Vehicle overheated, engine went into protect mode, driver info center directed me to shut down vehicle, I pulled off to the side of the road promptly and shut vehicle down. I waited for 15 minutes, turned ignition to on position, and it read it was cooled down enough to drive. I took off onto the road again, a half a mile later, I had to do the same thing. I waited 30 minutes for a some one to meet me at the location, this person restarted the vehicle and drove it 2 miles to my house, where it overheated again in the driveway. After replacing the water pump, belts, thermostat, and radiator, it was discovered that the head bolts were indeed what was causing the vehicle to overheat. The mechanic found that they were at the incorrect torque and that there was combustion chemicals in the cooling system. I now am replacing the gaskets, bolts, and may have to get the heads machined, but work has not been completed on the vehicle as of yet.

I had antifreeze leaking from my Cadillac Deville and took it to a mechanic that I have a lot of trust in. I expected to hear I had a bad radiator and would have to replace it. Instead he called me and told me that gm has a bad design defect with the materials they used on the head bolts to hold the motor. They deteriorate because of this and strip out causing pressure on the radiator and it cracks. All this is a result of using aluminum instead of steal. The mechanic said he see the same thing every other week and to date gm has not done anything about it. I called gm and they blew me off. They gave me a file number of 1-380-399-885.
