It's essentially turned into what happened to the Lockheed L-188 Electra--a design fault caused a number of serious crashes. Lockheed had to modify at great expense the L-188's already in service and on the production line the engine nacelles to stop a peculiar engine vibration that caused those crashes. Interestingly, while Lockheed failed with the L-188, the P-3 Orion derived from the L-188 went on to great success with the US Navy. I wouldn't be surprised that a derivative of the 737 MAX (but with a different wing) becomes the next-generation version of the P-8 Poseidon ASW plane.

And Honda also makes their own engines

Hint...engines mounted Above and behind the wing
Not below and in front of the wing.
