Consumer Description

The Cooling System Failed as I was on 485 interstate in traffic and it almost caused a serious accident, as the speed limit was 70 in that area I was almost rear ended due to the car idling down suddenly with the OVER HEAT WARNING flashing. It is available for inspection upon request. I start the car sometimes and instantly OVER HEAT WARNING appears on dash. The problem has not been fixed by dealer, I've had multiple mechanics replace new parts an still resulting in same issue OVER HEATING, I must add the car isn't OVER Heating it's a false reading but I can not drive the car in a safe manner if it continues to do this while in traffic at high rates of speed, very very dangerous other drivers are not aware of the sudden change of speed when this issue happens. There were no PRE WARNINGS, issue started back in February 2023, it is now May 31, 2023. I'm still making payments on this vehicle monthly, I'm not able to enjoy the car in a safe manner because of this ongoing issue, I really could use some HELP with this issue as my safety and the safety of other drivers are the main focus here. Thank You, please be in touch.
