Consumer Description

FREEZE PLUGS ARE LEAKING AND AFTER REPAIRS THEY ARE STILL LEAKING. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY SAND LEFT IN THE BLOCK AFTER CASTING AND THE PLUGS ARE CORRODING. LAST TIME IN THEY PUT A STOP LEAK IN THE SYSTEM AND IT HAS SLOWED DOWN THE COOLANT CONSUMPTION TO ABOUT A PINT EVERY 3 MONTHS. I FEEL THEY HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BUT DELAYED IT UNTIL THERE IS A PROBLEM AT A FUTURE DATE.
