Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: this is the second time i am complaining about the same problem. the end of june 2006 i drove to work and reached down to pick some stuff up off the passenger side floor mat. it ended up being soaked. at first i thought some water had come in because the past few days our area had torrential rains. when i got home the next day i took up the floor mat to dry it out and notice all the liquid under it was greenish yellow. in my mind i went crazy because the same thing had happened to me a year and 2 weeks earlier. once again the heater core became faulty and poured the engine coolant into the passenger spaces. wonderful, since my wife was 8 months pregnant, great for her to be breathing those chemicals. i have to say i was fortunate that it didn't leak on any of the computer components, like has happened to others, especially while i was driving. would have definitely caused a safety issue. it just blows my mind that i have had to pay for the same service twice in about a year, on a car that has less than 80,000 miles on it. i really hope the nhtsa looks into making this a recall issue, because it is just happening to too many consumers. just imagine all those people who don't even know they can file a complaint. yes, i know there were no deaths or injuries in my case, but when the coolant leaks on the computer brain of the car, it could become a real issue if driving on the highway or navigating crowded streets in town. the power stearing or antilock brakes would shut down if the computer crashed from getting wet. |
