| 2001 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | DRIVING AND CAR JUST DIED WITH NO WARNING. ENGINE IS SEIZED. GETTING A HARD TIME FROM DEALERSHIP BECAUSE WE DO OUR OWN MAINTENANCE. REP APPROVED TAKING THE ENGINE APART TO SEE WHAT PROBLEM IS. DEALER PUT 3 GALLONS OF ANTIFREEZE IN AND IT WENT RIGHT OUT THE TAILPIPE. OIL CHANGED AND ANTIFREEZE CHECKED A WEEK BEFORE INCIDENT. WANT ME TO PAY $7 A DAY RENTAL AND PUT ME IN A RIO OR SPECTRA. I HAVE AN OPTIMA NOT A LITTLE MATCHBOX CAR. I SHOULD GET A FREE LOANER BECAUSE TOP TECH IS OUT AND IT MAY TAKE LONGER THAN USUAL TO DO REPAIRS, IF REPAIRS ARE APPROVED.*JB |
