Honda has produced faulty engine blocks on civic models from 2006-2009 that tend to crack. This is a safety issue as it can cause the car to stall on a highway and lead to an accident. Honda extended their warranty from 7 to 10 years instead of issuing a recall even though they know they sold a faulty product. On tuesday, oct 27th 2020, driving home from work the car temperature gauge maxed out and shaking was felt as if the car was going to stall. Luckily, this occurred coming off the highway and while driving on city streets and near my residence and not while on the highway where the car could have stalled and caused a dangerous situation. The vehicle was taken to honda service center the following day for a diagnostic check and it was determined that the engine block had cracked. The engine cracking was the reason the cars warranty was extended to 10 years but the extension of the warranty to my vehicle has expired. Honda has quoted me $6,395.40 to replace a known faulty engine block. I believe a faulty engine block creates an unsafe condition to all drivers and should be replaced by honda before someone gets hurt.
