MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC SI HAS BEEN LEAKING COOLANT FOR THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS. IT IS CURRENTLY AT AROUND 115,000 MILES. I NOTICED ALL OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY INFORMATION ABOUT THE 06-09 HONDA CIVICS AND CONTACTED BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND CORPORATE MYSELF. THEY TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE MY MODEL WAS NOT THE BASE MODELS BUT THE SI THAT IT WAS A DIFFERENT ENGINE AND THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. HOWEVER I AM GOING TO GET THE CAR BACK FROM MY MECHANIC TODAY WHO ESTIMATED THE REPAIRS WOULD BE $4500 TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE ENGINE. HE ALSO BROUGHT UP THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE AND SUGGESTED I CONTACT HONDA AGAIN BECAUSE THE PRESSURE FRACTURES ARE IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE AS THEY ARE ON THE BASE MODEL 06-

ON MY 08 HONDA CIVIC SI IN FIJI BLUE PAINT, THE CLEAR COAT IS DETERATING ON THE ROOF AND NOW WHEELS ARE PEELING CLEAR.. MY CAR IS GARAGE KEPT AND WELL MAINTAINED. I DID SEE WHERE HONDA WOULD REPAINT AFFECTED AREAS, SO ON MY LAST VISIT TO DEALER I ASK THE SERVICE LADY TO PLEASE PLEASE FIX. SHE INFORMED ME THAT SHE WOULD DOCUMENT SAID AREAS AND E-MAIL ME WHAT TO DO NEXT. IT HAS BEEN 3 MONTHS WITH NO SOLUTION. I HAVE MET A COUPLE OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS THAT HAS HAD THE AREAS REPAINTED. SO I DONT KNOW WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. I DID SEE THAT THESE CERTAIN COLORS WERE IN A CAMPAIGN FOR THIS REASON. I WAS INFORMED THAT A DEADLINE WAS PLACED, BUT IS THE DEALERS DISCRETIONON WHICH CARS TO RE PAI
