| Description of the problem | dt: contact had to replace two clamps on the lower radiator hose on february 15, 2005 at 3,000 miles. Contact was afraid that the other clamps will break as well. Contact wanted to replace all of the clamps on the vehicle but the service dealer will replace the clamps only if they break. Contact felt this was a safety concern because neither the dealership nor the manufacturer will agree to replace all of the clamps at one time. *ak *nm |
