Wow...its hard to believe so many people are experiencing the same problem. Aaaaand no recalls ? Ridiculous.......I was lucky enough to catch the problem before any over heating occurred but I can just imagine what other people are having to deal with. Im at only 45,000 and have a cracked block?!....Obviously my warranty is still good. I dont know what id do if i was expected to pay for this. Hmmm Im thinking I should get rid of this car before I do have to pay for HONDAs mistakes.

Although it was covered by the power train warranty, the expense of a rental car wasn't... the dealership didn't stock the parts (even though Honda had a bulletin out on this problem for 2006 & 2007 civics) and I was in a rental for 7 days! Last Honda I will ever own!

Civic LX 1.8L 4 cyl
I have a 2007 honda civic with 66,000 miles. About 10 days ago I began having problems with AC cooling after driving the car for 12 miles. Later the same day after driving for about 20 miles the AC stop working and the temperature gage started climbing. By the time I got home (10 miles) the gage was in the red. I check coolant revevoir and coolant looked okay. I check the Coolant again 24 hors later and it was fine did not see any leakage on garage floor. I did not drive the car for over a week. The day I took to the mechanic; drove 12 mile, the AC was working but the engine temperature indicator was going up quickly again. To my surprise and that of all the mechanics at the shop they found out that the ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED. I contact Honda Corp. and explained what had happen and before I finished the story they new what I was talking about. They mention Techical Sevice Bulletin 08-004. I was given a case # and advised to take it to my nearest Honda Service (Daytona Beach). They would fax the dealership the problem and have them confirm the engine cracked. They also told me that if the Honda dealership will not 'assist' me with the repair (car is past warrantee) To contact them again and they will do something.
The dealership thought that I had overheated the engine to the point it steamed for it to have that kind of crack. I related to them the same story above. They call me 24 hrs later saying that They were told by Corp to take the whole engine aapart. They had also order the parts. They offer a rental??? and was told that They will contact me first if there were any charges incurred. I'll know more next week and keep all of you posted.
If anyone is having this problem please contact Honda corp first 1-800-999-1009
