Replying to: falax0123 (Jan 05, 2009 5:21 pm) I haven't been on in a while!! I hope the new battery fixes your problem. At least they tried something. This is the second time now.... I just took my car in ( and left it there overnight, but of course it started fine this morning and so they won't even look into what is wrong. I took it to a different dealership in hopes that they would actually do something. They say the radio works fine (in their garage... they should really take it for a drive) and they blame the bad gas milage on the "winter" blend gases that the gas companies are using. They make me feel like I'm crazy. I'm really not.... I've had two people witness the starting problem, lol!! I guess I'll wait a little longer till something major goes wrong. I just worry because lemon laws run out in one year and I worry that I have one. This isn't my first new car, but it's the first one I've ever had problems with. Thanks for the post! I'll have to see about how it reacts if I drive far the night before. I didn't notice a trend, but I do drive a lot too! I have 5000 miles and I've only had my car since October. Liz!!

One of our cars has this same problem also...does it at home but not at the dealers service bay. Since they can't see the problem, they write down "no problem at this point" on the paperwork. Very frustrating but they can't fix what they can't see or hear. Stinks really. Eventually it'll happen there, we hope. The Sandman

Had some autobody work completed on my car and the autobody shop failed to correctly attach the radiator hose to my engine causing my engine to overheat and fail. I now need a new engine. My current engine had 55,000 miles on it. The insurance company for the autobody shop wants to put in a used motor with 13,000 miles on it. I am currently requesting them to warranty the used engine for at least 1 year since my powertran engine is not up yet on my current engine and I have yet to hear back from the insurance company My new concern is TSB 08-044 on the cracked engine block. My concern is that with the used engine going into my car I may not be eligible for the "goodwill warranty" that honda may provide if I have a future problem with a cracked engine block. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions on this? I feel like I should be getting an entire new engine, but don't know if that is going to happen.

| Man, that is bad, was the work done at a Honda Dealership or a 3rd party maintainer? If it were me I think I would have noticed the temp gauge overheating before it blew the engine. still this is no excuse to not connect the radiator hose after a repair.--Good Luck--My 2008 Civic is going in for service this weekend hopefully I will have better luck then you did. | |
