Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OCCURRED IN THE COOLANT SYSTEM. ONE OF THE ALUMINUM HOSE FITTINGS THAT IS EPOXIED INTO THE ALUMINUM HOUSING BROKE FREE CAUSING ENGINE COOLANT TO EMPTY OUT OF THE ENGINE ONTO THE HIGHWAY IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. THE RUBBER HOSE DID NOT FAIL AND IT WAS STILL CONNECTED TO ALUMINUM HOSE FITTING THAT BROKE AWAY FROM THE HOUSING. I PULLED THE CAR OFF THE FREEWAY IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE CAR. FURTHER INSPECTION AT THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER SHOWED THERE WAS VERY LITTLE TO NO COOLANT LEFT IN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. *TR
