Car overheated with kids...

[Truth in Ruin]

This is happening as we speak. My wife was driving in stop, and go traffic with my 1 year old, and 7 year old son. They're trapped on a hwy in 96 degree weather with a car that won't start in Lincoln Ne. I'm in Montana for work. Needless to say I'm very upset. And will be getting rid of this car asap. It's a 2016 with only 6,000 miles on it for Pete sake. This car just put my wife and kids in danger. Enough is enough

Thankfully a stranger stopped and picked them up as they were 3 miles outside of Lincoln. Everyone is safe now.

Thank you; will do. I do not have an extended warranty, but I'll post back with results. Thank you for your help!

I like how you had the time to come on the forum and complain right as it was happening instead of helping your family calling AMA or roadside or something along those lines. If something fails once no big deal if it happens repeatedly then there's grounds for getting something new

Okay so what are we getting at here? Have you checked your coolant levels lately? I've had my car for 2 years in tucson Arizona the very center of hell and I beat on it all the time and drive in stop and go. Something went horribly wrong but I don't think it warrants just getting rid of it... has it given you problems before?

I was making phone calls before I even posted here.

I like how the wife is in danger from being exposed to the non air conditioned nebraskan weather. People did manage to survive prior to the invention of AC

Hasn't happened before. A lot of what I said was out of anger. I mean, I'm 17 hours away from home, and my wife and kids were stranded on a hot, and humid hwy. I certainly hope someone would understand my frustrations.

My wife has an infection that she's taking medication for. My 1 year old isn't acclamated for the heat.

I get your frustration I honestly do. Contact the dealer and find out the problem and let us know what's up. Glad your family is safe man.

I have a family and would've been in a bit of panic myself. 100* stranded in a car is no where for an infant to be. Don't get rid of the car tho. There's a reason things break on cars. Just fix it. Overheating during a commute is not a chronic issue for us.

I cleaned up this thread a bit, clearly there's no reason to antagonize an already bad situation to the point where someone wants to leave the forum.

As a family man I can certainly empathize with the OP's post. Hopefully its something minor that can be fixed fairly quickly.

Clearly there was....obviously you missed the whole point of the reason for the so called antagonizing....what kind of place is this where you cannot express your opinion with a sense of humor? It's called freedom of speech....where we are allowed to express our opinions....We all know what happens when people are censored and history is being deleted or erased....i don't think I need to say more who did that or when it happened last....ill let you read up on your history if you've forgtten....needless to say STOP Censoring people....������

Oh really? So it's okay for you to break forum rules by calling others names? Is it also okay to make fun of others for being worried about their infant/toddlers being broke down on a hwy during a heat advisory when they're 17 hours away? I'm leaving this forum. I want nothing you're apart of.

 

[Truth in Ruin]

Now you're calling me snowflake. More name calling, eh? How you're not banned I have not a clue.

There is no reason to antagonize anyone on the forum and obviously the OP did not find your comments humorous. Humor goes both ways and if people ask you to stop commenting and then requests to have their account closed, then it's probably not funny to them. We only have several simple rules on the forum and one of those is to be respectful of others. If that's too hard to follow then there are plenty of other sites you can join to share your humor.

Glad it turned out ok. Besides the heat factor lot's of other dangers being stranded with young kids on the road.
