| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The "low coolant" light came on but there was no evidence of a leak. we finally discovered that the hot coolant was leaking onto the camshaft and into the engine through faulty lower intake manifold gaskets. the gasket was replaced at our expense but we do not know the damage or condition of the camshaft and engine bearings from coolant mixed with oil to lubricate. there remains a coolant odor we cannot identify. we later learned of gm service bulletin 03-06-01-010 dated march 2003 that identifies this problem but vehicle owners have not been alerted. there will be complete engine failure without early detection of problem and repair. *ak |
