| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The intake is plastic and the egr tube srews directly into it,thus causing the intake to melt and distort cause your coolant to leak into the engines cylinder walls.which antifreeze has sugars in it thus causeing the engine to burn up.have been to several dealerships in the area and they all say that it happens to all the cars with this particular engine.though they do not want to admit it is a factory production mess up.you cant mix a metal egr tube with a plastic intake that gets in excess of 3 or 400 degrees and not expect it to melt the plastic intake.so now i have a practically blown up engine due to a factory production screw up and its going to cost "me" thousands of dollars to repair. *ak |
