Consumer Description

I HAD CHECKED BEFORE HAND IF MY HEATER CORE WAS UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL FOR 93 CORRADOS, BUT IT WASN'T. NOW MY HEATER CORE IS HAVING PROBLEMS AND LEAKING INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE $600 THE DEALER IS ASKING FOR PUTTING IN A $60 PRODUCT. THEREFORE I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO EXCHANGE THE HEATER CORE MYSELF WHICH IS GOING TO BE A MAJOR PAIN.
