This car is no longer drivable because it will start to over heat a mile down the road. This problem has occurred in the past but got if fixed. The other night we went out and drove about 5 miles to our house when we heard a loud popping noise. it was the coolant, the coolant container exploded into steam. we are selling this right away!!!

Over heated on one of the coldest days of the year ironically.Late to an appointment. Put anti-freeze in. was okay after that. I know for a fact that it has to do with the intake manifold gasket. There was no anti-freeze in car when pored it in.

Engine overheating, checked thermostat ok. Gets air gaps in the coolant, this can be felt by the interior heating blowing cold air when the engine starts to heat up. I also got code 302 -cyl.2 missfire, that leads to a leak of air from cyl 2 into coolant. It's a terrible engine to work on, designed "not to be repaired", not even maintained, They should shoot the designers, terrible access to any basic parts, like thermostat, spark plugs, air filter, etc.
