“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!!!”

NO WARNINGS OR ENGINE FAULT CODES FOUND ON ECU, THIS MECHANICAL FAILURE WILL CAUSE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK-UP, THE POWER BRAKES TO NO LONGER FUNCTION CORRECTLY AND PUTS THE DRIVER AND EVERYONE AROUND AT A SERIOUS RISK OF INJURY AND DEATH.”
