Car died on the side of the road. Let's guess what's wrong

And it's back in the shop. Leaking coolant which made it overheat. I'm guessing mechanic probably did something to this one. I don't have any blue antifreeze so just getting it towed.

Not having great luck with these civics looks likes

Oh wow. I would bet that would be mechanic error

Agree @Bulkybear

Me too. Since I only had it back for 130 miles. Got the whole we don't do loaner cars bs. But was angry enough that I negotiated my way into one.

Ya. Why should you be inconvenienced because of an obvious mechanical failure.
My dealer tried that on me when I had my car in for the piston ring replacement. A quick call to Honda HQ fixed that real fast!

Got the car back. The hoses that go to the throttle body was pinched and leaked. Hope it's the last visit in a while

 

[Bulkybear]

That's good. I take it the overheating didnt cause any damage then?

I had a scan gage and only peaks at 245 where the temp light came on and shut off right away. So far nothing seemed off.
