Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. THE TEMP GAUGE WENT UP AND THE ENGINE HAD NO POWER. SHE PULLED OVERHAND PARKED. AFTER THE CAR COOLED DOWN I TRIED STARTING IT AND THE TEMP STAYED DOWN SO I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I FELT ALL THAT WAS WRONG WAS THE THERMOSTAT STUCK. THEN I GET A CALL THAT THE HEAD GASKETS HAD FAILED AND THAT THE DAMAGE WAS GOING TO COST ME $2400 AT LEAST THAT BECAUSE OF THE GASKET FAILURE ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE WAS DONE. *JB
