Consumer Description

COOLANT PIPE EXPERIENCED CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHILE ON A PUBLIC ROADWAY. WAS TRAVELING ON STRAIGHT, SMOOTH ROAD ABOUT 55-60MPH WHEN COOLANT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND ENGINE TEMPERATURE ROSE WITHOUT WARNING. I HAD NO WHERE TO PULL OVER ON THE TWO-LANE ROAD, SO WAS FORCED TO STOP CAR IN LANE, PUTTING MYSELF AND FAMILY AT RISK OF BEING HIT BY TRAFFIC WHILE WE WAITED 4 HOURS FOR A TOW.
