Consumer Description

MY 1997 CHEVROLET LUMINA HAS HAD TO HAVE THE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS REPLACED TWICE IN THREE YEARS AT A COST OF $900 EACH TIME. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE CAR WITH A POOR DESIGN USING DEX-COOL ENGINE COOLANT WHICH IS THE ORIGIN OF THE PROBLEM. I'VE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE COOLANT PUMP AND ASSOCIATED OTHER PARTS.
