ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THIS PROBLEM SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN MODERN CARS. MY CAR IS ONLY A YEAR OLD. I KNOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS FOUND THIS MALFUNCTION AS SURPRISING! THE DEALER PROBABLY WILL NEVER OWN THEIR RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS MATTER. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE ALL PERCUSSION TO INSURE SATISFACTION. I WOULDN'T EVEN MIND IF THEY WOULD AGREE TO RELEASING ME FROM ANY OBLIGATIONS. THEY CAN HAVE THE CAR BACK!
