I took the car in because there wasn't any heat, and no heat in November in Maine is not a good thing. They tried 4 thermostats, new water pump and finally they had to replace the head gasket to get the #$%^& car to keep heat. I can't believe this is happening to me!!! Two weeks with a rental car, thankfully the garage was paying for it, but Thursday 2-2-06, the water pump went again...Guess why??????? Because the brace that holds the water pump, that is part of the block, CRACKED!!!! Thus moving the water pump ever so slightly so the fins broke and the car overheated. I can't win with this POS!!
