Description of the problem	I was no the freeway and there is a lot of construction so there is no where to pull over the car got really hot. I was trying to get off the freeway as i was going on the off ramp the car temp all the sudden went red then engine had stopped. I had my girls in the car. They where very scared. Come to find out the head gasket went out for the second time. It went out just after i bought the car it was at 41000 mile now at 120000 it goes out again it is now going to cost me another $1700 to fix it. I have read a lot of complaints about this problem why have you not look in to this problem. Is it a safety problem these car heat up insteadly an the engine has a fail safe that shuts it off. If it would have shut off a few moments earlier i would have still been on the freeway and i would have been hit.
