Description of the problem | On my 2011 chevy cruze i have noticed that my radiator coolant tank has been leaking out antifreeze. I have noticed that in may 7th 2013. I had it taken into the dealer and it got fixed by the dealer on date listed. I have continued to buy more of the special brand of coolant and just been filling it up without having to go to the dealer because then i have no vehicle to drive. Last night on 1/11/14 i put more antifreeze in the vehicle and was going to check on it the next morning. I noticed that on 1/12/14 the next day that the radiator coolant tank was almost empty after filling it up all the way last night. Looking around my father and i saw antifreeze sitting on the transmission and no hoses are leaking. It is being taken into the dealer again on 1/13/14 for this issue again. I have filled a complaint with gm and got a case #. Gm customer service notified me that if this happens again after being taken to the dealership to call them again. My fathers guess is that the pressure in that tank is 20psi and since the hose does not appear to leak that the anti freeze from the radiator coolant tank is coming out of the tank from the pressure cap. |
