1995 Chevrolet Corsica Engine cooling Problems

“My car was made in 95 I bought it in 96. In august of 01 the car engine was all messed up. One day it stopped running while driving down the interstate. The body shop said a list of things were wrong. I have just finished paying for it in feb. 2003. But have not been driving it since aug. 2001. Cant afford to fix it.”

“O.k. First problem I had was strong radiator smell. Replaced adiator due to crack, still had odor, then film on windshield, no heat,just cold air. Precepitation on inside windows, wet floorboard. Gushing leak from heater core. Replaced water pump & heater core. Still smelling very strong radiator fluid, gurgling sound at start up and turn off. Losing radiator fluid, but no leaks. Fluid comes from under cap (replaced 3 times already) at times and has overheated twice. Thermostat has also been replaced. Radiator smell is enough to choke you.”

“I've owned my Corsica for a few months and only put 4000 miles on it when the head gasket blew, and the dealer refuses to work out any compromise for repairs.”

“Was driving daughter to school about 8 a.m friday(4/14/00), when a loud boom noise followed by thick black smoke occurred. Car lost power and we coasted to the side of the highway. I immediately got my daughter out of the car and cleared away from the vehicle. I could see sparks and a trai8l of oil where I had exited the highway. While walking my daughter to school, I phoned Chevrolet customer roadside assistance and gave them the information on where the car was. I was told by the towing service and the service writer at the dealership that the engine needed to be replaced. …”

“Was pulling out of garage & noticed fluid on ground. Lifted hood & noticed green fluid was leaking from front on left side and running down engine. Took vehicle to dealer, and was informed by mechanic that head gaskets were gone. Head gaskets were replaced 3/15/99, but warranty ran out. Mechanic indicated not fixing the gaskets.”
