Consumer Description

2002 CHEVY IMPALA - DID FINE THE FIRST YEAR OR SO. ENGINE LIGHT STARTED COMING ON. LONG STORY SHORT - BEEN HAVING TO MAKE SURE THERE'S ALWAYS ANTIFREEZE FOR YEARS NOW AND HOPING AND PRAYING I DON'T END UP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NOW I'M NOTICING HAVING TO ADD 1/2 TO 3/4 GALLON OF ANTIFREEZE EVERYDAY. TEMP LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON. ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF WHICH WORRIES ME MORE THAN WHEN IT'S ON. NOW NOTICING ANTIFREEZE BURNING AFTER I HAVE DROVE IT A LITTLE WHILE. LEAVES ME A LITTLE PUDDLE NOW EACH NIGHT. SEEMS TO LOSE ANTIFREEZE MORE IN THE WINTER WHILE RUNNING THE HEATER THAN IT DOES IN THE SUMMER. TIRED OF STRESSING ABOUT THE POS!!!!!!!!! *TR
