Ok, I purchased this car a few years ago.. brand new,, kept up with all service and everything.. and one day the engine starts knocking and smoke everywhere.. when going nearly 70mph down the garden state parkway i loose control and nearly hit a exit sign. Now at this point i could not steer because the engine had already shut off and steering this thing, going this fast was quite hard! Now Honda would not replace the engine, the warranty is still intact, but they said it was my fault, they cannot do anything about it. I never wanted to buy this car in the first place because is wasn't a sporty looking car and had no power, yet i bought it and now it blew. NEVER AGAIN WILL I EVER BUY A HONDA VEHICLE!!! THERE CARS ARE NOTHING BUT SH*T AND THEY DON'T EVEN BACK UP THERE GODDAMN WARRANTY'S! I thought i could use the lemon law, I CAN'T EVEN SUE THEM! because it's a few months older then the law requires!.. BULL SH*T!! HONDA SUCKS CIVICS SUCK. ALREADY TOLD ALL MY FRIENDS AND I'M SURE HONDA LOST ABOUT 7 OR 8 SALES BECAUSE OF ME!!! GOOD!!! BECAUSE I HOPE THEY GO OUT OF F'N BUSINESS.. DAMN SH*T. TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS:
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION PARTS THAT WERE DAMAGED, ---$6,225---
Honda claimed the engine had a malfunction or massive sludge build up causing the engine to burn up. CHECK UR CIVICS PEOPLE!!!!!

valve/piston smashed through head , honda saying it was due to over revving ,even though no suggestion/information from ECU reading . doing 20mph at the time when suddenly lost all power, when we bought car it came with " HONDA HAPPINESS " ex warranty ,it as taken honda 4 weeks to come up with this excuse even though they have no physical evidence, the " HONDA HAPPINESS " warranty says, " honda approved used car guarantee is designed to protect you from unforseen repairs and breakdowns leaving you free to concentrate on better things in life ". we are now faced with an £8000 bill. I cant concentrate and at the moment I can't think of anything that's " BETTER IN LIFE " and as for "HONDA HAPPINESS " I have never felt so " MISERABLE " in my life !!! so if anyone from HONDA UK CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT ,470 LONDON ROAD, SLOUGH, BERKS, SL3 8QY, ever reads this thanks for making my life far happier and better .
