issues are very expensive and needs a very experienced mechanic to take care of it. The issue was confirmed by mechanic and certified mechanic place. I had to tow my car and costed my a lot of money. I will attach the communication with the insurance company.

cracked engine block

The engine block is cracked and is available for inspection upon request. My safety is put at risk when my car overheats regularly. The problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance representative. There were not indications that the problem would occur, until it overheated the first time in December 2021.

UNKNOWN. This has been an ongoing problem for years. I finally retired and had enough time to trace it down Water was getting on the floor of my car on passenger side after substantial rainfall. Extended shoulder harness webbing as far as it would go and found webbing soaking wet from water on last 2 feet of webbing that could be exposed and assume webbing still wet hidden within sidewall panel. (Nobody used the shoulder harness on passenger side of car) Taped off sunroof and doors on that side and found when using a water hose, water was getting into the passenger shoulder harness area and also dripping out of shoulder harness sidewall height adjuster. Removed the roof moulding trim strip on right side of roof, inspected, found no body seam sealant had been applied at the factory in the area where roof and side panel of car was spot welded when manufactured. Welds are still ok but an exposed gap was missing body seam-sealant along the area starting about 18 inches aft of windshield. I purchased seam sealant at body shop and applied seam sealant myself. Rechecked for leakage after sealant cure. Was ok. Re-installed roof moulding trim strip. Not sure if any water damage has occurred to shoulder harness mechanism. No apparent binding of mechanism at this time.

2007 Honda Civic with cracked engine block. Problem is well documented yet concealed. Honda knows the car was possibly defective but issued no recall

Honda put out a warranty extension of ten years for certain Civic models for a known casting issue that led to a cracked engine block. Rather than issuing a recall, they settled some law suits and did a warranty extension. I recently purchased a 2007 Civic from a relative who was unaware of the warranty extension. The car is five years passed the warranty expiration and Honda will do nothing to assist with this very well known issue! I find it completely unfair and unprofessional of Honda to offer no assistance for an issue they admitted full fault to! I now have a cracked engine block and no help from the once reliable auto dealer. I would be more understanding if this wasn't an issue that causes catastrophic failure, but this is unacceptable. I firmly believe that Honda should issue a recall for the known issues and resolve them in a responsible manner.

Engine block failure leaking coolant in cylinders 3 and 4. According to Honda Civic forums, this is a common problem with the 2006-2009 Honda civics.

CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK

Both sun visors (driver and passenger) fail to stay in their position, resulting in them rotating down, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD; OBSTRUCTING VISIBILITY THRU FRONT WINDSHIELD. Additionally because the visors don't stay in their position, they hang down creating AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD to any unsuspecting occupant getting into or out of the vehicle because you STRIKE YOUR HEAD ON THE MISPOSITIONED VISORS. The driver side visor on our vehicle has been replaced twice (10-21-2010, mileage 21188 and 7-3-2012, mileage 27839 under TSB). It is well over due needing to be replaced a third time. It appears only after a class action lawsuit Cooper v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc., did Honda issue TSB 11-031 to replace driver side (ds) visors. THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONSEQUENCE, OBSTRUCTED VISIBILITY AND IMMEDIATE STRIKING HAZARDS HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR. I have contacted, 8-1-2022, Honda's Customer Service and reported this reoccurring issue to them and they said they have no obligation to address the visor issue due to the age and mileage limitations established in THEIR service bulletin. Our vehicle has only 97591 miles on it. Well below the mileage limit. What gives them the right to establish the duration of liability for their defective product? SAFETY SHOULD BE THEIR NUMBER ONE CONCERN. Please give me some guidance as to how to proceed to address this immediate safety issue with my vehicle. This inherent problem revealed itself 4 years after purchase. Honda has NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. Please send me a response you received this submission. Thank you. PS How do I attach a video of visors rotating unassisted?

Block engine started leaking coolant all of a sudden car never overheated.This happen while I was driving in freeway all I saw was smoke coming from under my hood.i had quite a few a cars in my life and I never seen a block engine just leaking coolant from 2 places in the front and if I’m not mistaken 2 more in the back of block Car is available for check up no one but me has checked this out

I have a 2007 Honda Civic with 129K miles. 5/27/2022: First, we had a leak on drivers side and had to replace the steering rack, tie rod ends, hoses which cost $3K. Exactly a month later, my car started leaking from the passenger side. They stated the engine block is cracked and need a new engine. There was a recall but since it is past the 10 year mark, they will not fix it. It wasn't even a true recall bc we got absolutely NO communication about this! I am not spending another $4K to get a new engine. This is completely ridiculous and irresponsible of Honda!!!
