Consumer Description

THE CAR FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS HAS HAD AN OVERHEATING PROBLEM. FIRST IN 2000 THE WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED. 3 MONTHS LATER TROUBLE CAME BACK AND THERMOSTAT WAS REPLACED. 2 MONTHS LATER OVERHEATING AGAIN AND THIS TIME COOLANT LEAKING. THEY REPLACED A CLAMP ON THE HEAT PUMP HOSE. 6 MONTHS LATER TROUBLE IS BACK AGAIN THIS TIME IT OVERHEATED AND BLEW THE HEATER PUMP HOSE AND COOLANT WENT EVERYWHERE. ALL IN ALL IT COST ME OUT OF POCKET $1600 BECAUSE NONE OF THE REPAIRS WERE COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY INCLUDED THE EXTENDED I HAD PURCHASED.*JB
