ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
A FAULTY GASKET CAUSED COOLANT TO LEAK AND AS A RESULT THE COOLANT COULD BE SMELLED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE HEATER IS TURNED ON THERE IS A LOUD NOISE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR THE HEATER CORE WHICH WAS RECALLED UNDER 94V-006 BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS TOO OLD WITH TOO MANY MILES. *NLM
NHTSA complaint #10003848 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
VERY STRONG (SUFFOCATING) COOLANT SMELL IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHEN HEATER AND/OR BLOWER IS ENGAGED. WHEN CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT RECALL #607 (IN 1994) FOR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 7/87 THRU 6/92 (MY VEHICLE MANUFACTURED 10/88) FOR 1989 EAGLE PREMIERS, THEY SAID IT DID NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE. THE CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE COULD NOT GIVE ME A REASON WHEN I TOLD HER THIS WAS THE EXACT PROBLEM AND WHY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. IT SEEMS TO BE VERY CONVENIENT JUST TO SAY THAT VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. YET, RECALL #747 , FOR 1 1989 EAGLE PREMIER, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 7/88 THRU 7/91, DID INCLUDE MY VEHICLE. I NEED SOME ANSWERS. THIS VEHICLE IS NO GOOD TO ME IN THE COLD WEATHER, I NEED HEAT AND DEFROST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I AM ANTICIPATING AN ANSWER.
