POOR QUALITY - 2007 Honda Accord

Honda recommends at 7years/105,000miles to perform Timing Belt preventive maintenance service on 1997 Accords.

At 7 years and 36,139 miles, I had the dealer replace the four belts and the working water pump that is driven by

The timing belt, and is behind a cover.
Earlier this year, just over five years later, I noticed coolant leaking under the car. The dealer replaced a leaking water pump and the four belts.
The new replacement water pump began leaking as soon as it was installed!
So they had to take off the four belts again, replace the leaking water pump with another new water pump, and reinstall the four belts.
I sent American Honda two letters

Asking them the following questions:

1. Why did the Honda replacement water pump lasted just over five years, with only 39,618 miles on it?
2. Why did the new Honda replacement water pump failed immediately out of

The box?
3. Will the coolant that spilled on the new timing belt and balance shaft belt affect their longevity?
To date, I have not received an answer!
And I have owned three Accords!
