There out was that I continued to drive the vehicle after it got hot.
Here is what happened.
I got in the vehicle and drove it, I noticed the heater wasn't blowing any hot air. I reached down to turn the heat up, but it's already up. I look down and the thermostat is still on "C". The check engine light is on though.
I pull over and she stalled and never lit again.
At that moment, I felt the hoses and they were cool and with no pressure. The next day I check the radiator and it has water to the top.
I checked the oil, no water in the oil.
They said that they would replace the head gasket but my continuing to drive while hot is not covered and my negligence.
I'm not that stupid as to drive it while it's hot.
They made the dealership do a complete teardown. Dealership said that was $1,800 and I suspect they only did a half arse teardown for the Easy Car adjusters to look at.
If I would have seen a hot temp gauge, she would have been off before it stopped rolling.
The $5,900 from the dealership was for a teardown and a complete used motor.
