Consumer Description

TWICE UNDER WARRANTY I HAD GM FIX AN OIL LEAK FROM THE OIL PAN GASKET AND THE THIRD TIME IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO GM WOULD NOT WORK ON IT. THE OIL LEAK HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I FEEL SINCE THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED AT 12K MILES AND A NEW GASKET PUT ON AND AT 32K MILES GM AGAIN WORKED ON IT BUT JUST TORQUEING THE OIL PAN BOLTS TIGHTER THAT THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! THEY TOLD ME THERE WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT TO FOLLOW UP ON ANY FURTHER LEAKS! WELL, AFTER WARRANTY IT BEGAN TO LEAK AGAIN BUT THIS TIME I HIT A "WALL" WITH GM! THEY WILL NOT WORK ON IT AT THEIR COST! THIS WAS A PROBLEM EARLY IN THE VEHICLE'S HISTORY AND PERSISTED. OIL IS A VITAL NEED FOR AN ENGINE TO PERFORM... YOU WOULD THINK THAT SUCH A LEAK WOULD BE LOOKED INTO RATHER THAN IGNORED OR SHRUGGED AT. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS. MY TRUCK IS NOW ROLLING INTO THE 75K MILE RANGE AND I WOULD LIKE IT TO LAST LONGER BUT WON'T WITH THIS VERY COSTLY REPAIR.
