Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Water light coming on intermittently - taken to dealership 3 times for repair. after warrenty,car regularly overheats and the light came on and book said 'coolant' problem. i had radiator flushed and filled with antifreeze. car now continues to overheat. mechanics (3 so far) said this is a common problem with chevrolets. cost would be $800 - $1,000 to repair leakage around lower intake gasket. i believe if this is a common problem with chevrolets and it will continue to happen yearly, chevrolet should be responsible for repairs.
