Consumer Description

HAD THE COOLANT RESERVOIR CRACK TWICE, VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND THEN THE PART WAS REPLACED RIGHT AWAY. AFTER THE SECOND TIME I ASKED IF THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES I WAS TOLD IT WAS AND THAT THEY ARE CONSTANTLY REORDERING THESE PARTS. NOT EVEN 2 MONTHS LATER I TOOK IT IS BECAUSE IT HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS 2 BAD SENSORS, I TOOK IT IN TO GET REPAIRED AND THEN THEY TOLD ME MY MOTOR WAS SHOT.
