| The coolant light has continuously flashed for the past few days. the vehichle was returned to dealership in order to fix. the manual states that coolant should only be replaced at 155,000 miles or every 5 years. this is the third incident, which leads me to believe that the vehicle has a major malfunction. the previous incident, the oil was in the coolant and the coolant was in the oil. i am in the process of discussing this situation with the military legal services about my options. my vehichle should be ready this afternoon if the problem is fixed. | |||

| 1998 sunfire began to make clunking noises on front right side. upon visual investigation, it was found that the frame component was completely rusted through and separated. this could be a very dangerous problem under the right circumstance. i have sent digital files to your webmaster email to show exactly what has happened as i feel that there should be a recall immediately , as this is a serious safety matter. *tr | |||
