Consumer Description

I FIRST NOTICED THE COOLANT LIGHT ON AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN I TURNED CORNERS. THE LIGHT NEVER STAYED ON FOR MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS, THEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER TO GET SOME RECALL WORK COMPLETED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT A GASKET CONNECTING TO MY WATER PUMP HAS A SLOW LEAK. MY BROTHER HAS A 1997 CAVALIER Z24 AND HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I HOPE YOU CAN GET SOMETHING DONE SO OTHERS DONT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *AK
