2006 to 2009 engine blocks crack and you should be concerned about antifreeze poisoning. I ended up in Mission Viejo hospital with kidney and heart problems. If you have any dizzy spells fainting, or if your kidney cannot process food correctly you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Antifreeze poisoning is hard to detect and you could die. I'm in a process with my doctors and my lawyer to sue the f*** out of Honda Corporation for personal injury.

I was driving my car and smelled like something burning. pulled over and noticed that the belt was wearing away. i took it to firestone and was told that the compressor went bad and the engine block and motor mounts cracked. i need a mew engine block. the car is under warranty till may 2013. i took it to honda and they looked at the car. but for whatever reason they refuse to honor my warranty and fix my car. so i called my insurance company. they came out to look at the car. they concluded that the damage to the engine is a result of a mechanical failure and not from a car accident. as a result they too cant help me. so now i am paying a car note and insurance, but cant use my car because of the engine defect.
