Consumer Description

WATER LIGHT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY - TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR REPAIR. AFTER WARRENTY,CAR REGULARLY OVERHEATS AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AND BOOK SAID 'COOLANT' PROBLEM. I HAD RADIATOR FLUSHED AND FILLED WITH ANTIFREEZE. CAR NOW CONTINUES TO OVERHEAT. MECHANICS (3 SO FAR) SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLETS. COST WOULD BE $800 - $1,000 TO REPAIR LEAKAGE AROUND LOWER INTAKE GASKET. I BELIEVE IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLETS AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN YEARLY, CHEVROLET SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS.
