Consumer Description

ON 3 MILE IN TOWN TRIP, HEAT GAUGE SUDDENLY CLIMBED INTO THE RED. I TURNED OF CAR AND LET IT COOL. DROVE BACK HOME WITH MANY STOPS TO PREVENT OVERHEATING. TOWED IT TO A DEALER. LOWER MANIFOLD INTAKE GASKET, A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM--BUT NO US RECALL, NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. LABOR COSTS BROUGHT THE DEFECTIVE AND BADLY ENGINEERED REPLACEMENT TO OVER $900. THERE WAS NO ENGINE DAMAGE, BECAUSE I CAUGHT THE PROBLEM EARLY, AS NO COOLANT HAD YET LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE. *TR
