The car said overheat-ac off code- car was very low on coolant- took to the dealer and was told by the dealer that the engine was blown and not to driive the car- I ask about service bulletin- but was told this did not apply. I had problem with overheating 18 months ago- replaced, thermostat, canister, etc as my expense. I ask if this was related and was told no. I researched problems and found many about engine and cooling problems. The dealer has made no effort to help resolve the issue. I tried to have car transferred to a different branch of dealership to have problem evaluated- I was informed by salesman that the dealer refused to transfer the car to have it checked. His seems very odd. I called GMC- Chevrolet division but have not gotten a response. The dealer wants me to trade in car for a different one and will offer me $300-$600. Which is ridiculous. After I trade in the car-no one can check it- the car still runs but I am afraid to get stuck.
There is a defect in the reservoir that holds the coolant that makes it unable to breath. The coolant is bubbling inside the reservoir because it isn't able to release the pressure which in turn is making the cars overheat. The manufacture just sees this normal but there are many videos on the internet off people going through the same thing.
Stabilitrak check engine light turned on car overheated and the car slowed down and turned off while on the highway in couldn't restart the car had it towed to the dealership and they wanted to charge for repairs which we are not going to pay for manufacturing defects I have a 2013 chevy cruise.
