2007 Honda Civic Complaint Log

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

In the manual it does not show how to use a pool noodle/towel to help with car seats install

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. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

cracked engine block

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.

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

CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK

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!!!

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving at 5MPH and parking in front of her residence, she noticed that smoke was coming out of the hood of the vehicle and the vehicle was overheating. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact turned off the vehicle. Upon opening the hood of the vehicle, the contact noticed that the smoke was originating from the engine compartment. There were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine block was cracked. The independent mechanic informed the contact that the failure was associated with Honda Technical Service Bulletin Number: 10-048. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic test. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine block had cracked. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer informed the contact that they could not provide any assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.

I purchased this Honda Civic In February 2022. I immediately had to have a O2 Sensor replaced. A few days later the car starting running hot and all the antifreeze leaked out. I replaced the antifreeze and had several mechanics look at it. Now the Honda dealer tells me the Engine block is cracked. I know Honda settled a class action lawsuit for this exact reason (engine block cracked) in Honda Civics 2006-2009. Now I can't use my car. I need your assistance in getting my car repaired by Honda due to the nature of the history of the Engine Crack recalls. Thank you

My engine block has cracked. I own an 07 Honda Civic. It overheated on the road and the only way to get it home was drive 15-20 mph even on highways. Honda knows there was a manufacturing defect from 06-2010 and all they did was extend the warranty from ten years of date of purchase. Meaning all of us who bought ours from another owner aren’t covered anymore. This keeps happening time and time again with countless Honda owners. It’s time something is done about this.

cracked engine resulted in vehicle heating

Engine Block cracked and leaked all coolant abruptly. Car has ~47k miles on it. Honda addressed this issue by extending the warranty discreetly to 10 years with unlimited mileage. This warranty extension was clearly designed to target owners who had more drive time than others. The bulletin posted here -> https://static.oemdtc.com/TSB/A10-048.pdf states it was posted in January of 2015. That means my well-cared-for 2007 Civic had only two years to encounter the issue, or else the replacement would not be honored. I purchased the car in 2019 used, and did not realize the engine was to be faulty. Not even 50k miles into the car's life the engine block failed, almost catastrophically. This leak could have lead to a fire hazard had I not been paying attention to the car's temperature. This is absolutely abysmal practice for a parts+labor fix that costs $5000+ due to a faulty designed engine. Honda doesn't even partially cover these costs despite knowing and acknowledging their issue in a poor fashion. To only provide repairs for people who encountered the issue when they knew it would keep coming up for owners after their warranties is completely unfair and should not be allowed, especially when lives are potentially at stake from the damage such a fault may cause.

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.

As I was driving down the road my car began to smoke and I noticed it was overheating at a stop light. I managed to be able to pull off of the road before the smoke got any worse. It may have had the potential to cause a fire. I was able to fill it with enough fluid to manage to take the car to my house so we could take a closer look at the issue. We found that there was coolant leaking out of the engine block and that there is a known service bulletin for the issue that has been released by Honda. It was apparently only applicable to cars that were less than 10 years old to cover under warranty. Given that my car only has 81,000 miles on it I would expect it would be covered under this warranty but they are telling me they will not cover any of the costs at all.

My Civic was diagnosed with a cracked engine block, an issue known by Honda to be problematic, as they issued an extended warranty on the engines that ended in 2018. However, the extension has expired despite the fact that many Honda owners continue to experience this problem (see https://www.8thcivic.com/threads/documenting-cracked-engine-block-for-those-out-of-the-warranty-coverage.609546/page-7). This issue should be considered more serious than just an extended warranty, as an engine leaking coolant could easily overheat and cause serious problems on a road trip, especially in the part of the country I live in (Montana), where summers are hot and dry and wildfires are easily ignited. The Carfax report for the vehicle I own--which I purchased used in September 2021--suggested that this would be the perfect vehicle to buy, with a regular maintenance history and lower-than-usual mileage. No indication at all of an extended warranty or potential issues that I should be aware of. Fortunately a friend discovered the issue when he noticed coolant leaking when he changed a tire for me rather than me discovering it while driving to Colorado or Michigan to visit family, when the engine may have indeed leaked enough coolant without me noticing to cause serious problems. I am attaching the report from the mechanic who diagnosed the issue, which I sent to Honda to open a case for assistance with a repair (which they declined, citing the expiration of the extended warranty).

The engine block cracked which resulted in the coolant leaking out of the vehicle. This is a safety issue to myself and others on the road as the engine could seize. The engine and coolant system were inspected and the problem has been confirmed by an independent mechanic. The first symptoms of an issue appeared on 09/12/2021 after I exited a highway and stopped at a traffic light. White smoke was coming from the hood and I could smell burning coolant. Honda is aware of a manufacturing defect of these engine blocks and issued an extended warranty for 10 years past original purchase date. This is a dangerous safety issue and Honda should be recalling all of these vehicles regardless of age.

cracked engine block due to manufacture defects

In January of 2020 my engine started to overheat, It was lack of coolant of course, so after that incident I have to check every few days and I have to add more coolant into the vehicle, I have had it checked by three different mechanics and they said there is no leaks, but I keep having to add coolant to the reservoir, and when I don't check after a week the radiator is empty. I have heard about cracked engine blocks in my model, yet Hondas website says my vehicle has no recalls. This website says I have NINE that have NOT been repaired. I have tried calling Honda and they told me I had to pay for any engine issues since I bought the vehicle outside of the warranty time limit. I really like the car it's a shame.

There is a crack in the block that has nothing to do with external damage or lack of maintenance. It is available for inspection upon request. The engine lost a significant amount of coolant and started to overheat on the highway. This could have resulted in engine seizure and a major accident. Our service person has confirmed that the block is cracked and that this has been identified by Honda as a known manufacturing defect. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone else. The Honda dealer is not interested. The only warning was that the temperature gauge shot up.

While driving my 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid at approximately 5 mph, entering a left hand turn from a complete stop, the passenger side driveshaft broke (i.e., the so-called "CV axle" on my front wheel drive vehicle), and a piece of the driveshaft approximately 8 inches long fell into the roadway with a loud audible clunk. We pulled off to the side of the road and were immediately able to retrieve the broken piece. I still have the broken piece in my possession, and I could mail it to an investigator if desired. Photos of the broken axle piece are also attached, together with a dealer repair invoice which lists the Honda part numbers for the replacement parts (due to an availability issue, the dealer used non-OEM parts to perform the repair, whose part numbers may or may not match the original OEM part numbers). It's clear from inspection that the broken driveshaft was initially covered by an anti-rust coating (portions of the coating are still visibly adhered), however most of this coating wore away and the underlying metal was substantially corroded by salt, which ultimately caused the part to fail. This vehicle has been registered in the state of Massachusetts (a so-called "salt-belt" state) for at least as long as I have owned it (since 2010) and possibly before that as well. The failure mode of the driveshaft (i.e., salt corrosion and breakage due to a failed anti-rust coating) precisely matches the failure mode described in an existing NHTSA Recall Notice: 20V-770, which covers this same part. This existing recall notice already applies to several other Honda vehicles in "salt-belt" states, however it does not yet extend to my specific model and year. Given the close similarities between the failure in my vehicle, and the existing recall notice, I would like to ask the NHTSA to further extend recall 20V-770 to incorporate my vehicle as well.

Cracked Engine Block at Just over 50,000 miles. Engine began to get overheated on Highway and lost power. Daughter coasted off highway into parking lot. Everyone in the area of car including driver was put a risk . Upon research, found out this was a known issue on this VIn and there was a warranty extension that expired in 2016. No notice was sent to me or my father in law (original owner) regarding this issue.Dealership did not inform me.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Civic. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V346000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted and made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The air bag light has been coming on and staying on more frequently yet there are no recalls for this vehicle.

Broken engine block

My 07 Honda Civic motor block leaking anteefreeze from a crack in my block Honda has a recall on it but doesn’t cover it

ENGINE IS OVERHEATING BECAUSE THERE IS A CRACK IN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE BLOCK CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING ON A CITY STREET.

1. SAFETY RECALL NOTICE INDICATIVE OF AIR BAG PROBLEM. TOOK TO DEALER. HE SAID THAT IT HAS BEEN FIXED AFTER AN HOUR OF STAY FOR PASSENGER INFLATOR-AND WHEN NOTICED WHILE DRIVING BACK, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME AGAIN. PRIOR TO THIS ALSO, THIS PROBLEM WAS NOTIFIED A FEW YEARS AGO, AND I GOT IT FIXED. DEALER ASKING MONEY FOR DOING DIAGNOSTICS AND THEN FIXING IT. 2. FRONT AND REAR BUMPER CLIPS FIXED SEVERAL TIMES-4 TIMES SPENDING MY OWN MONEY BUT ALWAYS A PROBLEM.

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?

ON OCTOBER 28, 2020, I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET TO WORK, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP AND SAW A BRIGHT FLASH. ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME COME THEN AFTER A SECOND EVERYTHING SHUT OFF. THE CAR STOPPED, BUT STILL ROLLING I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR, BUT I COULDN'T. THE LOCKS WOULD NOT MOVE, ON EITHER DOOR. NOT MANUALLY. I WAS TRAPPED INSIDE. THANK GOODNESS THE CAR DIDN'T START A FIRE, BECAUSE I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT. NOT BY OPENING THE DOORS MANUALLY. THE METAL POLE THAT HOLDS THE HOOD UP CAME LOOSE SOMEHOW AND HIT THE BATTERY, WHICH MADE A SHORT AND SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN. REGARDLESS, THE CAR SHOULD UNLOCK MANUALLY IF THE POWER LOCKS DON'T WORK. I COULDN'T UNLOCK FROM INSIDE BY PULLING THE HANDLE OR THE LOCKS WOULD NOT MOVE/OPEN.

HONDA HAS PRODUCED FAULTY ENGINE BLOCKS ON CIVIC MODELS FROM 2006-2009 THAT TEND TO CRACK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL ON A HIGHWAY AND LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. HONDA EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY FROM 7 TO 10 YEARS INSTEAD OF ISSUING A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THEY SOLD A FAULTY PRODUCT. ON TUESDAY, OCT 27TH 2020, DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE CAR TEMPERATURE GAUGE MAXED OUT AND SHAKING WAS FELT AS IF THE CAR WAS GOING TO STALL. LUCKILY, THIS OCCURRED COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND NEAR MY RESIDENCE AND NOT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE THE CAR COULD HAVE STALLED AND CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA SERVICE CENTER THE FOLLOWING DAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK HAD CRACKED. THE ENGINE CRACKING WAS THE REASON THE CARS WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS BUT THE EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY TO MY VEHICLE HAS EXPIRED. HONDA HAS QUOTED ME $6,395.40 TO REPLACE A KNOWN FAULTY ENGINE BLOCK. I BELIEVE A FAULTY ENGINE BLOCK CREATES AN UNSAFE CONDITION TO ALL DRIVERS AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY HONDA BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

I HAD DEER HIT ON I-80 WEST AT MILE STONE 294.2. IN PENNSYLVANIA. MY SPEED WAS 55 MPH I HIT BRAKES BUT DESPITE THAT CAR HIT DEER AND COMPLETELY DAMAGED. DESPITE SUCH A ACCIDENT NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG WAS INFLATED. IN 2015 I GOT LETTER OF RECALL FROM HONDA ON AIR BAG. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THEY FIXED IT. BUT IN ACCIDENT NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG WAS INFLATED. VEHICLE IS TOTALED. HONDA HAS COMPROMISED SAFETY OF VEHICLE AND PUT MY LIFE AT RISK.

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE STALLED, FUMES APPEARED FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE CAR JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO GET HIT BY SPEEDING CARS COMING FROM BEHIND. WE HAD TO TO L TOW IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED. AT FIRST I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM, BUT THEN ANOTHER MECHANIC TOLD ME THE SAME THING.

ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AT 99,000 MILES. COOLANT LEAKING.

Originally this happened 2 years ago.. The bracket where my serpentine pivot arm and my alternator mounts to my engine block. Well those bolts broke the holes they screw into on my engine block. Jb weird this together temporarily till finding a better fix. My engine block is the cast aluminum so u can't well anything on there to hold the screws in. The other day I am driving my car and the bolts just came out while driving causing my belt to slip off and I couldn't turn my steering wheel.

THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHT IS ON AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I FEEL VERY UNSAFE AND UNSTABLE IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND THE OTHER PEOPLE PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS MATTER THANK YOU. *TR

COOLANT LEAK BEHIND O2 SENSOR IN THE BLOCK OF R18. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 122,000 MILES SUPER LOW MILEAGE AND BELIEVED TO HAVE A LEAKING HEAD GASKET. *TR

MY AUNT, PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2007. SHE DIED IN 2015 AND OUR MOTHER PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THE ESTATE. AFTER THE PURCHASE WE SAW THE RE-CALL AND 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CAR BECAUSE OF "ENGINE BLOCK CRACKING". WE TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALER WHO SAID THAT SINCE THERE WAS NO COOLANT LEAKING, THERE WAS NO CRACK IN THE BLOCK AND HE COULD NOT FIX A CAR THAT WAS NOT IN NEED OF REPAIR. THE CARE HAD 70,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. MY MOM DIED THIS FEBRUARY AND WE AGAIN PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THE ESTATE. IT HAD 75,000 MILES ON IT. LAST WEEK, THE ENGINE BLOCK STARTED LEAKING AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN ENGINE BLOCK CRACK, AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WE COULD DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT HAD EXCEEDED THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR ONLY HAD 79,000 MILES ON IT. HONDA SHOULD HAVE MADE A 10 YEAR AND 100,000 MILE EXTENSION. WE WERE PENALIZED BECAUSE WE ARE LOW MILEAGE DRIVERS. THIS IS VERY UNFAIR AND SHOULD CONSIDER A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE. ANY ADVICE OR GUIDANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU, [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

Purchased vehicle from private owner. After a year the car began overheating, took in to auto shop for repair and was advised of a cracked engine block. Shop advised of recall on block and referred me to Honda. Honda denied my claim and advised to me the recall was expired.

BURNT WIRE SMELL AND SMOKE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL.

THE CARS COOLANT AND OIL KEPT MIXING AND THE COOLANT WOULD QUICKLY DEPLETE AND LEAK OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR, THE ENGINE WOULD ALSO HEAT TO THE MAXIMUM TEMP ON THE ENGINE IF I DID NOT CONSTANTLY FILL MY COOLANT. I WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE TO GET THIS CHECKED OUT AND IT WAS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK, I FOUND OUT THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THIS EXACT YEAR AND ISSUE BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED FOR SOME REASON! I FEAR ONE DAY MY CAR WILL BLOW UP ON ME AND HONDA SHOULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE.
