Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 50,000 MILES ON IT AND ALREADY HAS AN INTERNAL LEAK OF RADIATOR FLUID. THERE HAS BEEN NO LEAKAGE UNDER THE CAR FROM ANY HOSES OR COMPONENTS. MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS GONE ON NOW AND THE CAR IS SPUTTERING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR DOWN FOR REPAIR AND THEY STATE THAT THE PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD HAS CRACKED CAUSING THE FLUID TO BE SUCKED OUT OF THE RADIATOR SYSTEM AND EVAPORATED THROUGH THE ENGINE. MY CAR HAS NOT CAUGHT FIRE, BUT ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION ON THIS SITE, I SEE THAT MY CAR IS IN DANGER OF HAVING THAT HAPPEN. *NLM
