NHTSA Complaint #11507608 — 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO

The oil coolant line has just failed for a second time in two years on our 2017 Chevy Colorado that only has 50,000 on it. In both cases I was driving down the road and the line ruptured and alarms started going off to shut the engine off. This is very dangerous to have to immediately stop in the middle of the road and then left stranded (especially in the middle of a cold MN winter). The first time this happened the vehicle was under warranty and our dealer towed and fixed the vehicle. The second time, it is just 8 months past the warranty time (still under the warranty mileage limit). This is now a $1200 repair for something that should not be happening any way. This is a known, common issue with GM and they are doing nothing to solve this problem - or even warn their customers of this safety issue. Two catastrophic failures of an essential drive train component in a vehicle with 50,000 miles? Also in both cases there was no warning of any kind before it happened. No warning lights or symptoms. It just all of a sudden blew both times and left me stranded on the road.
