Too bad, GM will get there ass sued over this. This is one of the reasons that the "BIG" automaker is losing ground on the market. Too bad loved GM now time to check out imports that are out there.

Impala

It started out with just the coolant light night turning off, to can't drive 5 minutes in even cold weather with out it overheating. I have a daily puddle of pricey coolant on my driveway. Not very ecofriendly to say the least. Added my name to a class action movement.
