TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A COOLANT SMELL WOULD EMIT FROM THE VEHICLE UPON EXIT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE HAD BEGAN TO LOSE COOLANT AT AN ABNORMAL RATE AND HAD TO BE FREQUENTLY REPLACED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MCCONNELL AUTOMOTIVE (3150 DAUPHIN ST, MOBILE, AL 36606) WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE RADIATOR WHICH RESULTED IN A COOLANT LEAK. HE WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VIN AND THAT THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE SAME INFORMATION AS THE DEALER.

AT 55000 MILES THE RADIATOR STARTED TOO LEAK GM WOULD ONLY PAY 250.00 DOLLARS OF THE 876.00 IT COST

WHILE DRIVING WITH THE ROADS IN A WET CONDITION, FOR VARIOUS LENGTHS OF TIME, AND IN DIFFERENT MANEUVERS, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL START FLASHING AND THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO LOSE POWER. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO SOLID AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE LOSES MORE POWER. ON BRAKING, JUST BEFORE THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, THERE IS A CLUNK IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE VEHICLE LURCHES. THIS HAS OCCURRED 6 TIMES IN THE LAST 14 MONTHS. UPON INVESTIGATION, TROUBLE CODE P0308 SHOWS IN THE OBD TOOL. THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPRODUCE BY THE DEALERSHIP SO THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY RESOLUTION, JUST THOUGHTS.

THE RADIATOR IS LEAKING COOLANT WITHOUT ANY REAL CAUSE AND I WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE RADIATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

I HAVE HAD MY GMC SIERRA 1500 FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS. I HAVE A LITTLE UNDER 59,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. A FEW THOUSAND MILES AGO A TECH AT THE GM DEALER LET ME KNOW THAT THEY HAD TO ADD SOME COOLANT AND IT WAS SOMETHING I SHOULD KEEP AN EYE ON. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO HAVE THEM LOOK INTO IT. THEY LET ME KNOW THAT THE RADIATOR HAS A SMALL LEAK. IT IS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO HAVE FLUID HIT THE GROUND IN MY GARAGE BUT IT IS LOOSING FLUID. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WOULD COST A GOOD AMOUNT TO FIX. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR UNDER 3 YEARS AND HAVE HAD 5 ISSUES WITHOUT ANY OF THEM BEING COVERED BY WARRANTY. THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE A LEMON.
