Description of the problem | The thermostat housing broke from the engine block and burst through the plastic housing. I was on the freeway coming home from work when steam began pouring out the exhaust and from under my hood. Last year, a plastic bolt on the engine broke and sent two rods through the manifold; i got a new engine. I would think twice about this car. |
