While driving about any mph engine will ove heat without a prior warning. Consumer has to stop and refill radiator with anti-freeze, and engine will cool down, then could keep driving.

Temperature gauge didn't work all the time. Car overheated, took car to pep boys they couldn't find anything wrong, paid for radiator service. About 5 days later car overheated and blew a head gasket. Towed car home. 2000 miles over warrant. What to do?
