Consumer Description

ANTIFREEZE IS LEAKING FROM REAR HEATER CORE. CAUSED MY ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. FLUID LEAKS AT A FAIRLY RAPID RATE. IN DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THEY CHANGED THE HEATER CORE SO THIS REPAIR COSTS AN EXTRA $500 FOR PARTS TO RETROFIT A NEW HEATER CORE. IF THERE IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL? IT COULD CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE. I CALLED GM WITH NO LUCK. *TR
