Consumer Description

DURING A REGULAR STATE SAFETY INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MY ENGINE HAD COOLANT LEAKAGE FROM THE HEAD GASKET. REPAIR WILL ENTAIL REMOVAL AND MACHINING OF THE HEAD, AT A COST OF $750.00. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2.2 LITRE CHEVROLET ENGINE AND HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF A TECHNICAL ADVISORY FOR THE 2.2 LITRE ENGINES INSTALLED IN CAVALIERS, BUT NOT THOSE INSTALLED IN THE S-10. SINCE THIS IS AN ENGINE DESIGN DEFECT, I BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD TREAT THE S-10 PROBLEMS IN THE SAME MANNER IN WHICH IT DOES THE CAVALIER PROBLEM.
