Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT I HAVE A CRACKED HEAD IN THE CYLINDER. THE CAR HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR, IT HAS NEVER OVERHEATED. WE HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES EIGHT TIMES. COULD THERE BE APOSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE SINCE THE CAR HAS NEVER OVERHEATED. THE MECHANIC THOUGHT I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH A CRACKED HEAD. THIS CAR WAS A DEMO MODEL FROM THE DEALERSHIP
