I had to pay thousands of dollars to have the coolant lines secured into the engine of my car. This car has a known fault in where the coolant lines come unsecured from the vehicle, dumping all coolant within seconds. Not only does this overheat the engine, but slippery coolant all over the rear tires of a vehicle means a crash can occur.

"permanent" coolant hose attachment failed; it came loose from its mounting in the engine resulting in coolant sprayed onto tire, with complete loss of control during a turn , including 270 degree spin, and leaving roadway; fortunately no other vehicles were nearby, so a collision was avoided. Apparently, this is not an unusual failure with the gt3 engine. Note: this was not a coolant hose or hose clamp failure, this was a structural failure of a permanent engine component to which the coolant hose mounts.

Sudden coolant line fitting failure. The epoxy failed and a coolant fitting completely popped out of the engine housing near the alternator. Resulted in rapid coolant loss. Car had to be towed/hauled approx 140 miles to repair facility near my home. I have not yet seen the bill for this service. I AM having all coolant fittings welded to prevent this from happening to any of the other lines. Work is not yet complete but the estimated bill is $3500+.
