Consumer Description
My 2018 Honda Accord with just 81k miles had its head gasket blown. The car has never been modified and I don't drive it hard. I was driving on the highway this past weekend (11/22/2024), and the car went into limb mode and stalled me on the highway. The check engine light started flashing and other lights on the dashboard all came on at once It started misfiring sporadically, so I took it took Honda and they told me due to Engine faulty design, the coolant is leaking into the combustion chamber and flooding the spark plugs, causing misfires. The service advisor at the Honda dealer mentioned that many customers with the same engine are experiencing this exact issue, and that it's only covered under extended warranty, otherwise I would have to pay out of pocket, I was quoted $5700
