Bulletin no pi1513f describes an issue with chevy silverados (amongst other models) and the radiators leaking due to over cycling of the thermostat. I have a 2018 that is barely 2 years old, and a leaking radiator! gm is doing nothing to own up to this issue, and they are expecting me to pay the entirety for a replacement, and I don't even have confidence it won't happen again. This bulletin should be extended to cover all years until gm proves they have a solution in place. It is completely unethical for gm to not address this issue and expect me to put this much money into a brand new truck. I slowly began to notice the coolant reservoir going down. I eventually brought it to my dealership (twice), and on the second visit they found the leak, although mileage was over the bumper to bumper warranty during the second visit. It is a very slow leak.
The plastic radiator has cracked and is leaking coolant heavily. Truck still under powertrain warranty by gm is only offering to cover 20% of the $1,823 repair cost. I noticed it when stopped to get gas, the vehicle leaking approximately 1. 5 gallons of coolant while stopped for approximately 3 minutes. This caused the vehicle to overheat and needed to add coolant just to drive to shop.
Its a brand new pickup track when I got it after one year a issue came up with caramel looks like leaking under the truck, radiator coolant got mix with engine oil. No warning light , engine might overheat or engine might lockup. The dealer replaced the radiator and just flush the line. I heard so many complaint about this issue. But never heard any recalled.
