Hello,
Yesterday, my 2007 Honda Odyssey ( V6) overheated ( temp sensor went right up to the Red zone ). I stopped the vehicle immediately and got it towed to the Hond dealership. It is a Honda certified Van. I took a look under the hood and saw green stuff ( coolant ) splattered across the top of the engine. I also observed a milky white discharge from the radiator. I have attached photos that I took of this mess.
The dealership tells me that somebody intentionally introduced some foreign substance into the radiator because of which I am seeing this issue. I lived in a gated community and have a tough time believing this. Also they tell me that since this is not a manufacturing defect, it is not covered under the Honda warranty. They are charging me $820 to replace the radiator and the coolant.
Is this diagnosis right or am I being ripped off ?
Thanks,
