In October 2025, the vehicle developed a strong burning-like odor from the HVAC vents, the temperature gauge rose, and an \u201cEngine Hot\u201d warning message appeared. At the same time, engine performance deteriorated and the engine began misfiring. Due to the overheating warning and drivability issues, I stopped using the vehicle and brought it to Pit Stop Auto Center (203 Clinton Place, Long Branch, NJ 07740) for inspection.  Component/system that failed or malfunctioned: The engine head gasket failed (engine/cooling system). The failure resulted in internal oil-to-coolant cross-contamination, with a milky/frothy oil\u2013coolant mixture visible in the coolant reservoir and additional visible oil contamination when removing the coolant cap. The mechanic also stated in a message dated October 29, 2025 that after removing the water pump, they discovered that engine oil was mixed with coolant inside the cooling system.  How safety was put at risk: The head gasket failure caused an engine overheating condition (\u201cEngine Hot\u201d warning) and misfiring/reduced performance, creating a risk of loss of power and breakdown while driving. The burning odor from the vents also raised safety concerns. I brought the vehicle in to prevent further damage and unsafe operation.  Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center: The problem was confirmed by an independent service center (Pit Stop Auto Center) based on inspection and documented evidence of oil mixed with coolant.  Has the vehicle/component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance, or others:  by DCH Kay Honda/Pit Stop Auto Center  Warning lamps/messages/symptoms prior to failure: Burning odor from vents, elevated temperature gauge, and \u201cEngine Hot\u201d warning message, with noticeable engine performance deterioration and misfiring beginning in October 2025.
