Description of the problem | The thermostat housing blew apart and i was 75 miles away from home on a sunday. I replaced it with and 12 days later it blew apart again. My car has been in a reliable garage now for 2 weeks and they can't get the part. No local dealers have the part and the warehouse is "out of stock". I had a 7 year old child in my car. This should have been a recall by gm and i intend to go as far as the ceo if i have to. This is costing me a great deal of money to rent a car. I want my money back from gm along with a letter of apology. Shame on them. |
