2 Radiator problem

Failure Date: 08/22/2020

There is a small pin hole in the radiator that the dealership advised was created because of a problem with the thermostat. Apparently gm is aware of the problem and will fix it if it's prior to 60,000 miles. I am several thousand over now and they refuse to cover any of the 1100. 00 bill to repair.
