My Honda Civic engine block was replaced at roughly 98k miles due to an engine mold defect. The car was built in Ontario. At the time of engine failure, no warning lights came on and the engine died. Fast forward 16 months. After driving fine, yesterday the engine suddenly started to sound like a dirt bike. Again, no warning indicators. Having fought tooth and nail to get my Honda dealer to fix the engine block in 2014, I decided to take the car to my local mechanic this time. Almost made it! But on the way the engine started to smell bad and then cut out after stopping at a stop sign. I rolled to the side of the road and got AAA to tow it to the mechanic.
The news is that the tensioner bolt for the engine snapped, destroying the water pump and pulley (most likely due to improper materials). I am beyond mad and now waiting to hear if the dealer is going to cover the repairs, which are in the $1k range without even looking to see if there's more damage underneath the engine.
