First Accident Ever...

Postby Jon11582 » Sat Jul 08, 2006 7:48 pm

Steam out of the engine and inability to start again is probably a coolant system failure. (steam is evaporated coolant escaping the radiation and water circulation system in the form of steam. If coolant escapes, and the coolant system isnt pressurized, the engine does not allow itself to start as a safety mechanism.) Could be a water pump failure, could be a leak, could be more.

You said transmission fluid was all over the place...are you sure it was transmission fluid and not coolant? You didnt indicate that they did any transmission work.

That is terrible, I really hope that your able o fix your vehicle soon. I took my ride to Disacount tire on the second day I had it to get the tires rotated, and I came back to find a dent in the rear quaterpanel, its disgusting, but your situation os much worse, good luck.
