1997 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review from North America
"The car is not bad, except for a coolant leak"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaking coolant for 7 years. Can't find the source. Assume it is related to the intake gasket. Leak is found in other GM models as well and in prior model years. It is ridiculous that GM will not fix this under warranty.
General comments?
Besides the coolant leak, I have been satisfied with the performance of the vehicle. I will not purchase another GM vehicle based on the lack of responsiveness from the manufacturer.
