My wife called on her way to work this morning to report that the temp gauge on our 06 Civic EX was pegged. Had it towed to the dealer and just received the call a little while ago that the engine block is cracked. The car has under 30,000 miles on it but it's been tough local mileage around DC.
The rub: the car is about 15 days beyond the 3 year mark, so technically it's out of warranty. My service guy is calling American Honda to see what he can work out.

You are correct  and thanks for all the well-wishes.
The bad news: my dealer has received no word from American Honda yet.
The good news: My previous research on the warranty terms was incorrect. Per the Honda website, the 2006 Civic powertrain warranty is 5 years, 60,000 miles. So I should be good.

this is disturbing, especially considering the quality and reliability we've come to know and expect from honda.
