Engine overheating by model year
What owners say
Starting at around 50,000 miles my vehicle has constant problems with the engine over heating. I bought it into the shop in august for this problem. They replaced some clamp and said that was the problem. In september the car was overheating again. I noticed the coolant was very low so I filled it and that seemed to work. Then in october the engine too hot light came on, again. I brought it back to the shop. They replaced the radiator cap and said that was the problem. Then one week later the engine light comes on for a cylinder 2 miss fire. I get that repaired and then the very same day the engine too hot light comes on. Refill the coolant again. There does not appear to be a leak and no one can seem to find any internal problems or signs of internal leaking yet the car just keeps over heating and now its just a guessing game as to when it happens again. Every time it has happened it has been at different amounts of movement. The first time I was stationary. The second time I was going slow. The third time was on the highway.
Care starts overheating while the coolant is full and all other components are working. I have taken my vehicle to be repaired multiple times for the overheating and there is no sign of damage to be repaired. Also occasionally the oil seems to disappear from the engine with no leak or visible damage.. Car will occasionally stall out as well while I am driving. The car is in the shop and no one can tell me what is wrong with it. I have been driving 3 times and the car will turn off which is dangerous. The drive is extremely rough and is very uncomfortable it bangs really loud with any small bump. Car has a bunch of flaws and I have had it less than 2 years.
"the basic of the issue are shifting roughly, over-revving before shifting, failing to shift, making a grinding noise on take off, running rough, exhibiting a burning smell, smoking and overheating." dash light comes on randomly when in traffic on my commute home from work "transmission getting hot press brake" and the car will start to smoke.
