Pontiac Grand Am Engine And Engine Cooling Cooling System Safety Report | June 01, 2005
Reported on June 01, 2005
| MY CAR STARTED OVER HEATING, THE COOLANT LIGHT WAS GOING ON AND OFF, WHEN I CHECKED THE COOLANT THERE WAS NONE IN THERE, BUT THE DAY BEFORE I CHECKED IT AND IT WAS AT THE CORRECT LINE. SO I FILLED IT UP ONCE MY CAR COOLED DOWN AND BY THE TIME I GOT HOME WHICH IS ABOUT 4 MILES THERE WAS NO COOLANT LEFT. SO I TOOK IT IN TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THERE IS A LEAK IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS, WHICH IS NOW GOING TO COST ME AROUND 600 TO FIX. WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS ISN'T A RARE THING, IT IS HAPPENING TO ALL OF THE GRAND AM'S . ALSO THE GUY AT THE SHOP SAID HE IS FIXING ABOUT 3 A MONTH JUST LIKE MY CASE. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. | |
