Consumer Description

The engine failed causing driving to be erratic due to engine surges and loss of power. This created safety issues for myself and others. Called to get serviced June 15 and the next available appointment was July 7. The car went out of warranty between June 15 and July 7. Dealer confirmed that the engine needed to be replaced because the radiator fluid was leaking into it. The check engine light came on, went to AutoZone and they referred me to dealer resulting in the June 15 call.
