That 2005 Chevy Malibu with the coolant reservoir that cracks at 45k miles
My sister had one. 45k miles on the dot. Coolant reservoir cracked right in half. Caused the engine to overheat on the way to work in Austin. Dealer said it was a known issue. How do they get away with selling that for 10 years?

Wait duct tape actually worked on a cracked coolant reservoir?! That's insane! I would have thought the heat and pressure would have blown that thing apart immediately. My sister's Malibu left her stranded on Mopac in rush hour and she had to get towed. The plastic on those tanks is so thin you can see light through it when it's out. Does your car still have the original engine after that fix or did it cause other problems down the line?
