Consumer Description

I HAVE A PROBLEM AND I DONT KNOW WHERE TO GO FOR ANSWERS ON MY CAR. I HAVE A 2000 PONTIAC SUNFIRE...WE HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL WITH IT TILL I TOOK IT IN LAST WEEK FOR INSPECTION. THEY TOLD ME IT NEEDED, BRAKES AND ROTORS AND 2 NEW TIRES.......THEN THE DAY I GOT IT, IT LEFT ME STRANDED ALONG THE ROAD, THE TEMP GAUGE KEPT GOING PASSED 265 AND THE CHECK GAUGES LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND I HAD TO LET THE CAR SIT. I CALLED THE GARAGE WHERE IT WAS INSPECTED AT AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM.....THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR THE LAST 4 DAYS, DRIVING TO FIND A PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY NOTICED ANTIFREEZE WAS LEAKING BUT HAD NO IDEA WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. NOW TODAY THEY JUST CALLED BACK AND TOLD ME, MY WATER PUMP AND THERMOSTAT WENT OUT ON IT AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM...IS THIS SOUND NORMAL TO YOU GUYS????? IT WAS RUNNING TERRIFIC UNTIL THE INSPECTION...I PAID OVER 1200 SO FAR. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME OUT WITH THIS?
