TW> The lawsuit stems from a 2008 settlement. GM agreed to pay up to 35 TW> million vehicle owners as much as $800 for engine and cooling system TW> failures linked to its "Dex-Cool" system. Most of the claims were TW> settled prior to GM's 2009 bankruptcy, but some owners were left without TW> compensation. I do remember reading about that lawsuit, but never received anything. My 2002 Monte Carlo should have been part of that settlement. The did work with me the first time I had problems, however. It would have cost $1500 to replace the lower intake gasket back when my car had only 65k on it and was leaking antifreeze (Dex-Cool). I use the work "leak" loosely - as it was streaming out all around the lower intake gasket like a waterfall. I couldn't drive more than 20 miles and would be low on antifreeze after just refilling it. The did all the work for $300 at the dealership. Naturally, they still used Dex-Cool again (before I knew any better), and I had another leak in the lower intake gasket again with 146k on it. I now have a rebuilt Jasper motor with the good old "Yellow" antifreeze. Just went over 165k yesterday. - Mark --- WWIVToss v.1.50* Origin: http://www.weather-station.org * Bel Air, MD -USA (1:261/1304.0) SEEN-BY: 3/0 633/267 640/954 712/0 313 550 620 848 953 @PATH: 261/1304 1 266/512 140/1 261/38 712/848 633/267 |
