| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Potential for fatalies was great as car just quit at 65 mph with no warning in the middle lane of a 3 lane interstate. this happened twice. both times head just blew apparently allowing water to be sucked out bottom of car circumventing sensors. radiator still had water in it.. no steam or indication car was hot. temperature gauge was reading normal both times. i had mulitple mechanics review car and no one can find problem. however both times water seaped into passenger side floor board. after rebuilding engine and then replacing engine when it happened again at 91,000 miles no one could explain why it happened or find a problem with cooling system or any other component..i fear to drive this car again not knowing what is causing it or when it will happen again. *ak |
