Consumer Description

DT: THE RESERVOIR FOR THE COOLANT HAD A DESIGN FLAW WHICH CAUSED IT TO LEAK. IT CAUSED AN O-RING TO PULL AWAY AND LET COOLANT SPLASH ON TOP OF THE ENGINE. CONSUMER WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST 750 TO 1000 DOLLARS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO RUN HOT. THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO PAY TO HAVE PROBLEM REMEDIED. *JB
