ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED MY "LOW COOLANT" LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. I FILLED THE COOLANT FILLING TAKE TO THE LEVEL AS INDICATED ON THE TANK WITH DEX-COOL AS INSTRUCTED. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD TO ADD ADDITIONAL COOLANT WITH INCREASINGLY GREATER FREQUENCY. A THOROUGH INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE AND COOLING SYSTEM SHOWED NO EXTERNAL LEAKAGE. ALSO, WHEN CHANGING THE OIL, THEIR WAS COOLANT IN THE USED MOTOR OIL, WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES. I BELIEVE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET IS FAILING, ALLOWING COOLANT INTO THE INTERNAL ENGINE. I AM ATTEMPTING TO CONTACT GM FOR INFORMATION FOR THE REPAIR. *NM

AFTER HAVING TO GET THE WHEELS BEARINGS REPLACED IN MY FRONT WHEELS, I STARTED HEARING A KNOCKING/CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE WHEELS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME PLACE AND THEY REPLACED THE BEARINGS AGAIN, BUT THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. THE THIRD AND FOURTH TIME I TOOK IT THERE THEY REPLACED CV JOINTS AND FRONT CONTROLS ARMS. THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. I GAVE UP ON THAT GARAGE. I TOOK IT TO A SECOND PLACE WHERE THEY PRETTY MUCH TOOK APART EVERYTHING UNDER THE FRONT END OF MY CAR. FOUR MONTHS LATER I STILL HEAR THE CLICKING, AND I THINK THIS CURRENT PROBLEM IS RELATED. DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY LAST WEEK THE ABS, SERVICE VEHICLE SOON, AND TRACTION OFF LIGHT ALL CAME ON. TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG (NO CODES). AFTER I START MY CAR, THE FIRST FEW TIMES I BRAKE, IT MAKES A CLANKING NOISE AND THE BRAKES LOSE ALL PRESSURE FOR A FEW SECONDS. AFTER THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON THE BRAKES WORK FINE. CAR IS AT DEALER NOW. *JB
