They told me that the whole engine has to be replaced (used one) and few other parts as well (like spark plug etc. 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 and made it to malfunction. I had the car towed to my mechanic where they performed the diagnosis to find the root cause of the problem. 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. No warning lights came on the dashboard till the last moment. On March, 15 2018 while I was driving on the highway, the car stopped running and smoke came out of the hood suddenly. I thought Honda were supposed to be reliable!. I'm sure there is a class action lawsuit about the engine block cracking in Honda Civic 2008. Since and, honestly, if I had been aware of this issue I would have looked at other vehicles. And I waited 15 minutes and another guy came and explained that the extended warranty on my car expired 4 weeks ago and I'm only allowed to have an engine replaced but I still have to pay for the labor 13 hours labor. I took it to the Honda dealer on northern blvd, NY and they said the block engine is cracked and I asked about the 10 years extended warranty and the nasty sales guy I was talking to was very aggressive and asked to change different agent.

It's no different than if a car suddenly lost all its' oil or its' brakes because all these events force you to immediately and unexpectedly stop driving, which is dangerous to you, your passengers, and to other drivers on the road. Because you cannot keep driving with no coolant in the vehicle, it is an extremely dangerous manufacturing defect that forces a driver to take evasive action to safely stop the car. However, it is not a slow leak, because the engine coolant system is under pressure, while you are driving, when the engine block cracks all the coolant is sudden expelled from the system forcing a motorist to immediately pull over. Please note that in its' technical service bulletins, Honda describes the manufacturing defect as "the engine (cylinder) block may leak coolant". Catastrophic manufacturing engine block failure, as set forth in Honda TSB 10-048 & 08-044, which resulted in the sudden and immediate expulsion of all coolant from the vehicle rendering the vehicle inoperable. ![]()
