Consumer Description

NORMAL DRIVING OF VEHICLE PLASTIC THERMOSTAT HOUSING UNIT BROKE IN HALF AND EXPLODED COOLANT OVER THE ENGINE AND WINDSHIELD OF VEHICLE. CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY KNOW THAT THE PART IS FAULTY AND WEARS OUT IN UNDER 40,000 MILES AND HAVE REDESIGNED THE PART USING POT METAL WHICH WILL NOW COST 89.99 TO REPLACE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THIS SAME PART ON THIS CAR IN THE THREE YEARS WE HAVE OWNED IT. SO THEY KNOW THE PART IS FAULTY AND THEN CHARGE FIVE TIME WHAT THE ORIGINAL PARTS REPLACEMENT COST WAS BECAUSE THEY KNOW YOU HAVE TO REPLACE IT THROUGH THEM. *TR
