Consumer Description

HAVING COOLANT LEAK, DID NOT SEE ANY COOLANT LEAKING ON THE GROUND. CHANGED WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, AND RADIATOR; STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. FOUND OUT INTAKE GASKET WAS CRACKED AND HAD IT FIXED. COOLANT STILL LEAKING, HAVING TO ADD COOLANT EVERY DAY TO EVERY OTHER DAY. WAS TOLD RESERVOIR CAP DID NOT FIT WELL. REPLACED RESERVOIR AND CAP AND HAD VEHICLE BLED. RAN FINE FOR 3 DAYS, THEN COOLANT STARTING LEAKING OUT AGAIN. CANT SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM OF WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. FOR A 2002 THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE BAD MILEAGE, ONLY 84,000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW. I HAVE READ SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE ON THE INTERNET. SOMEONE SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. CHEVROLET SOLD LEMONS WHEN THEY SOLD THESE CARS, THAT'S FOR SURE!!! *TR
