NHTSA Complaint #10228323 — 2005 CHEVROLET IMPALA

9/29/2006 I PURCHASED A USED 2005 CHEVROLET IMPALA FROM MISSION AUTOMOTIVE AND AN EAGLE WARRANTY. ON 1/31/2008 THE CAR HAD A "COOLANT" PROBLEM OR OVER-HEAT PROBLEM OF WHICH I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE CERTIFIED CHEVY. DEALER. EAGLE WARRANTY SENT AN AGENT TO LOOK AT THE CAR AFTER I PAID $600 TO HAVE IT TORN DOWN. I ALSO INCURRED A RENTAL CAR DURING THIS TIME. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE CHEVY DEALER AS AN "ENGINE COOLANT" PROBLEM. THE AGENT FROM THE WARRANTY CONCURRED AND WOULD NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING. I HAVE THAT REPORT. THE CHEF 2005 IMPALA OPERATORS BOOK STATES THE COOLING SYSTEM IN YOUR VEHICLE IS FILLED WITH DEX-COOL ENGINE COOLANT. THIS COOLANT IS DESIGNED TO REMAIN IN YOUR VEHICLE FOR 5 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED WITH 84,460 MILES, THE DEFECT OCCURRED AT 96,542 MILES. *TR
