Consumer Description

CAR KEPT RUNNING HOT AND NO REMEDY WAS FOUND FOR IT. BATTERIES AND OTHER REPAIRS WERE DONE CONCERNING THE ELECTRICAL THINGS; BUT THE CAR RUNNING HOT WAS NEVER RESOLVED EVEN WITH REPLACING THE THERMOSTAT ETC. I COULD ONLY DRIVE ABOUT A BLOCK AND THE CHECK COOLING SYSTEM ERROR CAME ON AND THE CAR SPEED WOULD AUTOMATICALLY SLOW DOWN AND THE ENGINE WOULD AUTOMATICALLY CUT OFF IF YOU CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT WHILE HOT....SMOKE FROM THE HOOD ETC. WOULD HAPPEN. COULD FEEL INTENSE HEAT WHEN RAISED THE HOOD. IF THE CAR WAS STATIONARY....AFTER RUNNING FOR A WHILE IT WOULD STILL RUN HOT AND EVENTUALLY THE HOT LIGHT WOULD COME ON IN THE INSIDE WARNING PANEL. THE LAST MECHANIC TOOK IT APART AND NEVER PUT IT BACK TOGETHER, NEITHER FIXED THE CAR RUNNING HOT PROBLEM. THE UPLOADED FILES AND PICTURES WILL SHOW THE CONDITION MY CAR WAS LEFT IN AND THE AUTO PARTS TAKEN ALOOSE/APART AND NOT RECONNECTED.
