The one they installed went bad after 10 days also and so did the following one after 90 days. The last one went bad just before the warranty went up and now I keep a spare and change it about one every couple of years.”
NHTSA complaint #10478719, filed 2012-10, 1,000 miles“My 2000 Mustang Gt overheated while I was driving back home, on a ten mile journey a couple days ago.

My car is my only transportation. Now I'm not sure what to do. Because I used all my money to buy this car. …”
