Consumer Description

FROM A STOP I ACCELERATED IN A STRAIGHT LINE ONTO A FREEWAY ON-RAMP. APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS LATER I NOTICED A SQUEALING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE BELTS. I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND NOTICED A LARGE VOLUME OF STEAM COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. HAVING READ ABOUT OTHER PEOPLES EXPERIENCES WITH THIS ISSUE I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE FREEWAY AS SOON AS I WAS ABLE, STOPPED THE CAR, AND TURNED IT OFF TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE AS ALL COOLANT HAD EXITED THE VEHICLE.
