No master mechanic but you replaced the thermostat, upper and lower hoses and the radiator. On your way home the upper hose popped, popped off or a hole in it? You could have a bad thermostat, I like Honda parts there tolerances are tighter. Don't know what else to say, sorry not much help. All those parts the thermostat is the only thing that moves. You sure you have those hoses on tight enough?

Have the head gasket checked after inspecting the thermostat that was just installed.

Was this happening before the other work was done?
