What owners wrote
Coolant loss, low coolant light, coolant leak odor. Dealership mechanic verifed that it is leaking and damaging the head gasket. He also told me that the 95 cavalier have this problem on recall. My car was manufactured 11/95, has the same head gasket as the 95, but chevrolet will not pay to fix it.
Excessive coolant leakage from under car. Car heats up, causing to pullover constantly to get the car to cool down. Seems to be a head gasket problem.
