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. | |

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

I have a strange question. I have a 2008 Civic Automatic with 3500 miles on it. No problems so far other than I have noticed the AC does take a while to get cold and the heater also is slower to warm than I like. Also, in very cold weather (which doesn't happen much here in Washington) the windshield or dash made lots of crackling noise until it warms up. Anyway, my question is on two separate occasions when I went to shift the car into park to get out the shifter knob and shifter shaft were very warm to touch. Is this normal?
