Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AFTER A LEAK RECALL WAS MADE. WE TOOK THE CAR AND HAD THE NECESSARY RECALL DONE. HOWEVER THE ENGINE STALLED THE CAR AND NOW WE HAVE TO SHELL OUT $6,000 FOR A NEW ENGINE DUE TO A CRACKED BLOCK. SINCE WE ALREADY TOOK THE CAR TO GET A LEAK RECALL ISSUE FIXED, WE ARE AFRAID THE NEW ENGINE WILL GET OVERHEATED AGAIN AND THE CAR WILL STALL. ALSO, WE WOULD HAVE TO SHELL OUT MORE MONEY FOR ANOTHER ENGINE.
