Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On september 1, 2007, i had been driving on the highway at approximately 60 mph for approximately 15 miles when the air conditioning suddenly began blowing hot air and the temperature gauge went above "h" immediately. i turned the air conditioning off, exited the highway immediately, stopped the car, and attempted to restart the car to remedy the problem, but when the vehicle was restarted the car was still past the "h" on the temperature gauge. i drove the vehicle to the first repair shop, and they discovered that the bottom half of my radiator had disintegrated and fallen off the bottom of my car, along with all of the coolant and other necessary parts. the radiator, thermostat, and coolant all have to be replaced. the mechanics stated that they have never seen anything like this happen to a car that wasn't at least 15 years old. my vehicle is a 2004 that i purchased in march 2004. *tr
