$300 to correct alignment. 500 to fix leaking coolant. Oth costs due to design/parts flaws.
2000 Monte Carlo low coolent sensor quit 3 times poor design[moisture], rear anti lock sensor 2 twice. All in 4 years. Dealers doesn't care.
I brought the car back to the dealer a total of four times,because the engine coolant level low indicator light came on ,each time they topped it off and couldn't find a problem,I was really concerned because the car manual says the coolant fluid should be fine for at least five years or 150,000. The forth time I brought the car in was yesterday I wanted to leave it and get this resolved,four hours later I called and they found a leaking gasket ,they said they would have to keep it for a couple of days and take part of the engine apart ,I was not happy . I didn't buy a new car to have this kind of work done at 26,500.
