Consumer Description
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. IT ALSO WILL LEAK COOLANT SOMETIMES IM ABLE TO SEE THE PUDDLE UNDER THE CAR PARKED BUT SOMETIMES NO PUDDLE WHICH MEANS ITS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ALSO WILL GO HAYWIRE AND SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING THE NEEDLES WILL FALL TO THE BOTTOM SHOOT TO THE TOP AND IT WILL HAVE AN ENGINE WARMING AND SOMETIMES JUST SHUTS OFF ALL TOGETHER EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL MECHANICALLY ON AND RUNNING. THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS THAT ALL COVER THESE ISSUES IM HAVING HOWEVER MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED IN THE EFFECTED VEHICLES. THESE ISSUES HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING IN ANY CAPACITY OR PARKED. IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY THE FREEWAY THE SIDE STREETS WHILE PARKED WHILE MOVING SLOWLY. IT HAS BECOME AN ISSUE THAT IM WORRIED TO DEAL WITH BECAUSE I DONT HAVE THE FUNDS TO FIX THE CAR BUT THE CAR IS SO UNSAFE IM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MESSING UP IF ITS NEEDED.
