Mine failed yesterday....
Car was towed to dealer. It was built Oct 2009...9,500 miles. Dealer said they repaired 3 yesterday. I won't pick it up until tomorrow or the next day so don't have a receipt with codes.

With Dr Volkl's vote change...we are running a 30.6% failure rate on manufacturing dates on/before February.
Do you the folks from AoA who frequent this forum find this failure rate interesting?
I had an Acadia a couple years ago and there were 3 GM representatives who were active members on the forum. One from their customer relations area and 2 from the engineering team who developed the vehicle. They brought in a third engineer who worked on tuning the engine/tranny who took valuable input from the forum and they released a new engine tune/tranny shift SW update based on this feedback.
I'm sure someone from AoA visits this forum...so far I don't know who they are or if they would be open to addressing this water pump with us in public.
Yes...that's an offer AoA.
