Consumer Description

THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IN CAR RISES TO VERY HOT. THERE IS NO STEAM OR ANYTHING COMING FROM CAR, BUT YOU MUST STILL STOP ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAIT FOR THE GAUGE TO READ COOL BEFORE YOU CAN CONTINUE ON. THIS ALSO HAPPENS IF YOU ARE ON A LINE FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME. BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM I OWN A CAR THAT I DRIVE ONLY AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. *JB
