| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My vehicle a 1997 chevy venture, suddenly lost power while cruising on the highway. the temp light came on and i pulled off the highway. luckily it happened to be the dealerships exit and i pulled right in to the service bay. they tell me i have a blown head gasket. when they took the engine apart the service manager allowed me to see the engine. the coolant channels are coated with a brown gummy substance and the cylinders were full of coolant. the service manager was given a sample of the substance and said he will give it to the gm rep when he comes in later this week. cost will top $2500. previously i replaced the intake manifold gasket and the water pump. this seems like faulty gaskets or coolant i don't know which. i'm just glad it didn't strand me out somewhere away from town. *nm |
