problem #1

Mar 122013

Cavalier 2.5L 4 cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 114,805 miles

head gasket blown/engine seized up

This vehicle had regular oil changes every 3000 miles,came home from work one day with no signs of any problem,no smoke or misfire,next morning would not start just clicked when I tried to start it. Bought a new battery and rebuilt starter still would not start. Had it towed to a repair shop and was told there was water in the oil and engine was seized up. The mechanic pulled all 4 spark plugs and found all of them han bent electrodes.

I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER G.M. PRODUCT. This vehicle was purchased brand new from a local dealership and recieved excellent care .
