Consumer Description

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD - HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 5 HOURS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN OUR CAR JUST STOPPED - WE WERE CLOSE TO A REST AREA AND WAS ABLE TO COAST IN AND THEN WE WERE TOWED. OUR VEHICLE ONLY HAD 90,000 MILES ON IT AND AFTER GOING TO 4 SHOPS IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS IN DEED THE ENGINE SO WE HAD TO GET A NEW ENGINE. WE WERE TOLD THAT WE SHOULD HAVE HAD SIGNS LIKE OVERHEATING BUT WE HAD NONE - THEN WE WERE TOLD THAT WITH THIS CAR - THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE NEVER GOES OVER HALF SO WE WERE MISLEAD.
