The dealer determined that the radiator, thermostat, and the coolant lines needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered under GMC special coverage number: n15170099. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.

Thermostat caused stress fractures in radiator. The first time it happened was in 2018, I had the radiator and thermostat replaced. I now had to replace the radiator and thermostat for the second time in 2020.

Radiator has stress cracks in the upper left corner. The dealer has done water pump replacement and thermostats upgrade. Dealer has replaced radiator 3 times and I have paid labor and parts. The cracks occur about every 2 years.

2014 Silverado 1500 quality issues my 2014 Silverado 1500 needs a new $1,840 radiator/oil cooler. The truck has 48,000 miles purchased new 5+ years ago, so it exceeds the 5 year warranty period. At my last 5,000 mile oil change, the oil was found to be 2 quarts low with oil in the coolant. Gm has refused (twice) to assist in the cost of repairs because I did not use a gm auto service for my oil changes. I had the oil changed every 5,000 miles with durablend by an independent quick oil change service, a mileage that exceeds the gm 7,500 mileage recommendation. I explained to gm ceo mary bara that I was upset with this decision - a truck with 48,000 miles should not have this problem and that gm is not assuming responsibility for its quality problems. I further advised that I would share my experience with others. Less than six months ago the brake booster pump had to be replaced - but luckily it was under warranty. The truck has had multiple recalls. Now the gm service department is charging me $147 to diagnose the problem because I'm not engaging them to do the repair. My conclusion is that this truck has chronic quality problems. This appears to be a common problem after checking internet -also a friend had a similar problem with yukon. Obviously it will be the last gm vehicle I own.

My brakes are not stopping properly, I was advised it was a safety issue and could cause a traffic accident. My radiator also had began to leak from the front of my hood.

In less than a year that I have owned it the welds on the radiator cracked open the welds cracked open on the ac condenser the transmission had to be rebuilt from something exploding inside and sharding metal everywhere and I have also had my vacuum pump go out which has shot metal into my engine and almost caused a crash when it first started going out I didn't realize what it was and almost crashed a few times on the way home .

Noticed coolant steam weeping out of the front grill. Origin of leak is radiator. There is a special coverage from gm for this issue, 15829.

Some 2014 model year Chevrolet silverado ld and GMC sierra ld vehicles equipped with 5. 3l or 6. 2l engines (rpo l83 or l86), may have a condition in which the cycling of the thermostat may result in stress fractures on the radiator, and may lead to coolant leaks.

2014 chevy silverado lt with 27,000 miles. Noticed coolant smell near front of truck after driving it. I looked on line and found several sources complaining about the same issue with coolant leak. I took my truck into the dealership to check coolant leak. They found out the radiator was cracked and told me gm has an issue with the thermostat overcycling causing the radiator to develop stress cracks and leak coolant. My truck however was pass the 36 month bumper to bumper warranty and my truck doesn't fall under their special coverage bulletin 15829 to fix this issue for 5 years or 100,000 miles. Quoted around $900 to $1,000 to replace thermostat with a new version that will not stress crack the radiator and new radiator (same part as original) is put in the truck. So if gm knows they have a problem but will only fix certain vehicles that have the same faulty thermostat. How is this right?.
