Why would a freeze plug on a 98 cavalier with 71K miles burst while in Hawaii And how much would you pay to fix the problem?

Rust and corrosion are hard on freeze plugs. In a temperate climate one might be tempted to not use anti-freeze coolant in the engine, but that's a mistake, since the water just speeds up the rust. With the salt air and humidity always working on anything that rusts, a freeze plug will easily rust through. Cost of repairing the freeze plug will vary greatly, depending on what needs to be removed to get to it. If the freeze plug is RIGHT THERE, with nothing in the way, it might cost you $20.00. If it's behind the starter, a motor mount, the air conditioner compressor or something else that's likely to be difficult to remove, replacing the freeze plug could cost a couple hundred dollars. The freeze plug itself is cheap. A couple dollars at most. But getting to it can be anywhere from simple to a major operation.
