| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On 12/26/05 i smelled coolant when exiting my vehicle. after investigating, i found that coolant was leaking. i took it to a mechanic, and had the internal gasket replaced for $575. the next day i saw that it was still leaking coolant. i took it back, and had the water pump replaced for $166. the next day i saw it was still leaking, and i had no heat. i took it back to the mechanic, who told me that it is leaking at the timing cover, and the lack of heat could be due to an air bubble, or i may need my heater core replaced. he gave me rough estimates of $900-$1500 for the leak, and probably about $400-600 if my heater core needs replaced. gm needs to recall this vehicle for this problem. *nm |
