Consumer Description

PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD FAILED, ANTIFREEZE LEAKING FROM AROUND THERMOSTAT DUE TO THIS FAILURE AND LEAKING INTO COIL PACKS AND CAUSING MAJOR MISFIRE IN MOTOR. HAPPENED SUDDENLY, NO INDICATION OF LEAK PRIOR TO THIS FAILURE. WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND HAD TO CALL FOR HELP TO GET VEHICLE BACK HOME, AND NOW CAN'T DRIVE IT . COST TO FIX IS EXPENSIVE, AND THE CAR RAN GREAT UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. SOUNDED LIKE I HAS THROWN A ROD, POPPING LOUDER ON EXCELERATION, SO I IMMEDIATELY PARKED IT AND TURNED OFF THE MOTOR.
