Consumer Description

WE OWN A 2002 CHEVY MONTE CARLO. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO OVERHEAT. THE DEALER TOLD US IT NEEDS A NEW HEAD GASKET AT A COST OF $1000.00 PLUS. I CALLED CHEVY TO SEE IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT AND THEY SAID YES. THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND CHEVY WILL NOT FIX THIS DEFECT.*AK
