Consumer Description

MY CAR IS OVERHEATING EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULDN'T BE OVERHEATING AND I JUST FOUND OUT MY CAR WAS IN A RECALL BUT FOR SOME REASON EVEN THOUGH I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALLED ONES, IT'S SAYING MY VIN ISN'T IN RECALL WHICH ISN'T FAIR SINCE I AM DEALING WITH LITERALLY THE SAME ISSUE. LAST YEAR IT STARTED OVERHEATING AND MY HUSBAND AND I JUST STARTED CAR-POOLING WITH HIS CAR. A FEW MONTHS AGO EVERYTHING ON THE CAR GOT FIXED AND THE CAR WAS FINE UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO AFTER THEN IT WAS OVERHEATING AND SO NOW I HAVE TO RUN THE HEAT TO KEEP THE CAR FROM GETTING TOO HOT. I HAD A FEW PEOPLE LOOKING AT IT AND THEY CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY IT'S OVERHEATING LIKE THAT BECAUSE THE COOLANT FLUIDS ARE MOVING AND EVERYTHING BUT THERE IS NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY IT IS STILL GETTING HOT. SOMEONE SUGGESTED I LOOK INTO A RECALL AND NOW I AM BUT IT'S SAYING THAT MY MODEL WASN'T AFFECTED, WHICH CLEARLY IS AFFECTED.
