Consumer Description

DEALER SAID OVERHEAT WAS DUE TO FAULTY THERMOSTAT (2ND TIME). SUGGESTED FLUSHING THE SYSTEM EVERY 30,000 MILES TO CLEAN THE SYSTEM. WHEN IT OVERHEATED THE FIRST TIME THERE WAS AND STILL IS LESS THEN 30,000 MILES ON THE VECHILE. THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT ON MAY 24, 2000. TODAY IS MAY 9, 2000. I WOULD LIKE THE PROBLEM RESLOVED AND GUATANTEED FOR A WHILE. *AK
