My very new 2017 Honda Odyssey (ody ex-l 6at) was 1307 miles driven. When I was driving on the highway the car suddenly showed low oil pressure light and the engine temperature gauge needle was at the h mark and then smoky fumes with smell of burnt rubber came from the engine hood. I immediately stopped the car and towed it back to the dealership. Honda dealership said it was a manufacturing defect related to coolant leak at thermostat housing resulting in blown head casket that caused extensive damage to engine. The Honda dealership repaired the car under factory warranty. My question is how can Honda sell such defective family cars to their customers and now how can I trust their workmanship in fixing this car ??.

I kept smelling antifreeze after driving the van but never could find a leak. Finally, I noticed the engine was overheating. Looking carefully, I discovered a coolant leak at head gasket area. While removing head assembly, I noticed two bolts were loose. After removing head assembly from engine block, I discovered stripped threads in one of the bolt holes to hold the head assembly down. A helicoil insert will be used to repair threads before reassembly.
