Car was overheating as I was stopped, drove to Honda they said it's a cracked block that was consistent with this year I read up on many others on the internet - Honda is only handling if a problem arises and some Honda dealerships are trying to make the customer pay for the damage from their defective product is a class action lawsuit viable to protect Honda owners?
Texas - was traveling down highway when car suddenly felt like a tire was going down. Quickly exited and car died as the temperature gauge showed vehicle was hot. Had no prior warning indication engine was hot. This total incident suddenly occurred and ended in less than 1 minute. Had vehicle towed to mechanic who maintains vehicle on a regular basis. Mechanic advised that engine was completely gone due to cracked block which also blew the head. Mechanic further advised that Honda had technical service bulletins reference this vehicle model with engine and cooling problems and had extended warranty for this problem. Vehicle was towed to local Honda dealer and Honda is replacing the whole engine because of this problem at no further cost to me. Very happy with my dealership.
Felt very strong vibration in steering wheel. All passengers felt the vibration also. Took vehicle to dealership and a broken motor mount was discovered. Had motor mount replaced for fear of vehicle breakdown.

While driving our 2007 Honda Civic our air conditioner stopped working. Unfortunately when I took the Honda in for repair our warranty did not cover the condenser being damaged. A small hole was the culprit of the problem and ironic enough I am not the only one with this problem. Honda needs to fix these issues causing most of their vehicle going in for repairs that cost 500- 1000 to fix. I think it crap and its all over the forums something needs to be put in place to have this situation fixed it crap. Honda needs a recall to be done on these parts.
Have had problems with the ac since I've bought the car. Normally something small like the blower however this week it was the compressor. Have my car maintenance on a regular basis, overcharge of system is not possible, so I'm not sure why this compressor would be going out after only 5 years. Cost over $1200 to fix. Decided to research a little on this model and apparently this is something that is common on the 07 model. I believe Honda is aware of the faulty part and is not taking responsibility. I called and spoke with a gentleman who was very pleasant however this was obviously above his pay grade. He said if I had contacted them before I had the part fixed they might have helped. Honda needs to own up to this issue.
