Consumer Description

I have noticed over the last few weeks I am losing radiator fluid. Its slow but noticeable. Engine temperature rises and fan stays on. My 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 only has 50,150 miles on it, and started well under 50,000. It looks like the leak is from upper contact points of Radiator and frame. I have come to find out that GMC has put a notice out on this issue and put a recall/repair out on the 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 for the same issue. Its a know defect. ( I WILL ATTACH COPIES ) I went to the dealer and was told they would fix the 2014 but have not issued a fix for the 2015. "Not enough complaints"? Its a very expensive fix for a KNOWN manufactured defect but GMC (AND CHEVY TRUCKS) want more complaints.... so here is my filing. Kind of a silly game they are playing when they know it should be a recall issue.
