Consumer Description

WE NOTICED WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE CAR SO WE TOOK IT INTO OUR MECHANIC WHO TOLD US THAT COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. HE NOTED THAT UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THAT YEAR MODEL AND REPAIRING IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY COSTLY. WE WERE TOLD WE SHOULD NOT DRIVE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE THE ENGINE COULD QUIT ON US AT ANYTIME. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE CRANK CASE DIPSTICK AND THE RADIATOR, BOTH WERE CONTAMINATED WITH RUST.AT THIS POINT IT WAS DETERMINED THAT WE COULD NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR. .
