Well, the leading edge has a very nice, sharp point - sitting right against the AC line, which has now made a sweet incision in the line.
I wonder if I could claim it as a design issue and have my local dealer replace the line under warranty? YA RIGHT!!!
I just ordered an aluminum brazing kit to repair it. And that leading edge is gonna meet a BFH and be beat to a pulp!!!!! Wish I had a pic of the design engineer, I'd put his face on it!  |
don't forget GM engineers design these to go 10 yrs and 120,000mi . then they expect these problems to occur, this is so you will buy a new vehicle. Its just not in THEIR best interest to design these vehicles to last ... the ac line failing is not a saftey issue. the brake lines rust out after only a few years up here in the rust belt yet no recall and they continue to use inferior quality materials.
