I was notified that it should not be driven until I receive notice when the service parts become available. I am wonder what my next step should be in resolving this matter since there are several recalls that apply. My vehicle is constantly leaking engine oil, fluids causing it to over heat. I was informed that it is part of GM recall 15757 among various others.”
NHTSA complaint #10811520, filed 2015-12“Back in may of 2003 I noticed water in the passenger side of car in the well. I thought it was a leak in the winshield because I had another car that had a leak and it was the winshield. The autoglass dealer told me it was the vent system and not the winshield. Since then, the air conditioning has just stopped working. I am about to take the car to the dealer but I don't know if it is worth the cost of fixing, do you have any advice?”
