| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The engine coolant reservoir failed can't be repaired. it must be replaced. there are no such parts anywhere in the united states. parts are on a boat from korea. due to the suspected number of such failures, and to the basic lack of adequate design of the part, we suspect that there has been a major draw-down on the part, resulting in a stock outage. operating the vehicle w/o this major component would result in engine failure. such engine failure, under certain conditions, could result in an accident, and potential injury. *nm *ak |
