Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY CAR STARTED TO OVERHEAT SO I PULLED OVER AND LET IT COOL DOWN. AFTER ADDING MORE COOLANT TO IT I STARTED TO DRIVE IT HOME ONLY TO HAVE IT START TO OVERHEAT AGAIN, SO PARKED IT AT A NEARBY SCHOOL AND LEFT IT OVER NIGHT. UPON GETTING IT THE NEXT MORNING IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND I DROVE IT HOME, WHEN I WENT TO GO START IT AGAIN IT WOULDN'T START. AFTER CALLING MY MECHANIC AND HAVING HIM LOOK AT IT HE INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS WATER IN THE EXHAUST AND I WOULD HAVE TO GET A NEW MOTOR. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON HERE FOR THE SAME OR SIMILAR THING, IT MAKES ME WONDER WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THESE SYSTEMS IN THIS PARTICULAR CAR? *TR
