Description of the problem | The engine head gasket cracked and the anti-freeze went into the motor and the vehicle stopped running on mother's day. Previously, the vehicle had no power and anti-freeze was seen coming from the exhaust. The consumer could not drive the vehicle so he had it towed to the dealer who told the consumer that he had a cracked engine head and it would cost the consumer approximately $2000. 00 because there was no recall on the problem. *ak *sc *jb |
