#712933October 7, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
I BOUGHT A USED 1993 PONTIAC GRAND AM FROM MISSOURI MOTORS IN POPLAR BLUFF MISSOURI. I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THIS CAR WAS USING ANTIFREEZE FASTER THAN IT WAS USING GASOLINE! I FOUND AN ARTICLE IN CONSUMER REPORTS MAGAZINE THAT SAYS 1992 AND 93 GRAND AMS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A COOLANT LEAK, AND THAT I CAN POSSIBLY GET IT REPAIRED FOR FREE. I TOOK MY CAR TO BLACKWELL BALDWIN IN POPLAR BLUFF MO. (THE G.M. DEALER) THEY SAID THAT MY CAR MATCHED UP PERFECTLY WITH THE CARS GM WAS FIXING FOR FREE: ALL EXEPT FOR THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. THIS IS TOTAL BULL! MY CAR IS THE EXACT SAME MODEL, AND THE EXACT SAME YEAR WITH THE EXACT SAME ENGINE AND THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THE CARS G.M. IS FIXING! IS THIS LEGAL? IS THEIR AN ATTORNEY IN MY STATE WHO SPECIALIZES IN LEMON VEHICLES? THE USED CAR DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM, AND THEY HAD TO HAVE KNOWN, BECAUSE THE ANTIFREEZE ENDS UP IN THE OIL. BLACKWELL BALDWIN SAID THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION, AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO GET G.M. TO FIX THEIR LEMON.
