Consumer Description

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED IN COLD TEMPERATURES, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT WARM UP. THE ANTIFREEZE WAS LOW AND REFILLED BY THE CONTACT, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ANTIFREEZE WAS LEAKING DUE TO A CRACKED HEAD GASKET. THE REPAIR COST WAS ESTIMATED AT $4,200. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT ASSIST WITH REPAIRS. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE, SHE WAS UNABLE TO HAVE REPAIRS PERFORMED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE COMPANY WAS UNDER LIQUIDATION. THE WARRANTY COMPANY ALSO STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS SINCE THE FAILURES WERE RECURRING ISSUES. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 90,000. UPDATED 5/7/09 *CN UPDATED 05/12/09.*JB
