Consumer Description

I WAS JUST DRIVING TO THE STORE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT WARNING MY VAN STARTED TO OVERHEAT AND SMOKE THE TEMP GOT TO ABOVE 260 AND IT JUST STOPPED IN THE ROAD. I HAD MY CHILDREN WITH ME AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED. MY 17 YEAR OLD SON HAD TO PUSH ME OUT OF THE ROAD AND I CALLED MY BROTHER AND HE DROVE OUT TO ME AND CHECKED THINGS OUT WHO IS A MECHANIC AND HE SAID I BLEW A HEAD GASKET, HE SAID THESE THINGS HAPPEN BUT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AT 79,000 MILES. I CALLED AROUND TO SEE HOW MUCH IT WOULD BE TO FIX AND SO FAR NO ONE WILL DO IT BECAUSE IT IS ALOT OF TROUBLE. *TR
