Consumer Description

2000 SILHOUETTE VAN - [XXX] - LEAKED DEXCOOL FROM A FAULTY LOWER INTAKE GASKET AND SHORTED OUT PLUGS. REPAIR COST APPROXIMATELY 700 USD. UPON RESEARCH AND ADVICE FROM OUR AUTO MECHANIC, THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES HOWEVER GM REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL. THE GASKETS ARE PLASTIC AND WILL FAIL FROM 30,000 - 70,000 MILES. OUR VEHICLE HAD 53088 MILES AT THE TIME. IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONSIDER BUYING "AMERICAN" WHEN THE PRODUCT AND SUPPORT FROM THE AMERICAN COMPANY IS SO POOR. *LA INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
