What owners wrote
While trying to Jumpstart the battery the factory gm battery exploded send battery acid flying everywhere. Causing chemical burns. Ring Video available of incident.
The truck was issued a recall for the engine blocker heater which was performed. Since that recall was performed I keep getting low coolant warnings on the dash in error. The vehicles was taken back to dealer and everything was checked. They refilled the system just incase there was an air pocket but they warned me about 4 out of 10 people that have the recall performed continually get a low coolant light. The truck was fine for 2 months and now I'm back to having the low coolant light on.
