Pontiac Firebird Engine And Engine Cooling Cooling System Fan Safety Report | May 07, 2000
Reported on May 07, 2000
THE SMOG PUMP BLOWS THE FUSE, THE COOLING FANS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED NEARLY $500.00 TO REPLACE THE PUMP, WIRING, AND FUSE. THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM USING BIGGER RATED WIRE AND FUSE, WHICH USUALLY MEANS ORIGINAL PARTS WERE NOT ADDEQUATE. I AM GOING TO CONTACT GM'S CORPORATE OFFICES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IF THE T.S.B. CALLS FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM WITH BIGGER RATED WIRE AND FUSE, THEN GM KNOWS IT IS POSSIBLY A DESIGN DEFECT. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE UNDER A RECALL OR AN EMISSIONS WARRANTY OF SOME KIND. *AK | |
