Consumer Description

I WAS NO THE FREEWAY AND THERE IS A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION SO THERE IS NO WHERE TO PULL OVER THE CAR GOT REALLY HOT. I WAS TRYING TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY AS I WAS GOING ON THE OFF RAMP THE CAR TEMP ALL THE SUDDEN WENT RED THEN ENGINE HAD STOPPED. I HAD MY GIRLS IN THE CAR. THEY WHERE VERY SCARED. COME TO FIND OUT THE HEAD GASKET WENT OUT FOR THE SECOND TIME. IT WENT OUT JUST AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IT WAS AT 41000 MILE NOW AT 120000 IT GOES OUT AGAIN IT IS NOW GOING TO COST ME ANOTHER $1700 TO FIX IT. I HAVE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHY HAVE YOU NOT LOOK IN TO THIS PROBLEM. IS IT A SAFETY PROBLEM THESE CAR HEAT UP INSTEADLY AN THE ENGINE HAS A FAIL SAFE THAT SHUTS IT OFF. IF IT WOULD HAVE SHUT OFF A FEW MOMENTS EARLIER I WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN ON THE FREEWAY AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. *TR
