A head gasket leak caused exhaust to enter the cooling system. The upper radiator hose could not handle the pressure and blew up, covering everything under the hood with coolant. Fortunately, I was moving at only a few miles per hour inside a parking lot at the time and was able to park safely.

I am on disability and this was the only car I had. The mileage was of one that should have lasted me for the rest of my life. I am 60 years old and I was not planned on buying a car. Also I pick my grand kids up from the bus stop with that car, now I have to rent a car to do that. Their needs to be a class action suit out on these cars because there's a lot of stuff going on under the hood of these cars with just a small amount of mileage.

Worst Car Ever....Purchased this car new, pistons issues early on, that was still under warranty, should have traded this crap in then!
