Consumer Description

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR GAVE ME WARNING THAT COOLANT SYSTEM WAS OVERHEATING, THEN CAR STARTED TO AUTO SLOW DOWN UNTIL A COMPLETE STOP ON A PUBLIC ROADWAY. CHECK ENGINE CODE CAME BACK FOR CYLINDER MISFIRE. HAD SPARK PLUGS AND COIL CHANGED BY MECHANIC, AS WELL AS REFILLED ENGINE COOLANT. NEXT DAY, TURN CAR ON AND WHITE SMOKE BILLOWS OUT OF EXHAUST AND ENGINE SHUDDERS, THEN DIES, LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A COOLANT LEAK IN THE CYLINDERS. TOOK IT BACK TO MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND AN EXTERIOR COOLANT LEAK AFTER RUNNING TESTS. NEXT DAY, COOLANT LEVEL DROPS BELOW MINIMUM AFTER BEING FULL THE DAY BEFORE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, THERE IS LIKELY AN INTERIOR ENGINE COOLANT LEAK.
