2008 Honda Civic: engine knocking or ticking

Filed Jul 15, 2016 · Body · 95,000 miles · PA

Paint issues - the front hood of the car, front fender, and front side fenders had to be repainted due to faulty clear coat issues. The roof has the same issue, but is outside of the warranty repair window, even though the issue is with their clear coat and not my vehicle; my vehicle is well maintained and well cared for including washing and polishing. Pictures of the roof are provided with no filter or alterations to the photos; the trunk has (knock on wood) yet to show any of these issues, but was also part of this same failure. I do not have any pictures of the hood, front/side fenders as those were repaired under warranty.

Addendum: reference odi number: 10748966. As of 6/19/2016 my honda civic has a recall for the passenger side airbag (VIN verified). I am not suppose to let anyone sit in the passenger seat until a honda dealer fixes it. So now I have no airbag and no seat belt on the driver's side (because it deployed without any reason)...I also have a loaded time bomb on the passenger side that honda wants to fix...but still no recall on the driver's airbag because honda doesn't think it needs to be recalled. Why isn't the federal safety agency making honda recall 2008 honda civics for the driver side airbag? Does someone have to die first? My god, the driver side airbag is ticking time bomb! Vr

Shortly after receiving a voluntary warranty extension/ recall my wife's 2008 honda civic lx 4 dr. Experience an engine block crack after driving on the freeway. I drove it to the dealer in waukesha, wi where is was confirmed as a crack. Since the replacement I have experienced issued with the new block including a knocking sound in the engine at low RPM's I was advised by honda in ca that the block is new however the older internal engine block parts were being reused to include the crank, pistons, etc. Which is causing the new engine to fail also.

My daughter lisa adkins and I own a 2008 honda civic lx. I sent this to the dealer that worked on it and based on my own investigation there seems to be a serious production defect with some of those vehicles. My daughter lisa adkins took her/my 2008 honda civic lx to your service dept on memorial day. To say I'm mad is just not a good enough description of how I feel. The car had a loud knocking noise, high vibration and back tires basically wiped out. Now you guys did provide service however little that was and false advice which is worse than none. 1) the service dept lied to my daughter about the problem which seems to be inherent in an unknown percentage of 2008 honda civics. I don't know why. Maybe they came off the same assembly line with a bad frame alignment or what ever. I do not know but I am going to find out. 2) the service guy said the tires weren't covered by the warranty. That really bleeped out off. There is a production problem with that car and you guys know it, and tried to hide it from my daughter with '!@#$% and tried to say it wasn't covered by warranty so she would have to pay for it. 3) you kind of made my daughter feel like this was her fault. Well kiss my ?!@#$% we'll see about that. I told her to return it to you guys and me/you/honda and the national transportation safety board will sort out the bodies. 4) in the 1980s I found a similar type thing with a tire called brigestone and never let it go until, well you know fella. As far as I am concerned you and your dealership have no regard for the safety of my daughter, my grandson or anyone else that rides in that car so just wait and see what happens you under a rock ?!@#$%.
