Consumer Description

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AFTER A WEEK OF DRIVING I SAY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IT WAS AN ENGINE MISFIRE ON #3 SO I BOUGHT SPARK PLUGS AND A NEW COIL, I INSTALLED IT, AND IT DROVE HOME FINE. THEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE, WHO MISSED IT WAS LOW ON COOLANT, A MESSAGE CAME UP SAYING LOW COOLANT THE NEXT DAY. I THEN KEPT GOING BETWEEN LOW COOLANT AND CHECK ENGINE UNTIL WHITE SMOKE CAME OUT THE TAIL PIPE AND THE CAR STARTED CUTTING OFF. FYI BOUGHT ALL MY PARTS FROM THE DEALER SPARK PLUGS, COIL, COOLANT, AND I TRIED TO ADDRESS EVERYTHING RIGHT AWAY.
