Consumer Description

OUR PT CRUISER OVERHEATED ONE DAY AFTER MY WIFE HAD LEFT WORK, THANKFULLY SHE MADE IT HOME BEFORE IT GOT WORSE. I HAVE REPLACED ALL COMPONENTS KNOWN TO CAUSE OVERHEATING PROBLEMS SUCH AS THERMOSTAT, RADIATOR, SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES, WATER HEATER, FLUSHED THE BLOCK OUT, EVEN CHANGED THE TEMP SENSOR. I HAVE ALSO CHECKED ALL THE HOSES AND GAVE IT AN OIL CHANGE AND YET IT STILL OVER HEATS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.
