2004 Chevrolet TAHOE Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Model Year	2004
File date	31/01/14
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The tahoe has known faulty castech cylinders which cause coolant to leak with no explanation. Over the winter i have had unexplained coolant/antifreeze issue with no found leaks (coolant would be bone dry after a couple weeks of filling it). I was told the issue is probably caused by the faulty porous cylinder heads made by castech installed in gm's from 2001 - 2006. This tahoe has a total of 80,000 miles now and experiencing issues due to known faulty parts installed by gm. Chevrolet has to be aware of the danger they are putting their customers in by not having a recall of a faulty part located in the engine. How there has not been a recall i do not understand. How chevrolet expect the customer to pay 3-4k to replace their faulty head is ludicrous.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
