Consumer Description

PURCHASED MY 2010 JOURNEY MARCH 2017. A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE CONSTANT SHAKE IN STEERING WHEEL, BRAKES AND ROTORS CHANGED ALREADY, CONSTANT BATTLE WITH GETTING IT STARTED, WILL CLICK AND RADIO, LIGHTS , AND ALL WORK. SOMETIMES 5 MINUTES SOMETIMES AN HOUR BEFORE IT WILL START. BATTERY TESTER, ALT, AND STARTER CHECKED. ALL CLEAR, THEN TO ADD TO ASK IF THAT IT ALL OF THE SUDDEN STARTS OVER HEATING ABOUT 10 MINUTES UP THE ROAD. REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT, FLUSH THE LINES AND IT STOP OVER HEATS. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX ANY OF THIS AT THE SAME TIME! I HAVE 4 KIDS I NEED MY VEHICLE FIXED AND SAFE FOR THE ROAD ASAP.
