Consumer Description

AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH OVERHEAD, THE THERMOSTAT, ENGINE BELTS, AND WATER PUMP WERE REPLACED APRIL 30, 2011. APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER, THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER START. THE MECHANIC SAID THIS NO START CONDITION AND THE PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE THERMOSTAT/COOLANT WERE DUE TO A HEAD GASKET PROBLEM. THE HEAD GASKET IS FAULTY AND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS ONLY 70,000 MILES AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW, HAD BEEN WELL CARED FOR AND THE ONLY PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE FAULTY HEAD GASKET. *TR
