| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Bought brand new 2005 chevy equinox. bad odor coming from vents. dex cool is corroding cooling system, and engine. 17,000 miles have had it in 3 times for entire coolant system flush... still is un bearable. be aware this is not an isolated case. consequence- after extended drive (greater than 30 minutes) results in light-headedness, headache, or watery burning eyes. it leaves a film of antifreeze vapor on the windshield, on the inside. gm does not consider this vehicle inoperable. go figure. gm has done little to satisfy our needs, they pay for new hoses and flush- which obviously doesn't work. 900 dollars a pop, for the same result. parts repaired: 5 hoses (all of them) 3x, dex-cool 3x. safety is something they strive for at gm, what happened? *nm |
