| Vehicle was serviced about 2 yrs ago because it started losing power and was running rough. the power window on driver side stopped functioning. brakes grind when wet even though they have been replaced. noticed around this time that the car temperature gauge sometimes creeped up above normal. it seemed to be losing anti-freeze. the heater stopped working. i refilled the anti-freeze. it seemed to take care of the problem but it slowly returned. vehicle was also very slowly losing oil. last month (10/02) i started home from work. the car suddenly overheated. strong fumes came into through the vents, burning my eyes. i had to stop repeatedly to let the car cool so that i could get home. i work only 3 miles from home. when i got home, the oil stick contained oil halfway up the stick. started over flowing from the oil cap when i restarted. smoke was heavy from the back. had someone check the car. the car is not functionable. will not turn over. replaced the starter but didn't help. there is oil in the radiator, water in the oil. seems to be fuel in the anti-freeze. appears to be a blown head gasket or more. have found out that this make and model year was recalled for motor problems previously paralleling these same problems. dt | |||
