Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE QUIT DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. IT WOULD ONLY IDLE WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY RADIATOR HAD AN INTERNAL LEAK AND THE COOLANT WAS MIXING WITH MY TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION TO SHUT DOWN. I WAS NOTIFIED WHEN SEARCHING FOR A RADIATOR, THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLES AND IS DOCUMENTED WITH COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. I AM CURRENTLY A NURSING STUDENT, AND I DO NOT THINK IT IS FAIR THAT I MUST PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT ARE NOT MY FAULT WHEN I AM NOT ABLE TO AFFORD THEM. THIS HAS BEEN AN EXTREMELY COSTLY REPAIR AND I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO TAKE OUT A LOAN TO GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED SO I WILL HAVE TRANSPORTATION TO SCHOOL. *TR
