Consumer Description

DRIVING IN A HIGH PERFORMANCE DRIVING EVENT ON A HOT DAY GOING AROUND A FAST RIGHT HAND TURN AND FELT THE CAR BEING A LITTLE LOOSE THEN NOTICED THE ON BOARD COMPUTER FLASHING LOW COOLANT. I SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED IN TO A SAFE PLACE TO CHECK THE MOTOR AND SAW A COOLANT J SHAPED PRESS FITTING COMPLETELY POPPED OUT AND DUMPING MASS AMOUNTS OF SLIPPERY COOLANT ON THE ENGINE AND REAR TIRES. I POPPED THE FITTING BACK IN AND SAFETY WIRED IT SO HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT COME BACK OUT. REPLACED COOLANT FLUID WITH NEW AND BURPED THE SYSTEM. *TR
