Consumer Description

THE HEAD GASKET OF THE ENGINE HAS BLOWN OUT CAUSING A COOLENT LEAK ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE ENGINE. THE MECHANIC AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS MADE THE STATEMENT THAT HE HAS SEEN 5 OR 6 OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ENGINE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE HEAD GASKET BLOWING OUT. THE LEAK STARTED OFF SMALL BUT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE LAST FOUR MONTHS. IF THIS IS TRUE AT ALL THE OTHER DEALERSHIPS, THIS SEEMS TO BE A HIGH FAILURE RATE FOR THIS TYPE OF ENGINE. *AK
