Brought car in because heater was not working. They performed coolant flush. was still in parking lot and heat still not working. They took it back in. Heat worked intermittently over next few days. Before we could bring back, warning for engine coolant light flashed a few times, then went out. Drove it under 25 mph directly to service.
Told there was a leak at the cylinder and would have to replace the engine.
Car is brought to dealer service for regular maintenance religiously. Should this have been picked up earlier before the (severe) damage was done?
