MY CAR JUST AUTOMATICALLY SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT CRANK BACK UP. ONCE LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD I SAW THERE WAS NO COOLANT AND HOW IT HAD BEEN LEAKING AROUND THE VALVE. I REPLACED THE COOLANT THEN WENT INTO HAVE MY CAR SERVICED EVERY 3 MTHS AS USUAL. THE MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT HES NOTICED SEVERAL CHARGERS WITH THE SAME COOLANT LEAK IN THE VALVES. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECT TO ME. *TT
