I REACHED OVER AND FELT THE AIR COMING OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IT WAS EXTREMELY HOT!!! IF MY SON WOULD OF BEEN SITTING ON THE FRONT SEAT HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN BURNED BY THE HOT AIR! I PULLED OVER AND TRIED CLOSING THE VENTS AND TURNED OFF THE A/C BUT HOT AIR STILL CAME THROUGH THE VENTS.

YOU NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS AND GET IT RECALLED. *TR

I OWN A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 4X4. I HAVE A BROKEN REAR EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY 5.3 V8. I HEAR THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM. MY LOCAL DEALER WANTS $1,600 TO FIX IT BECAUSE YOU DO NEED TO PULL THE ALUMINUM HEAD TO REPAIR IT!! I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THE HEAD NEEDING TO BE PULLED, BUT I BELIEVE THAT GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THIS EXTREMELY COMMON AND ONGOING PROBLEM. IT IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT!! *TR

ON JULY 21 MY 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO OVERHEATED AND HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. THE PROBLEM WAS A DIRECT RESULT OF A CRACKED HEAD THAT LEAKED ALL OF THE ENGINE COOLANT INTO THE OIL PAN. THIS DEFECT IS A KNOWN DEFECT TO GM PER A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITEN THAT WAS ISSUED IN 2007. THE BULLITEN NUMBER IS #06-06-01-019B AND COVERS ENGINES MANUFACTURED FROM 2001 TO 2006. CHEVROLET HAS OFFERED TO ONLY REPLACE THE CRACKED HEADS WHICH DOES NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF THE COOLANT THAT ENTERED THE OIL SYSTEM WHICH CAN AND WILL CAUSE SEVERE SAFETY ISSUES LATER IN THE VEHICLES LIFE. *TT
