Consumer Description

MY CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER ON A WEDNESDAY AND RADIATOR WAS REPLACED, AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK ON FRIDAY EVENING, SAT. THE CAR OVERHEATED AGAIN AND HAD TO BE TOWED. AFTER CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM I WAS TOLD THE MOTOR BLEW AND THEY WERE TRYING TO FIND A REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD I MUST HAVE RUN THE CAR HOT. THE CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE RUN HOT IF A NEW RADIATOR WAS INSTALLED THE DAY BEFORE. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A CAR PAYMENT AND NO CAR. *NM
