DT: THE VEHICLE IS A 1995 CHRYSLER CIRRUS, WHEN THE CONSUMER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT DID NOT HAVE A THERMOSTAT. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE RAN HOT SHE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD HER THERE WAS NO THERMOSTAT. EVERY TIME SHE MOVED THE VEHICLE SHE WOULD HAVE TO ADD WATER AND ANTIFREEZE. BECAUSE THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE HOSE. ON 7-16-05, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 50 MPH THEN THE SPEED STARTED DROPPING. CONSUMER PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD .SHE PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT THE IGNITION OFF. SHE TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN THEN IT MADE A WINDING NOISE, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. AFTERWARDS THERE WAS STEAM COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. SHE CONTACTED THE TOW SERVICE, WHICH TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REFUSED TO FIX VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED AT CONSUMER'S HOME BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT GET ANY OF THE MECHANICS TO REPAIR IT. *AK
