Consumer Description

CAR CONTINUES TO LOSE COOLANT AND OVERHEAT. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR 6 MONTHS WITH NO LUCK ON A SOLUTION. TWO DIFFERENT SHOPS HAVE SAID THE RADIATOR AND THERMOSTAT IS FINE. WE THOUGHT WE HAD IT FIXED THIS LAST TIME IN THE SHOP, THE SEAL IN THE RESERVOIR TANK HAD AN AIR BUBBLE IN IT, BUT 6 DAYS INTO HAVING IT HOME THE COOLANT LEVEL LIGHT CAME IN ONCE AGAIN. I AM AT A LOST AND OUT OF FUNDS TO CONTINUE TO PUT IT IN THE SHOP. THE ISSUE ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION, WILL GET AN OVERHEATING WARNING AND TEMPERATURE WILL GO FROM NORMAL TO OVERHEATED WITHIN SEXONDS AND CAR WILL GO INTO LIMP MODE
