Example complaints
Engine: “In 2016, the low engine coolant warning light came on in my car. I took it to the dealer and they tested it for a leak, didn't find one, so just topped off the fluid. Three months later, happened again. Took the car in and they did a quick pressure test and didn't find a leak. This was an ongoing problem and at one point, the dealer replaced a water pump to fix the problem. Still, the light would come back on. In november of 2018, low engine coolant light came on while I was driving and my engine overheated right then, while I was driving. …”
