Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The check engine light came on in my 1998 buick lesabre and i pulled over to discover that there was low levels of coolant. it had just been checked 2 months earlier at an oil change and the week brfore when i got gas. i added coolant and got back on the road. after 5 miles the car quit running in heavy traffic. i had it towed to a buick dealer who diagnosed the problem as a failed plenum that allowed coolant to foul the plugs. the dealer replaced the plenum, fouled plugs, coolant, and oil for $800.00 dollars. *ak
