Consumer Description
MY TAURUS JUST DIED ON ME, IT OVERHEATED AND I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I WAS ONLY A FEW BLOCKS FROM MY HOME SO I LET THE CAR COOL AS THE MANUAL SAYS TO DO AND THEN STARTED IT AGAIN. GOT TO MY HOUSE SHUT IT OFF AND THEN FIND OUT THAT FROM DRIVING THE CAR IT CAUSED THE ANTIFREEZE TO MIX WITH THE OIL AND NOW I HAVE A BAD ENGINE. THIS ALL BECAUSE THEY PUT A WATER PUMP IN AN ENGINE. KNOWING THIS THEY TELL YOU IN THE MANUAL YOU CAN DRIVE THE CAR WHEN IT'S COOLED AND PUT WATER IN IT IF NEEDED. THIS WILL RUIN YOUR ENGINE!
