Consumer Description

REDDISH LIQUID LEAKING FROM UNDER ENGINE AND ENGINE APPEARED TO BE OVERHEATING, TEMPERATURE NEEDLE GOING ALL THE WAY UP, THEN DOWN, BAD SMELL. MECHANIC TOLD ME HE HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES BEFORE DUE TO DEX-COOL USED WHICH GUNKS UP THE COOLING SYSTEM. WATER PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE DAMAGE FROM THIS STUFF. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RESPONSE I RECEIVED FROM THE PEOPLE FROM GMC WHO APPARANTLY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS.
