My 2003 Chevy Malibu has always had the coolant light on, even if we just filled it. It is draining somewhere that we cannot see. We have checked almost everywhere to see where it could be leaking outside so I'm assuming its an internal leak. It didn't start running hot until about 3 weeks ago and we have changed the thermostat and the water pump and still having the same issue. I can't drive past 45 mph without it overheating or past 10 minutes. From the other complaints about the same problems I have read with the same vehicles I'm guessing its not worth me putting any more money into this vehicle.
There really should be a recall on the entire vehicle if so many people are having the same problems. I know I cannot afford to just go out and get another vehicle or I would. If anyone has figured out how to fix this overheating problem please help I'm am desperate now and don't feel safe driving my children in this car but I have no choice. Please someone help!!!
