“There were several problems with my car. I purchased the car in june of 2004 at clay chevorlet in newton, ma. The first day I drove my car the temperature thermometer continued to flucuate between c and h. A few months later I was told that there was a problem with my demister and that was fixed. A few weeks ago I was told there was a problem with the fan and that was supposedly fixed. Recently the thermometer went all the way to h and did not cool down. …”

“I took my 2001 Chevrolet venture to doan Chevrolet in rochester ny because I wasn't getting the propper amount of heat. They called and told us they found antifreeze in the engine oil. They said they had to replace the rear lower intake gasket that was leaking. They said our engine would seize up soon if we didn't get it taken care of. So we had the work done for a bill of $640. We have since heard from several people with GM products that had a similar problem related to engine gaskets. Was there a recall I missed or does GM just not think this is a serious problem? …”
