Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: First, the car began with overheating. i had to continually replace the coolant to keep the car from overheating. it would not leak out of the car. upon visual inspection the leak from the coolant did not leak out of the vehicle. the vehicle finally failed after driving. the temperature gauge reached a high level and the vehicle shut off. the vehicle was clearly overheated with again the coolant levels low. was repair began, it was found that the all the gaskets within the engine had blown. this caused water and coolant to leak into the engine. causing the engine to work more due to the build up and causing overheating. this also caused the water to leak out of the intake manifold. finally a build needed to be flushed out of all the hoses and engine itself. a build up mixture of water and oil. *jb |
