Consumer Description

THERE IS A SMALL PIN HOLE IN THE RADIATOR THAT THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED WAS CREATED BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE THERMOSTAT. APPARENTLY GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL FIX IT IF IT'S PRIOR TO 60,000 MILES. I AM SEVERAL THOUSAND OVER NOW AND THEY REFUSE TO COVER ANY OF THE 1100.00 BILL TO REPAIR
