Consumer Description

5/1, 5/2--IGNITION SIMPLY CLICKED . IT TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES TO GET IT STARTED IN EACH CASE. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP--COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. NOT THE BATTERY. 5/6, 5/8--ENGINE DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IGNITION CLICKED WHEN TRIED TO RESTART. TAKEN TO REPAIR SHOP AGAIN--COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. CHRONIC--SINCE I HAVE HAD THE AUTO THE "LOW COOLANT LIGHT" SHOWS. THIS LAST TIME AT REPAIR SHOP, I WAS TOLD THAT AUTO WAS LEAKING COOLANT--MOST LIKELY GASKET AND WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. *TR
