| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Early on a saturday morning, i was driving on a relatively traffic free l.a. freeway. i happened to look down and notice the check engine light on and the temp gauge pegged. there was no other indication of a problem. fortunately i was able to get off the freeway before the car stalled. upon inspection a small hole was found in the front of the radiator. the problem seems to be a large grill opening with no screen or other protection. normally the radiator is protected by the ac cooler. but in the case of the endeavor, an inch of cheap fragile aluminum radiator is left exposed to even the slightest of road debris. since the stopping of a vehicle on a crowded freeway could result in a serious accident this needs to be corrected by the manufacturer. radiator was replaced at customer?s expense. *jb *sc |
