Consumer Description

MY HEAT ALL OF A SUDDEN STOP BLOWING HOT OR EVEN WARM. I AM UNABLE TO DEFROST MY CAR IN THE VEHICLE OR KEEP MY CHILDREN AND I WARM AND I AM EXPECTING A INFANT ANY DAY. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS FROM CASING SAND CLOGGING THE RADIATOR, HEATER CORE AND THE OIL COOLER. THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. A FLUSH OF THE RADIATOR AND HEATER CORE WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE. THE COST IS $1200 AND I DON'T THAT KIND OF MONEY RIGHT NOW AND IT IS TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM GOING TO DO THIS WINTER.
