Heater Core out at 14k

anyone ever heard of a Heater Core going out at 14,000 miles on a SS. Mine went out today nearly choked me to death, soaked my carpet like they all do when they go out. I did make it to the Dealer without it over heating when it happened. but was about to puke by the time I got there from the smell and burning eyes. My car is under full warranty but I think they will have to replace the carpet I know they will try to not have to but that smell with never leave I know it.....

Too bad. I hear thats a big job. Push the health aspect re replacing the carpets. As far
as I know coolant/anti-freeze is toxic, unless the formula has been recently changed.

Search this forum. It's a known issue with the Gen5 cars.

I would not accept the car back unless the carpet AND the padding underneath are replaced during the repair.

ethylene glycol that used to poison animals is no longer toxic to animals in the formulation made now.

I had the joy of pulling a tube off and getting nice GM coolant all in my eyes and face.

Definitely smells like crap and makes you cry. Tell us what happens OP
