Pontiac Montana Engine And Engine Cooling Cooling System Safety Report | June 10, 2003
Reported on June 10, 2003
| AT 26,000 MILES MY VAN STARTED LEAKING COOLANT, ALOT OF IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NEARBY AND THE MECHANIC TOOK A QUICK LOOK AND SAID IT WOULD NEED THE ENGINE PULLED AND ALL THE RUBBER RINGS OR GASKETS IN THE ENGINE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE LEAKING AND IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. HE SAID THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH BETTER QUALITY ONES BECAUSE THAT WAS THE REASON THEY WERE LEAKING, THAT THEY BROKED DOWN QUICKLY BECAUSE THEY WERE INFERIOR. AND ALL THIS WOULD COST ME AROUND $1,000. UPDATED 07/24/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *AK | |
