Example complaints
Engine cooling: “(1) driving normally down the road, suddenly (2) the car had no power (could not accelerate, it felt like the power steering and power brakes were gone), but the engine appeared to be running (I could step on the accelerator pedal and change the engine rpms), but didn't generate any power (improper air/fuel ratio?). Once I took my foot off the accelerator, the engine stalled. (3) I pulled over to the side of the road and turned the car off. If I started the car normally, it would turn over, but not start--it acted like it was flooded. …”
