Consumer Description

WHEN I WENT TO THE STORE I NOTICED A SMELL COMING FROM MY CAR I PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THAT COOLANT WAS LEAKING FROM MY CAR. I OPENED THE HOOD TO COOL DOWN THE ENGINE SINCE I ASSUMED IT MIGHT HAVE OVERHEATED OR SOMETHING OF THE SORT AND IT WAS ONLY THE RUN OFF. I ADDED MORE FLUID (EVERYTHING WAS FINE) AND NOTICED THE NEXT MORNING IT LEAKED AGAIN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC (TO GET MY HAZARDS MODULE REPLACED SINCE THEY BEGAN TO START A FRITZ) AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS THE LOWER INTAKE GASKET AND WOULD BE $850, NOT TO MENTION HE REFUSED TO OFFER THE RECALL CLAIM BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PAPERS. *JB
