I've been in your shoes with a different company. I feel your pain. Glad that your back up and running.

First thing I noticed was that there was antifreeze pooled up on the intake manifold.

Why did you then drive it?

Depends really on what is ment by "pooled". He did not say that he might have tightened up a hose clamp or something as simple as that and then took it for a drive.

There is always something not said/left out and then peoples imagination starts going wild and filling in the blanks with what they think happened.

It will/might end up being a he said/she said thing. None of us were there and involved in any of this.

This probably should of been in the "consumer watch" area instead. A bit easier to look up for future referance.

If one company starts getting a lot of these reports aginst them, that is when the informed (which is us reading the posts) can start deciding for ourselves if we want to deal with that particular company or not.

I tightened up all possible culprits in the area. That was a story all in its own. 1 bolt was too short to grab and one was stripped. i had to tap it and remember I was a week out of surgery after my ankle spun 90 degrees. I didnt want to bore everyone with each and every detail of my debacle. Just pointing out that the car was delivered to me in that condition. It was the first sign that it was thrown together, not tested properly, etc. Pride in craftsmanship thing...

Trust me when I say the story is worse than I described. I am a man of few words. If I could grunt to communicate I would.
