Consumer Description

AFTER MY 2010 ACADIA SAT IN A HOTEL PARKING LOT FOR 19 HOURS AFTER A DRIVE FROM SAN DIEGO TO KANSAS CITY, IT OVERHEATED THE MINUTE I STARTED IT. THE AIR STARTED BLOWING WARM AIR, IT STATED "POWERING DOWN ENGINE", & THE TEMP GAGE MAXED OUT. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE CAR. AT LESS THAN 36K ON A CAR THAT HAS BEEN DRIVEN MINIMALLY, THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. AND NOW.... SINCE IT IS "OVER 3 YEARS OLD", IT'S PROBABLY NOT COVERED. $40K VEHICLE WITH 30K MILES ON IT AND ALREADY OVERHEATING? WE HAD OUR VEHICLE FOR THE LAST 2.5 YEARS IN HAWAII, SO IT'S NOT A CLIMATE PROBLEM. :-/ *TR
