thermostat housing cracked.

[hecoon]

I just completed a 2414 mile trip( 8 days) to the ozark mts during the memorial week.

just as I was about 5 miles from home the engine overheat code came on and it went into limp home mode and smelled really hot.

I let it cool down and put in some coolant. it all ran out on the ground.

after a tow to my mech he found the thermostat housing had about a 2' crack in the plastic.

its got 71k on it so i guess i am lucky not to have had any more problems with it.

the dealer said that it was the first one he had seen that failed.

Glad you didn't get stranded . There has been a few posts with cracked coolant tanks .
