1 Vehicle Overheat problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2024

The car kept overheating after I purchased it earlier this year. They had to replace the motor. I had to pay out of pocket and the insurance I added on covered most of it for a used motor to be installed. The dealer never fixed the recall on the locks which the doors opened when I came to a stop. If my grandkid or dogs were in there they could have fell out and got hurt.
