Consumer received recall 00V287, however when contacting dealer they stated that parts were not available, failure resulted in voltage regulater failure, consumer is requesting reimbursement for that replacement cost. Radiator failed and was replaced, head gaskets failed and engine was rebuilt.

The thermostat went to the half and all of the coolant poured out of the car and the oil and water mixed. There was no warning. This was the first and only time that the car had overheated.
