Coolant is leaking Inspection $94.99 - $114.99 Get a Quote

Hi there. The sound you heard was likely a lower coolant hose popping or the radiator itself splitting, causing the coolant to rapidly exit the system. This is a rather serious problem, so I would highly recommend having a professional mechanic come to your location to complete a coolant leaking inspection, so they can determine what is damaged and needs to be replaced to fix your Charger.
