Consumer Description

UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION THE VEHICLE GOT REAL HOT AND OVERHEATED.THE WATER AND OIL WHERE AT THE PROPER LEVELS. THIS HAPPENED ON THE WAY HOME, I WAS GOING AROUND 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACE, AS IT CRACKED THE HEAD OR BLEW THE HEAD GASKET. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL # 17S09 OUT ON THESE VEHICLES, BUT MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE LIST. YET WE ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE. THIS IS THE 3RD ENGINE WE HAVE LOST TO THIS OVER HEATING PROBLEM. LUCKILY WE CATCH ANY ON FIRE.
