Consumer Description

COMPLAINT RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS IN THE HOT RANGE WHILE DRIVING. THE COOLING SYSTEM CHECKED OUT OKAY, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS LOW ON COOLANT. THE CONSUMER REFILLED COOLANT, WENT OUT OF COUNTRY, AND 2 WEEKS LATER ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM. A MONTH LATER, WHILE DRIVING, COOLANT LEAKED OUT AGAIN, AND THE HEAD GASKET WAS BAD. THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. *AK *SC *JB
