Heating gauge would go to top. Engine would overheat. Engine became damaged due to driving while it had overheated. Took to dealer & informed by mechanic vehicle out of warranty. Took to private mechanic & informed consumer that engine needed to be replaced. Currently, problem is still overheating & stalling out. Oil was found in the head gasket because the cause for vehicle's radiator failure and fuel pump malfunctioning was not known, the customer replaced the radiator.

Either manufactururer's defect or the dealer withheld information about the car! dealer and manufacturer refused to hand over previous service records of the car (from past owner). Low miles and exceptional care given to car by me, does not equal new engine and radiator.
