New Car Assessment Program
The 2007HONDACIVIC carries 1465 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 64 crashes, 9 fires, 90 injuries, and 10 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2007 CIVIC is engine with 170 filings, followed by visibility (169) and air bags (149). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 9 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 3 investigation files overlapping the 2007 CIVIC. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

About a month ago, I brought my vehicle to a Honda-specialized shop, which has been servicing Hondas exclusively for over 30 years, due to a power steering issue. During the inspection, they informed me that my car is covered under a service bulletin (1048 or 10 048) related to a potential defect in the engine block. The shop mentioned that vehicles with a VIN starting with â1HGâ may be eligible for an extended warranty or recall for this issue. I was completely unaware of this situation, as my car has never overheated, and I had no prior indication of any engine-related problems. Following this information, I took the car to a Honda dealership for a diagnostic assessment. The dealership recommended an engine replacement, which would be a costly repair. This recommendation seems perplexing, given that I have consistently taken proper care of the vehicle over the years, and there have been no significant overheating or other apparent engine issues. It appears that there may be a l

Engine block cracked causing coolant leak as confirmed by an ase mechanic. A replacement engine is needed at a cost of $5k-6k. Iâm [XXX] old and canât afford the cost. honda customer service was called and they said it was my responsibility to fix their manufacturing engine defect. honda should be forced to replace these engines. Itâs their fault for the defect and need to step up and fix THEIR problems. Instead of forcing [XXX] old and in poor health seniors to fix it.

At just over 130K miles, we have a cracked engine block.
Cracked engine block to the front, lower passenger sideof the engine block behind of the catalytic converter. Issue unknowingly began when commuting on the freeway until car was left parked for an hour. Coolant had puddled under the car in that time and upon inspection noted dried blue coolant sprayed all across the under side of the car originating from the cracked area indicating I was still driving when the leak started without any warnings. Given how much coolant leaked over that hour, this could cause rapid engine overheat while driving if the leak remains unknown. After some research, Honda knew about this manufacturing defect for a number of years and issued an extended warranty but those have all since expired, while engines are continuing to crack and fail.
Engine Block Cracked. Coolant all leaked out of water jacket. (concurrent with TSB 10-048) Yes it is available for inspection. Car Over Heated, while traveling at speed. Manufacturer is denying inspection. No warning lamps, or lights.

Transmission issue Started from no where, I keep my car maintained all the time, making sure of oil, other maintenance. Even exterior cleaning. After checking with many places and online they mentioned itâs the 3rd clutch for the transmission. I have the same issue after driving 600 miles. Still trying to find out why this happened.

Transmission issue reported and the mechanic was surprised bc the car was running very well and I maintain it all the times. Engine light was on as well as the D was blinking Green at the time. Very Safety concerns when the car does have this issues, the car canât shift to next speed this could lead to a crash anywhere. Of course people start to get upset due to the car doesnât run as expected on the road. Mechanic changed the 3rd clutch for the transmission but after one week I h am having the same issue again. Transmission issues are very expensive and needs a very experienced mechanic to take care of it. The issue was confirmed by mechanic and certified mechanic place. I had to tow my car and costed my a lot of money. I will attach the communication with the insurance company.
cracked engine block
The engine block is cracked and is available for inspection upon request. My safety is put at risk when my car overheats regularly. The problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance representative. There were not indications that the problem would occur, until it overheated the first time in December 2021.
UNKNOWN. This has been an ongoing problem for years. I finally retired and had enough time to trace it down Water was getting on the floor of my car on passenger side after substantial rainfall. Extended shoulder harness webbing as far as it would go and found webbing soaking wet from water on last 2 feet of webbing that could be exposed and assume webbing still wet hidden within sidewall panel. (Nobody used the shoulder harness on passenger side of car) Taped off sunroof and doors on that side and found when using a water hose, water was getting into the passenger shoulder harness area and also dripping out of shoulder harness sidewall height adjuster. Removed the roof moulding trim strip on right side of roof, inspected, found no body seam sealant had been applied at the factory in the area where roof and side panel of car was spot welded when manufactured. Welds are still ok but an exposed gap was missing body seam-sealant along the area starting about 18 inches aft of windshield
2007 Honda Civic with cracked engine block. Problem is well documented yet concealed. Honda knows the car was possibly defective but issued no recall
Honda put out a warranty extension of ten years for certain Civic models for a known casting issue that led to a cracked engine block. Rather than issuing a recall, they settled some law suits and did a warranty extension. I recently purchased a 2007 Civic from a relative who was unaware of the warranty extension. The car is five years passed the warranty expiration and Honda will do nothing to assist with this very well known issue! I find it completely unfair and unprofessional of Honda to offer no assistance for an issue they admitted full fault to! I now have a cracked engine block and no help from the once reliable auto dealer. I would be more understanding if this wasn't an issue that causes catastrophic failure, but this is unacceptable. I firmly believe that Honda should issue a recall for the known issues and resolve them in a responsible manner.
Engine block failure leaking coolant in cylinders 3 and 4. According to Honda Civic forums, this is a common problem with the 2006-2009 Honda civics.
