Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED A SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE MY ENGINE TEMP INDICATOR ON HOT. I WASN'T FAR FROM MY HOME LUCKILY AT THE TIME, SO I DROVE IT HOME. I OPENED MY HOOD A COUPLE MINUTES LATER TO FIND WATER SIZZLING ON MY THERMOSTAT HOUSING. (WHICH IS CONSTRUCTED OF TWO PIECES OF PLASTIC, GLUED TOGETHER) I TRIED TO LOOK UP INFO ON IT AND CAME ACROSS ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2004-2005 CHEVY AVEO LS. THE EARLIEST COMPLAINT I SAW WAS AS EARLY AS JANUARY OF 2009. AFTER LOOKING AT YOUR WEBSITE, I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS NO RECALLS ON THIS ITEM AT ALL. ALSO, THE ONLY PLACE TO GET A NEW ONE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR $91.00 AND THAT IS WITHOUT LABOR COST. IN ADDITION, IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
