    Received a letter from gm that my car might have a leaking water pump seal. (it does because i have had to add coolant) . The letter states that for the next 2 years chevy will add coolant as needed. Why not recall the car and replace the water pump. It is not going to magically stop leaking in 2 years. *tr
