Key for this make is not recognized. Honda said it is a "inmobilization system issue. Key flashes on dashboard and it wont start (key programmed). They know about this problem for this year. I'm concerned it can stop at any given moment causing an accident.

Request for issuance of recall. 2006 civic: engine does not start, and the immobilizer system makes car inoperable, especially if the battery recently went dead and the engine was jump-started. The dome light in my car, 2006 civic ex sedan, was left on the and battery was dead, and then car was jump started. After that the immobilizer system prevented the car from starting. 1. This is a well-known design defect (honda defect code: 03217) reported in many, many postings and comments on the internet, over many years, from 2006 until recently, both here in the u.s. And in the uk. See extracts from numerous internet reports in attachment (internet reports - problem.docx). 2. There is no warning about this problem or information in the owner's manual for this car, or any notification from honda, on the correct way to jump start the car to avoid the problem. See jump starting section in attachment (2006 ex owner's manual.pdf) 3. Honda has issued: "service bulletin - august 2, 2006 06-036 - immobilizer indicator is blinking, engine won't start symptom the engine does not start, and the immobilizer indicator is blinking (especially if the battery recently went dead and the engine was jump-started). Probable cause the immobilizer imoes code has been erased.

An expensive repair should not be needed simply for jump starting a car with a dead battery - a normal procedure that any car can sometimes need. A recall should be issued.

Cracks in the engine motor behind the exhaust manifold and near the ignition which is causing a serious coolant leak. Plus, the A/C in the car won't start, but heat works

After diving my 2006 honda civic about 5 miles, I could smell it burning and seen smoke coming from under the hood. Notice the temperature gauge was high and the car wouldn't start...had the car towed to honda where I was told the warrant had expired... I have a 2006 honda civic, it developed a cracked engine at 120k miles and coolant leaked. Its a known issue with honda civic with a weak point in their new aluminum engine with a warranty issued number 10-048. Initially the warranty was issued for 8 years and then increased to 10 years. How ever my honda is 11 years old and in spite of low mileage honda refuses to do anything. Shame on honda for providing a defective product and not fixing it

Another starter motor problem. Car won't start. Not the battery. There are hundreds of complaints with this generation of honda civics having cars not able to start up that's not a battery problem.

History from odi # 10572660: 6-18-09 honda dealership did feb 2009 recall (replaced auto-tensioner pivot bolt & reroute belt) at 28,324 mi. 9-15-12 engine failed (48144 mi.) approaching stop intersection. Subsequently would not crank to start. Towed car to service station. 9-18-12 vehicle repaired -- due to broken pivot bolt, a new honda recall belt kit, including new bolt, belt, belt tensioner assembly & water pump pulley had to be installed. Approximately 20,000 mi. After recall kit & new bolt was installed to prevent the pivot bolt from breaking, the bolt broke and stopped the car from functioning completely. Had I been in higher speed traffic the results may have been disastrous. ----------------------------------------------------------- 12-20-13 car died approaching intersection -- towed for service. Again pivot bolt had broken, causing cascade of events preventing car from functioning -- this time within only 7000 mi. After new belt tensioner recall kit & new pivot bolt was installed. When this occurs, the car is inoperative. This bolt has been replaced three times and broken twice. I am now afraid to drive car for fear of it ceasing to run at any time. Honda internet forums specifically for the 2006 civic mention many similar occurrences.

Got into vehicle to start up, it would not crank, once it did crank speed would not exceed 25-30 MPH, drove 2 mile to mechanic. Upon further investigation of problem the mechanic found 2 cracks in the engine block on the back side. He states that it had been leaking water and antifreeze for a while. He said he had not seen this type crack since he has been in business. He also stated that the crack was very odd because of where the cracks were. He commented that was a defect from factory. Nothing was done by honda even though there were aware of issues with the engine in the 2006-2008 engines in the honda civic. Just sol with honda. They comment that around 80,000-95,000 miles this was when this might happen. Car has 92,000 on it and has not been driven hard.

Our 2006 honda civic ex would not start after driven to a park. When trying to start the car, the dashboard lit up and the starter made clicking noise, but would not start. While checking the battery, we discovered that the entire positive side of cable under the plastic cover was corroded out. Police came and tried to help us to jump the car which was not working. We had the car towed to the nearest honda dealer piassa honda in drexel hill, pa which quoted us $1,300 for changing the entire battery cable harness. We were in a shock and refused the service, but had them replaced a new battery then driven home. By doing the research, we found this is a common problem with 2006 honda civic. Honda purchased a batch of defected batteries which leaking out acid that corroded out the cable. I'm a die hard honda fan. My last 1996 honda accord had no issue and let me ride it over 330,000 miles with only minimum regular maintenance. My expectation of honda car is extremely high. I had my entire die hard us car family converted to honda. Please do not let me down. Sincerely yours
