Example complaints

“There have been 4 incidents. The first time the heator core went out and antifreeze poured into the passenger side floor. I had two inchs of antifreeze on the floor and if I had a passenger they would have been burned by the hot antifreeze. The second time the heater core went out the same thing happened. The 3rd time it was the radiator supposedly caused by stress from the heator core and the 4th time it was the radiator with a hole on the backside. I feel the continously breakdown has caused undue stress on the vehicle and is subject to a major engine breakdown at any time.”
