Consumer Description

I HAD A MYSTERIOUS COOLANT LEAK FROM MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I HAD THE WATER PUMP CHECKED AND IT WAS FINE. I HAD TO ADD COOLANT AND WATER TO MY JEEP EVERYTIME I WENT SOMEWHERE SO IT DID NOT OVER-HEAT. I WENT TO WORK AND MY JEEP WAS STARTING TO OVER-HEAT. AFTER MY 8 HOUR SHIFT I PUT IN 2 GALLONS OF WATER INTO THE RADIATOR. IT SEEMED FINE UNTIL I GOT ABOUT A MILE FROM MY APARTMENT WHEN MY JEEP JUST STALLED OUT. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED BACK TO MY APARTMENT. I HAD A MECHANIC COME OVER AND HE THOUGHT I JUST BLEW A HEAD GASKET. AS HE WENT TO REPLACE IT, HE REALIZED THAT MY ENGINE HAD BLOWN UP BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, ALSO I STILL OWE 7000 ON IT. *TR
