Example complaints

“When I drove my car to work it seemed fine. When I got into the car after work I idled really rough I thought it was the more expensive gas I put into it the night before, so I proceeded to the gas station to let them know. The car drove really rough all the way there. A red light came on on the dash just before I got to the gas station saying check gauges. The gauge showed that the car overheated. After having my car worked on about eight months ago for a overheating problem, it had been running really cool, so didn't think I would have a overheating problem. …”
