Consumer Description

PURCHASED A USED 2005 GMC SIERRA FROM A GM DEALERSHIP. TWO MONTHS LATER THE ENGINE WAS FOUND TO HAVE A BLOWN HEAD. AFTER DOING MY DUE DILIGENCE, I WAS MADE AWARE THAT GM HAS HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE HEAD CASTING MANUFACTURE OF MY PARTICULAR TRUCK. I AM HAVING IT REPAIRED AT A GM DEALERSHIP AND HAVE ASKED GM TO ASSIST ME IN ANYWAY WITH THE COSTLY REPAIR, SINCE IT IS ONLY A 2005. THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO WORK WITH ME IN THE LEAST. THE GM MECHANIC EVEN STATED THAT THESE PARTICULAR HEADS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR CRACKING AND GM IS AWARE OF THIS. *TR
