Just had new radiator in yesterday. Today drove 4 mi tops and gauges started flashing, car losing power, ac won’t shut off. Turned it off now won’t come on. Did thy screw my car up?

Take it back to them and let them look at it its under a warranty.

@@kevinsmobileautomotiverepair I did and they said it’ll be 4-5 hours to check it bc of where starter is located. I said if they didn’t connect radiator right they could fry alternator. He said he was no where near alt. Is this possible? No probs until now. White stuff spewed under hood as was loosing power…?

And strong antifreeze smell

[@kevinsmobileautomotiverepair]

no where the radiator is at would have nothing to do with the alternator or starter the white stuff would be a coolant leak. Did you tell them to install a radiator or did they diagnose it and said a radiator as leaking?

@@kevinsmobileautomotiverepair I took in bc it’s losing coolant . Thy said radiator busted at top seem. $700 later I had knew radiator and left. On way home ac was not blowing as hard out vent as b4. Then battery light came on and all lights blinked and losing power while driving. Got it home turned it off & saw white spray under hood . Would come back on but change gear from park to drive then it turns off. They said if it was coolant it would be red. Oddest is the ac will not turn off when car is running. I do have a video. & pics. Sooo appreciate your help!
