Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Car was losing coolant. dealer said i needed a new engine because the head gasket was leaking. they refused to replace the catalytic converter and blamed the engine overheat problem on the leaking gasket. engine is working fine. i do not want them to replace the head gasket because i can get it done by an ase certified mechanic for half the price and i do not trust them since they told me i needed a new engine. the catalytic converter is supposed to be covered by warranty up to 80k miles. i have 71k miles on the car. *nm
