Power Train problem

On Nov. 26, 2008 while driving on the freeway @ 70 mph, I experienced a catastrophic engine failure with virtually no advance warning and had to exit the freeway immediately. After costly towing and repair charges that I incurred from the Suzuki dealership, I was traveling on the freeway again and the engine failed for the exact same reason it had failed for previously. I was informed by the service dept. Of the Suzuki dealership that the cause of the engine failure was a broken thermostat. They supposedly replaced both heads, thermostat, and various other maintenance items were done as well. From the time I received my vehicle back from the dealership until the second engine failure was 6 days. I did receive copies of the repairs and services that they performed if you need them. Thank you.
