Consumer Description

AT 61,000 MILES THE HEAD GASKET BLEW. AT THE TIME THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS ITEM. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS REPAIR WOULD BE OVER $900. WITH NO CHOICE AT HAND, I DID THE REPAIR MYSELF. I COMPLETED THE JOB IN ABOUT 14 HOURS, PLUS THE EXPENSES OF THE PARTS. I DIDN'T SAVE MY RECEIPTS BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ANY REASON TO BELIEVE I WOULD NEED THEM. HOWEVER, I DID SAVE THE HEAD GASKET.SOME MONTHS LATER, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET STATING THIS WAS A FACTORY DEFECT AND WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE WORK. I PROCEED TO CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER WHO ISSUED ME A CASE # OF 06762207. THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD RECEIVE NOTHING WITHOUT A RECEIPT. ANY ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *AK
