NHTSA Complaint #10386545 — 2006 CHEVROLET COLORADO

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON DUE TO SEVERAL MISFIRES. GOT THIS CHECKED OUT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CYLINDER HEAD AS THE MANUFACTURER CREATED A FAULTY SEAL FOR THESE ENGINES AND THEY TEND TO LEAK AT IDLE. THIS FIX WAS QUOTED AT 3000 DOLLARS. I CHECKED AROUND AND FOUND A BULLETIN RELEASED BY CHEVROLET STATING HOW THEY KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUE AND BASICALLY SAYING HOW TO FIX IT. BASICALLY CHEVROLET OWNS UP TO THIS BEING THEIR MISTAKE BUT IS UNWILLING TO HELP OUT THE VEHICLE OWNERS. THEY WANT US TO PAY 3000 TO FIX A VEHICLE THAT IS SUFFERING FROM THEIR MISTAKE. CHEVROLET SHOULD BE WILLING TO COUNT THEIR LOSSES AND HELP OUT OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR
