The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle overheated. The contact added antifreeze into the radiator and discovered a leak. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who diagnosed that the upper manifold needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 66,000.
I have had to repair/replace my cooling system twice, at my own expense. I own a 2003 Chevy Monte Carlo. Dexcool coolant which is the only coolant recommended for GM cars is all that I have used since I have owned the car (bought new). There is a recall on dexcool that is under litigation, however, my manifold is now cracked from the dexcool gunking my engine. Once again, I am stuck with the bill. GM is denying there is a problem, but there are other owners who have had this problem. Please help- I am out of money, and a car.
