Consumer Description

I HAD JUST LEFT FOR WORK AND AFTER DRIVING FOR TWO MINUTES, THE ENGINE, COOLANT AND NAVIGATIONAL LIGHTS TURNED ON, AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DRIVE OVER 15 MPH. I RETURNED HOME, CHECKED, AND TOP OFF THE COOLANT LEVEL, WHICH WAS NOT VERY LOW AT ALL. RESET THE PANEL AND ONCE I STARTED TO PULL OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE, THE SAME LIGHTS TURNED ON. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. PLEASE REFER TO THE OTHER INCIDENTS I HAVE SUBMITTED, AFFECTING OTHER PARTS OF THIS CAR. *TR
