| Description of the problem | I would be driving, and my temperature gauge would slowly creep over to hot, temp over heating.. I noticed as i slowed down my car wanted to stall, it would putt putt putt until i gave it a go as if it was misfiring, and slowly the temperature gauge would go back to normal. Honestly not thinking anything of it, i went home, dropped the groceries off and proceeded back to my car to pick my son up from school. I started my car, it stalled, i started it again, it stalled, extremely worried i was praying third time a charm.. As i started it the third time it started with much hesitation and did the same stuttering as if it was misfiring again. I proceeded to my sons school, watching the temperature gauge creep right back up to hot. When i got there i checked the hood, no steam, nothing seemed hot, and the coolant level was still full. When we went to leave it refused to start. Long story short, i have been without my car for a month now, and after spending 1000's of dollars to fix the situation, the mechanic cant for certain put his hand on it. Everything he does, leads to him thinking something else, and leads to the problem becoming an engine overhaul. Has anyone else had this over heating issue, and the misfiring of the car, as if it stalls while driving? Please, i have contacted chrysler, i am at my wits end. |
