Then why is cursing honda atlas for what clearly is his own mistake...even if there was no leak then the car temp guage should be monitored regularly to see temp changes. He obviously didn't notice and kept on driving with an overheated engine.
I once saw a 2017 model oriel that had come for a complete engine overhaul because the driver forgot to put the cap back in place after checking engine coolant levels. Resulting in coolant loss and entually engine overheating. But the guy kept on driving with an engine temperature alarm resulting in engine damage.
What i am trying to say is yes...honda atlas as made some mistakes but 8 out of 10 times it usually the drivers fault
