Consumer Description

A MONTH AGO WE FILLED THE COOLANT UP AFTER NOTICING IT WAS LOW. LAST WEEK WHEN I STARTED IT UP IT IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF. I STARTED IT UP AGAIN AND IT ONLY STAYED RUNNING IF I GAVE IT SOME GAS. DROVE IT ABOUT 2 MILES AND WHEN I ARRIVED BACK HOME I GOT THE WARNING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT THEN KILLED ALL THE POWER TO THE VEHICLE. STATED IT WAS OVERHEATING. THE RESERVOIR WAS ALMOST EMPTY OF COOLANT. FILLED IT BACK UP AND THE MESSAGES WERE GONE. DROVE IT TO GET THE CODES PULLED. SEE PICTURE. WAITING TO HEAR BACK ABOUT WHAT IT MAY BE BUT THE MECHANIC SEEMED TO THINK IT'S THE HEAD GASKET. ONLY 90K MILES ARE YOU KIDDING?
