| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2003 impala started with a slow loose of coolant. every week or so would have to add to the overflow, but never saw a leak. was over-heating too. eventually it would have a ticking from the engine area when starting car. it wasn't all the time though. i noticed that there was oil on my driveway and the oil was about a 1/2 quart low. checked again in couple days and needed to add a quart because light came on. two days later light came on again. took it to a chevy dealership who informed me that the gasket needed replacing in the intake manifold because coolant mixed with oil. also needed coolant flush, and oil change and another gasket. they told me there was lots of sludge in engine and could cause more problems in the future. the car has 68,000 miles on it and it cost me over $1300 to repair. what a shock to the pocket book. *nm |
