4.3L V6 WT 2012 CHEVY 1500 4WD VEHICLE DRIVES FINE, GOOD TEMPERATURES AND THEN WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE SHOWS A WARNING MESSAGE THAT THE ENGINE IS TOO HOT AND THAT THE A/C WAS FORCED OFF BY THE TRUCKS COMPUTER SYSTEM AND SENDS THE TEMP GAUGE TO 160 AND WILL NOT MOVE. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER INSTALLED THERMOSTAT THAT IF NOT DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY SEND THE COOLING FANS AND RADIATOR FAN(S)(AS MINE HAS A OEM FROM THE DEALER AUXILLARY TRANSMISSION COOLER AT FULL SPEEDS. THE RISK OF THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AS IT CAN CAUSE THE FANS AND COOLANT TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLES AND ALSO NOT LET AN ACCURATE READOUT OF ENGINE TEMPS TO LET THEM KNOW OF ACTUAL ISSUES PRESENT. CODE IS CODE P01028 THAT GETS STORED BUT THE ISSUE IS IN THE THERMOSTATS THAT THE THRESHOLD FOR AN ENGINE THAT DOESN'T REACH IT'S CUTOFF VALUE SHUTS IT DOWN.

STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY/WIPER
I BOUGHT MY 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TEXAS EDITION ON, MAY 26, 2012, FROM CLASSIC CHEVROLET OF GRAPEVINE, TEXAS. I PAID $31,622.80 FOR THE TRUCK. I FEEL THAT A NEW VEHICLE SOLD IN AMERICA SHOULD HAVE AN IMPLIED WARRANTY ATTACHED TO IT THAT GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND EXPRESS WARRANTIES WHEN IT COMES TO THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY. AFTER TWO YEARS AS AN OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED A STAIN ON MY REAR CARPET. THE MORE I RUBBED IT THE MORE IT SPREAD. I FIGURED THAT ONE OF MY GRAND CHILDREN PROBABLY SPILLED SOMETHING AND SO I JUST DECIDED TO TRY TO LIVE WITH IT. IN LATE 2019 I NOTICED THAT MY CARPET BEHIND MY DRIVER'S SEAT WAS WET AFTER A HEAVY RAIN. SO I TOWEL DRIED IT AND TOOK A PAPER RECEIPT FROM MY CONSOLE AND ATTEMPTED TO ADJUST THE HEADER PRESSURE ON THE REAR DOOR BY STRIKING THE ROCKER PANEL STRIKER. THIS YEAR I TOOK A TRIP TO KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI IN FEBRUARY. I FOUND MYSELF HAVING TO DRIVE UNDER RAINY, MISTING, WINDSHIELD, FREEZING AND FOGGING, UP. MY DEFROSTER WAS NO MATCH FOR IT BECAUSE IT NEVER WAS ABLE TO CLEAR MY WINDSHIELD SUFFICIENTLY. ON THE WAY BACK TO TEXAS I LEFT K.C. AT 4:00 AM. THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER WAS STILL PERSISTING. MY BLOOD PRESSURE AND HEARTBEAT RACED A FEW TIMES WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE AHEAD OF TRUCKS TO AVOID THE SPLASHING FROM THEIR WAKE. IN JUNE I DISCOVERED POOLING OF WATER BEHIND MY DRIVER'S SEAT. IT WAS SO RIDICULOUS I HAD TO TAKE IT TO CLASSIC. AFTER 3 HOURS IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE SERVICE MANAGER RETURNED TO ME AND ESCORTED ME TO THE TECHNICIAN. THE TECH SHOWED ME THAT THE WATER WAS COMING FROM AN UNSEALED OVERLAP AT MY FIREWALL. HE EXPLAINED THAT THE LEAK'S BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME. THIS AREA AT THE TOP OF YOUR FENDER IS WHERE THE WATER IS ENTERING AND IT FILLS UP AN AREA INSIDE YOUR FINDER AND THEN IT LEAKS THROUGH YOUR FIREWALL AND RUNS DOWN YOUR ROCKER AND SETTLES AT THE BACK SEAT WELL. THAT REPORT COST ME $145.00.*DT*JB*JB

DASHBOARD CRACKED AT PASSENGER AIRBAG AREA WHEN TRUCK HAD LESS THAN 25,000. CHEVROLET REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. AT ABOUT 100,000 THE DASHBOARD CRACKED IN THE SAME EXACT LOCATION. CONCERNED THAT BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION OF THE CRACK IT MAY EFFECT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. EVERYONE I KNOW WITH THIS TRUCK IN THE 2011 - 2012 MODELS HAS THE SAME EXACT CRACK IN THE SAME EXACT LOCATION. *TR
