Extreme heat bent that thing, hydro lock, does that, LOCKS the engine and that happens when you start pumping water instead of fuel thru it. Im going with what the guy said, this idiot drove that car under extreme heat conditions. It was running hot and the fool drove anyway.

To bad you are the end user. Hopefully someone does something for you, because right now you are getting the shaft

Also not sure about lemon law there, but it only applies to new cars here and the same owner has to take the car in three times with failure to resolve before they can lemon it.
Exactly my question! He had to have done so much to it. Yet Warranty still covered it!? It makes no sense to me. But yeah it sucks that I'm the one having to pay for someone else's mistakes.
