While driving, the consumer turned the ignition off. Upon starting the vehicle again, the starter made a funny noise. Also, the thermostat was extremely high. The consumer had taken the vehicle to the dealer, and the problem was not resolved. The consumer stated that the radiator was opened and the anti-freeze was low-refilled. The mechanic thought it was the water pump. The head gasket was leaking.
