Pontiac Grand Am Engine And Engine Cooling Cooling System Safety Report | Jan 20, 2004
Reported on Jan 20, 2004
| ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED MY LOW COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. I FILLED THE COOLANT FILLING TAKE TO THE LEVEL AS INDICATED ON THE TANK WITH DEX-COOL AS INSTRUCTED. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD TO ADD ADDITIONAL COOLANT WITH INCREASINGLY GREATER FREQUENCY. A THOROUGH INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE AND COOLING SYSTEM SHOWED NO EXTERNAL LEAKAGE. ALSO, WHEN CHANGING THE OIL, THEIR WAS COOLANT IN THE USED MOTOR OIL, WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES. I BELIEVE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET IS FAILING, ALLOWING COOLANT INTO THE INTERNAL ENGINE. I AM ATTEMPTING TO CONTACT GM FOR INFORMATION FOR THE REPAIR. *NM | |
