1 Engine Head Gasket Failure problem

Failure Date: 10/26/2025

I was driving on a highway when a warning popped up about engine temperature being high, advising I avoid heavy acceleration. No other codes came. I parked the car and it sat for about 8 hours. I had a short drive and no warnings came on. I drove on a highway about 30 minutes the next morning and again, no warnings. I was about 2 hours from home. About half way, we stopped for food, still no issues, but when we got on the highway, within about 5 miles warning lights came on about engine temp and the car went into limp mode. I had to have it towed to our loacl Honda dealer. They confirmed coolant intrusion cylinder 3 and 4 confirming head gasket failure . Cost setimate was $6063. My car is on;y 6 12 year old, 140,000 miles and has always been maintained.
