MY MOTHER JUST TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AT WWW.DEXCOOLSETTLEMENT.COM REGARDING DEXCOOL COOLANT CORRODING THE RADIATOR AND OTHER PARTS DUE TO THIS COOLANT. ACCORDING TO THIS COMPLAINT, GMC DOES NOT ADMIT FAULT. I HAVE A 1999 JIMMY THAT HAS 114,000 MILES, AND IN THE LAST MONTH I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR $1,000.00, WATER PUMP $800.00 AND NOW THEY WANT ME TO REPLACE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS $700. ACCORDING TO THE SUIT YOU HAVE TO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITHIN THE FIRST SEVEN YEARS OF THE DELIVERY DATE. UNFORTUNATELY I TOOK DELIVERY AFTER THE LEASE WAS UP AT 36,000 MILES.
