We drove from Eau Claire Wi. with the heating blasting out heat. Yuck, but it was that or overheating and it was about a seventy degree day so it was hot. Today is a lot cooler. It took us close to 10 hours to make it down to illinios because I was unable to drive 65 miles per hour when I was supposed to be driving it. I drove as fast as I could with out overheating the engine. It would go to really hot fan would turn on and then drop to 3/4 hot line, then fan turned off. Well this isn’t normal behavoir for my Kia. I called my uncle let him know I was having car trouble and he didn’t think I knew what I was talking about, said maybe because it was on a long trip the car was running a little differently. Okay that could make since this is the longest trip since owning the car. So we decided to leave the heater off and see what happens well I started overheating and it didn’t want to go down on its own, so I turned on the heat and it went down. So we had the stupid heater on full blast all the way to Illinios Thank G-d we did not overheat with the heater on. I need a good insurance quotes for repairs not for the car. Midas was open and was able to work on the car.
As far as I can tell they did a great job, I will post after I get home on Monday night or Tuesday. I can say I spent less money here then I would have where I came from. So I am not unhappy, but probably should have told my uncle I needed the car in and got his mechanic number.
