Its not that the cores are failing, the design nightmare is the problem.

The root problem is that the heater core is failing.
The poor design only highlights the problem of the heater core. Derrick |

Yes.....I had my heater core replaced this past July...I think. 2011 1LT with only 48k on it...No way!! After enough complaining to GM and especially the dealer, because I had taken it to them three times before for antifreeze odor inside the vehicle and they found nothing, the dealer decided to eat the cost...they said they'd work it out with GM. Since then, no issues. But yes, car was gone for a week and everything had to be removed, including the windshield.

One of the more common problems for our cars it seems. Calls for 6.4 hours

I'd like I meet the bright engineer that designed this great heater core and thought that the lifespan of 3-5 years is acceptable. Idiot.

I have a 2011 SS I've been searching and haven't been able to clarify is this a v6 only problem or it affects the v8 as well?
