Consumer Description

GM HAD A RECALL ON THE 3.6 LGZ EQUIPPED IN TRUCKS IN CANADA. COLD WEATHER CAUSED OIL PUMP TO OVER PRESSURIZING OF OIL AND DAMAGE TO OIL COOLER AND LINES. LEAKING OIL IN TO ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND ON ROADWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE NOW ONCE IN MARCH OF 2018 AND NOW AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 2019. DOING RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT. I WOULD LIKE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT TO LOOK INTO THIS AN DO SIMILAR RECALL AS CANADA. HERE IN MINNESOTA IT GETS AS COLD OR COLDER THAN CANADA.
