He said the radiator may have a crack and that the transmission fluid is leaking into it. He never tested the liquid. Looks and feels like oil to me. He never said he saw any damage, but he did say that the diagnosis came back saying that the radiator needs to be replaced. I had no check engine light on. And this car has never been in an accident.

Well can it be transmission fluid in the reservoir tank? The service advisor was very adamant about this being the cause. After they returned me the car I asked him was he sure and he replied with "100% sure". Although he predicted this before they even ran tests on it. My friend which is also a service advisor at a different dealer predicted the same thing. But he doesn't specialize in Chevy's They took the car to the back and I don't even know if the mechanics took anything apart. I'm sure they just hooked it up to the computer and did nothing else. All in all I was

Dealer told me that it was the radiator and that it is not covered in the powertrain warranty so quoted me for $860 plus tax and I had to pay $133 for the diagnostic fee which they will discount if I got the repairs done. Performance is suffering, makes clicking noises only when I put the gear in and exiting my parking lot at very slow speed. Also right after I left the dealership it has been jolting me and stalling then kicking me forward when I accelerate or getting up in the speed limit. So the vehicle got worse after I had them see it. To top it off they my tire was low on ai

I see that the car is still under Powertrain Warranty which should cover these repairs. Other warranty expired already. What should I know or take with me before I go to the dealership to have them repair/replace the engine ? I have records of all the oil changes. Will they give me a rental ? I don't know what to expect during this whole process, but ultimately I hope they car repair this without any out of pocket costs. I am not going to complain if I don't get a rental car or if they take around 3 weeks to fix this. But I just want to know what to expect. I see about

I think you're 100% right MTF1980. Today the a/c miraculously came back to life. It was raining a bit so I decided to turn it on and what do you know. It was blowing nice and cold. Lets hope it stays that way. I did flush out the overflow coolant tank because it seemed that the original owner accidentally mixed green with orange coolant and it created a gunky/sludgy dirty looking coolant. A few days after doing the flush the check engine light turned off/disappeared on its own. Let's hope this is the end of it. Me being upset I had alread

Yea I shouldn't try to bring this forum back to life. Thanks for the help.

I flushed out the coolant. How do I get the check engine light to turn off ?

Now the engine light came on so I took it to AutoZone to get a free diagnosis and the code PO128 came on saying something about coolant temperature running colder than normal levels. I did look in the coolant reservoir tank and it was about 2 inches below the minimum amount and it was really sludgy/gunky and a little dark or dirty with what appears to be little balls/solidified coolant floating. I added some coolant and smell the engine after a 30 minute drive and no odors or signs of overheating at all. Even the radiator fan shuts off after I shut off the vehicle. I wi

So last night I was driving and the AC was working perfect and then I floored it (accelerated fast) for about 5 Seconds and the AC immediately stopped throwing cold air. It turns on and it blows air but the air is hot. I checked to see if the heater works and it does it blows even hotter. I mess with all the dials and settings and still nothing but very warm air. It's unbearably hot and humid here in Miami Florida. I don't know what it could be I'm hoping it's just a fuse or something because the car is at 40000 miles and I believe it is not under warranty any

So tomorrow Tuesday June 6th would make a week since I've purchased the car from a private seller (original 1st owner) We met at a bank and she completely paid off the car with the money I gave her to fulfill the lean but they still have not removed the electronic lien from the title so therefore I still have not transferred the title under my name. The bank released the lein but the state/dmv/title said it takes about a week for it to be removed from the database.
