My engine light came on due to the fact that I needed to replace my O2 sensor. While attempting to replace it we noticed a crack in the exhaust manifold. When we took it to the shop we were told that this was a common problem with Honda Civics. Apparently they see the manifolds start to crack around 110,000 miles. The cost was nearly $700 to replace it.

Exhaust manifold is cracked and leaks. Manifold makes noise and exhaust gas can be smelled in the passenger compartment. This does not comply with FMVSS requiring all exhaust gases be vented behind the passenger compartment.

The engine light came on and I took it to the shop to determine the cause. They told me that the exhaust manifold had cracked. They also told me that this is a common occurrence for the Honda Civic. The cost of repair will be over $600 provided that this did not damage the oxygen sensor. If that is the case, then the cost will be an additional $100 to $200 more. Given that this is a common occurence, I felt that it may warrant further reporting to your organization.
