This slight radiator leak nearly killed my dog. In addition to the new radiator, the vet bill was $500. One teaspoon of coolant will kill a dog. The leak was so slight we did not notice the drip until the puppy was in renal failure. I would like to tell the Chief Engineer in Dearborn that approve a plastic radiator that he is not capable if designing a paper airplane! This vehicle was never in a collision and had the coolant flushed and replaced at 25,000 miles. There is no excuse for radiator failure at less than 60,000 miles. UAW companies like Ford have to skimp on the quality in order to over pay the slobs in the UAW. My next vehicle will be untouched by UAW hands! Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama is right.."ya'll are just delaying your own funeral. I wish I could find an American made car not produced by the UAW.
