I took it back to the dealership and all they could find was a valve cover gasket leak. The engine coolant warning light started reappearing with leakage issues again and the vehicle began losing power and cutting off about 2 months ago. Continued to have the same issue with coolant, had to get the water pump replaced at the dealership last may. The vehicle has run hot twice causing the engine to shut down on me, once on my way to work and once when taking my son to the doctor. First the engine coolant and engine light kept coming on with no noticeable leak, had it checked at auto zone was told it was the engine coolant bypass valve, had it replaced. I bought it used about 6 years ago and it has been problematic from the start. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000. The vehicle had yet to be deemed a total loss. The contact was informed that the hose was replaced and that the failure was remedied. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where an unknown hose had burst which led to the over heating failure. The contact stated that those same warning lights had flashed two months prior to the failure.
The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet be notified of the failure. The vehicle remained at the scene and had yet to be towed. No injuries were reported and a police report was filed. The fire department later arrived and managed to fully extinguished the fire. The occupants inside the vehicle exited as the police officers who happened to be on scene were able to suppress the fire with fire extinguishers. The contact opened the hood and saw that a flame had ignited inside the engine. The contact pulled into a parking lot as white smoke began to fill the engine cabin. The contact stated that while driving at 35 mph, both a check engine light and a warning message instructing her to pull over immediately appeared on the instrument panel.
