Buick dead again???

Post by Ryan from Ohio »

:sad017:

Thermostat stuck closed on Thanksgiving. Giving her a little time to cool off it seemed to work flawlessly again...

Then this morning...

Stuck on me again. THis time it didnt unstick itself...

Overheated to the point where I pulled over to let it cool 3 times. The third time was forced as the car stalled...

It started back up after 10 minutes of rest. The motor made a kocking noise, the belt squelled a bit and some other unidentifiable noise from the transmission area towards the passenger tire... The car then stalled as I glided into a parking lot at a pretty much abandonded strip mall...

The Buick wont start... It makes weird noises when it turns over...

I think its REALLY DEAD... And I just put $900 into it weeks ago...

GM = General Maintenance

The only thing $300 will get you is a beater truck. You never know, though, I've seen many beater trucks last a LONG time.
