Consumer Description

THE ENGINE WAS 'NOT RIGHT' ONE DAY SO THE HOOD WAS OPENED IN THE BANK PARKING LOT AND IT APPEARED TO BE OVERHEATED. THE TEMPERATURE GAGE DID NOT INDICATE THIS BUT THE RADIATOR WAS INDEED WITHOUT WATER. THE RADIATOR WAS FILLED AND LATER CHECKED OUT AT THE SHOP. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TEMPERATURE GAGE WAS NOT ACCURATE AND AN EXTERNAL GAGE WAS ADDED (A SEPARATE GAGE NOT PART OF THE DASHBOARD). THE ENGINE WAS NEVER THE SAME AND HAS SINCE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (WITH A REMANUFACTURED) DUE TO BEING OVERHEATED. THIS WAS PREVENTABLE IF THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR HAD BEEN OPERATING PROPERLY. IT WAS NOT BROKEN (IE REGISTERED ZERO ALL THE TIME), IT WAS . . BAD OR WRONG SENSOR FOR THE GAGE? DON'T KNOW REALLY. THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 90000 MILES.
