Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Engine began overheating and took it to our mechanic who replaced the water pump. Engine continued to overheat and same mechanic replaced all of the upper seals. Eventually, a pressure test and camera insert by my mechanic confirmed a blown head gasket. Confirmed that result with pepe Cadillac in white plains, ny. Checked the price to have the head gaskets replaced, but since this engine has to be removed from the bottom of the vehicle, the costs are outrageous and the only acceptable fix for these aluminum heads are bolts rather than the GM serts. …”
