Consumer Description

COOLANT USED IN MY 1998 TAHOE CAUSES EARLY CORROSION OF PARTS IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. EVEN FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDED FLUSHING, I AM FINDING MYSELF FACING A RATHER LARGE SERVICE BILL TO FIX A LEAK CAUSED BY THE TYPE OF COOLANT USED. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM (NEW) ADMITTED THAT THEY DO HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH EARLY CORROSION, YET CHEVROLET IS NOT COVERING ANY OF THE REPAIR COST. *AK
