Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN FEBRUARY 2017. SOON AFTER PURCHASING THIS (USED) I BEGAN LOSING ENGINE COOLANT RAPIDLY AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GET WARM WHEN I HAD THE HEAT ON. ALSO, BLUE SMOKE WOULD COME FROM THE EXHAUST. I HAVE TAKEN TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW FOR A LOOK-OVER AND THEY SAID THIS LOOKS LIKE A LEMON CAR. WELL, UPON RESEARCH, I SEE A RECALL WHICH MATCHES A LOT OF THE SYMPTOMS OF MY CARS ISSUES, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON MY VIN. I BELIEVE THAT WHATEVER IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE SAME ISSUE BEING RECALLED AND I NEED THIS INVESTIGATED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
