| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This component is historically made from cast iron or aluminum. the water chamber blew out because it was made from plastic. it caused excess vapor to come from hood. failure was catastrophic and with no warning. engine overheated immediately. the parts person at the dealer now performing the service (i was out of town when this happened to me) told me that they stock this part because of the constant failure. there have been recalls issued on other models with the same part but not on my specific model apparently. this should have been replaced proactively by the mfg. based on the present failure rates.*ak |
