| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The lights , check engine and the temperature gauges i felt do not work properly. the engine was getting hot and overheating, cutting out dying and the check engine light never came on. then the temp guage never bobbled or moved until the car tried to die at 45 mph. then it bobbled, just slightly then went back to normal. the radiator was fried dried. and the piston rings are fried and toast and i had absolutely no warning. i had the car towed to the shop, they changed the radiator and advised me of the transmission problem which i knew nothing of and the piston rings. if i just replace the piston rings, in about a 3 months i will have to do the bottom half of the engine. i can not afford to do that. the idiot lights and gauges should have been recalled. dt |
