Consumer Description

I WAS TOLD BY KOONS THAT THE HEAD WAS CRACKED BE EITHER A FAILED THERMOSTAT, GASKET OR A WATER PUMP (ALL REPLACED BY KOONS IN APRIL 2000). ONCE THEY FOUND OUT THE REPLACED ALL THESE ITEMS - THEIR STORY CHANGED TO A THOUSAND OTHER EXCUSES. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A 5 YEAR OLD CAR WITH THE PROPER MAINTENANCE BEING DONE TO IT CAN BLOW AN ENGINE THAT EASILY. SOMETHING FAILED TO MAKE THE CAR OVERHEAT AND CRACK THE HEAD.
