Description of the problem | 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. I purchased it in 2002. Is there any recall on this matter so i could be refunded the amount on this defect? |
