Consumer Description

I HAVE A VERY STRONG COOLANT SMELL INSIDE THE CAR WHEN HEAT IS ON AND A STRONG COOLANT SMELL OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. I BROUGHT IT IN TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY DETERMINED THE WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING AND THEY REPLACED IT. I'VE HAD MY CAR BACK FOR A WEEK NOW AND AGAIN I HAVE THE STRONG COOLANT SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF MY CAR. THE SMELL IS ACTUALLY MAKING ME NAUSEOUS. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW NOT GOING DOWN. I'VE HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. MY FINAL ISSUE I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING IS MY VEHICLE DOES NOT SHIFT RIGHT. I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND SOMETIMES IT SHIFTS VERY HARD OUT OF FIRST AND INTO TO SECOND GEAR, THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S JERKING. OTHER TIMES MY CAR HESITATES WHILE SHIFTING GEARS. I HAVE NOT BROUGHT IT IN FOR THAT ISSUE YET BUT I WILL BE BRINGING IT IN THIS WEEK. *TR
