What owners wrote
Pressed fittings for the cooling system failed dumping coolant on the rear tires causing the car to crash. The replacement part failed the same way three weeks later.
On very hot day, over 100 degrees f, after having just exited a freeway onto a city street, while accelerating from red light, a glued-in water coolant pipe/tube popped out from its cast housing, causing catastrophic loss of all cooling fluids which spilled onto the roadway, immediate increase in engine temperature from 185 to over 260 degrees f, and loss of power. Car needed to be towed to repair shop.
