| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Purchased a 2002 chevrolet impala used at a local chevy dealer. the coolant light has been on for a month, but i could not find any leaks, the dealer tells me it is the lower intake gasket and the cost is ($1000). he also mentioned that this is a common problem in that the gasket is now plastic, whereas previously was made of metal. he also stated that the replacement part is also plastic and indicated that this will probably need to be replaced in the future. there is no better proof of planned obsolescence. as i am doing my research, i find that this problem is very common. the service manager even said they he is surprised that there has not been a recall. thx, gek. *nm |
