In owners' own words
Engine light came on. First time this has happened. Took car immediately to Honda Dealer for inspection of engine light. Was informed that the car had a blown head gasket. Car only had 116000 miles. Car was taken to same dealer where purchased, and serviced constantly. Not once were we notified of any issue with the engine. Engine
Blown head gasket repaired after unknown coolant loss. Eventually intermittent warnings to pull over and slow down which resolved within seconds. Continued until it was determined the gasket had failed. Numerous instances of hybrid engines failing in this manner. Repaired by independent shop. Engine
The head gasket on the engine has blown at only 94,000 miles. Car overheated on the side of the freeway and I took it to the dealership. Dealer confirmed that the head gasket was leaking. Check engine light and a temp warning came on as the car overheated. Engine
