Description of the problem | I have had a slow leak in my explorer for a week, we changed the over flow tank and then the leak became a more serious one. My dad looked at it and my radiator is leaking about two different places. It is going cost me about $300. 00 to get a new or if it can be repaired the price of it. A owner of a shop has informed me that he has had to repair several radiators with the same year and make as mine. If this is such a big problem for everyone why hasn't there been a recall yet. |
