Consumer Description

BULLETIN NO PI1513F DESCRIBES AN ISSUE WITH CHEVY SILVERADOS (AMONGST OTHER MODELS) AND THE RADIATORS LEAKING DUE TO OVER CYCLING OF THE THERMOSTAT. I HAVE A 2018 THAT IS BARELY 2 YEARS OLD, AND A LEAKING RADIATOR! GM IS DOING NOTHING TO OWN UP TO THIS ISSUE, AND THEY ARE EXPECTING ME TO PAY THE ENTIRETY FOR A REPLACEMENT, AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE CONFIDENCE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS BULLETIN SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO COVER ALL YEARS UNTIL GM PROVES THEY HAVE A SOLUTION IN PLACE. IT IS COMPLETELY UNETHICAL FOR GM TO NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND EXPECT ME TO PUT THIS MUCH MONEY INTO A BRAND NEW TRUCK. I SLOWLY BEGAN TO NOTICE THE COOLANT RESERVOIR GOING DOWN. I EVENTUALLY BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALERSHIP (TWICE), AND ON THE SECOND VISIT THEY FOUND THE LEAK, ALTHOUGH MILEAGE WAS OVER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY DURING THE SECOND VISIT. IT IS A VERY SLOW LEAK.
