Water pump problems causing car to overheat and leak constantly.
Since we bought this car the check engine light has come on every few months. The engine has been rebuilt to fix "a stuck cylinder" and the water pump had to be replaced. The check engine light is on again and it seems that the car has no pick up when the gas pedal is pushed. It seems to hesitate. This is the worst care I have ever owned.
