2 Radiator problem of the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado

Failure Date: 02/01/2013

2009 chevy Silverado lost traction on highway during slippery road conditions, vehicle spun out and hit a metal roped fence head on and also went across the median and slammed the front end of vehicle into a guard rail stopping it instantly from going into on coming traffic. The vehicles damage was on the front end directly in the center causing a wedge into the radiator, engine and bent the front of the frame. The impact was very loud and solid. The impact caused the truck to stand on the front of vehicle, slamming the back end of the vehicle on the ground with great force. The airbag didn't deploy which at the speed of around 60 mph and the place the vehicle was hit in, makes me very concerned on the safety of this vehicle. My 5 year old son said his right arm was hurting after the accident and with in the hour of having the accident myself ended up in the hospital with a stiff neck and a very soar and bruised back, I was released with minor injuries and I consider myself lucky. Please let me know if anything can be done about this situation and the safety of myself and my son.

4 Radiator problem of the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado

Failure Date: 03/25/2005

Truck has 11000 miles, been in the shop 5 times for over heating while towing. Gm technician line has a case # on file, and told the technician who relayed the information to myself that they were aware of the problem but at this time have no fix. I call bs because the 06 models have revised cooling systems and a larger turbo charger. My belief is the fix is to much $$ and they will only take care of the few people that tow and have issues. I have notice a lot of information on the net about 04. 5 and 05 lly duramax truck that tow over 10000 have this issue. The major down side is the trucks inability to maintain the speed limit due to the 234* plus water temperature and the power loss formed a cooling fan that runs no stop when towing. I have made the same pull with my 2001 Chevrolet duramax truck and have not had issues with impeding traffic flow.
