#193 of 232 Starting Problem by sandman46 Jan 20, 2009 (3:15 pm)
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 Replies to this message: johnny__rf (Mar 05, 2009 8:19 pm)

#195 of 232 Used Honda Engine by mafanslau Feb 26, 2009 (5:58 pm)
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. Replies to this message: mikefm58 (Feb 26, 2009 6:34 pm)

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.

Replying to: mafanslau (Feb 26, 2009 5:58 pm) Hmmm seems like a no brainer to me, 13K miles versus 55K miles, take it and run. Goodwill warranty? Don't hold your breath and that goodwill warranty means squat to the ins co or body shop.   And you feel you should get a new engine? Heck, why not ask for a brand new car? IMO you are being totally unreasonable.

Replying to: sandman46 (Jan 20, 2009 3:15 pm) I also have an 09 civic ex with intermittent starting problem. once or twice a week it does not start on 1st attempt. 2nd attempt always works. Not a fan of intermittent problems. btw - it always starts when it is warm....
#200 of 232 Service Bulletin by sandman46 Mar 06, 2009 (2:01 pm)
I don't have a copy of it unfortunately but I think if you do a google search, it should pop up for ya. My tires seem to be wearing much better so I'm pleased. never ever had a starting problem with my Civic, thank G-d! Drives great and my oil minder is at 30% with 19.8k on the odometer. Probably will wait till I hit 21k to do the next oil & filter swap. Probably will stick with the synthetic blend instead of the full synthetic, as my mileage per year is around 7k. Still a great little car.   The Sandman

Replying to: Liz4891 (Jan 20, 2009 9:34 am) If the tint on the rear window of your civic is a metalising tint, it can interfere with radio reception. We found this problem with our civic, and had the tint removed, greatly increasing the quality of the radio reception.
