3 Engine Exhaust System problem

Failure Date: 04/05/2011

I have a 2007 chevy siverado 4. 3 l v6 engine. The emissons system went crazy, first saying coolant temperature too low for engine,replaced thermostat that went bad,got stuck open. Light goes out. Next day light back on says evap solenoid vent has grooss leak. There r no replacemant parts for this failure come 2 find out after talking to dealer. U have to buy whole new solenoid vent system and add 5/8 heater hose to rerun the vent so dirt,dust and debris is harder to enter the vent. They say its a flaw in design so gm redesigned it and this is how to fix it. If they know its a bad design then they should pay for it to be replaced with their new design.
