1993 GEO Storm Engine cooling Problems

“My car has an erratic idle - when stopped, sometimes it will be idling at around 2,200-2,700 RPM and to keep it stopped, I have to keep my foot firmly on the brake pedal. If my brakes were to fail, I fear injury to myself or others if the car were to leap forward into a crosswalk (with pedestrians) or an intersection (with crossing traffic).”

“I have had several problems with the vehicles RPM's reving iradically. I have also had the vehicle shut off on me while I was driving down the freeway. I was lucky I did not wreak. A car stalling on the freeway is no fun. When I stalled the lights and everything shut down. I couldn't even put on my flashers.”

“My family and myself were left stranded, when my car just stalled in the middle of the road, 40 miles from our house. I have read numerous reports about accidents that have been caused by this mysterious problem. Luckily for me, there were citizens who rushed to my aid to help push my car out of traffic. I have a 5 year old daughter who needs to get enrolled in school, I have no means of transportation as of this time, what am I to do??? …”

I have spoken with other owners of Geo storms and they have the same problems. A consumer report also revealed that this was a manufacturer's defect. I bought this car my senior year in high school and I depend on it now for college. …”

“On sunday, october 13, 2002 my husband was taking our 3 children home and he had only got 1/2 mile from the house and going down the road at 55mph the car just cut off. Leaving my husband and 15 year old son just sitting in the middle of the road. The car would not restart, and thank god there was no-one behind him. No lights or warnings came on and the car would not move. They were stranded for 4 hours in the road. Thank god they had not made it to the 4 lane highway that they were headed for or crossing a busy intersection. I just know that god had to be with them. …”
