Consumer Description

THE PROBLEM IM NOTICING IS THAT MY CAR HAS DEXCOOL IN IT. I HAVE NOTICED IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS THAT MY CAR RUNS A LITTLE HOTTER THAN NORMAL. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE COOLANT RESIVOIR LOOKS ALL CORRODED. IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THIS COOLANT IN THE RESIVOIR IT LOOKS REALLY CLUMPY AND SEEMS TO HAVE SOME RUST IN IT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2000 . IT'S A 2000 CHEVY IMPALA. AND THE BAD THING ABOUT IT IS THAT CHEVY STANDS BY THIS COOLANT SAYING" IT'S GOOD FOR 115,000 OR SO OR 3 YEARS." I TOTALLY DISAGREE. I HAVE DID MY OWN RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER AND FOUND THAT THERE IS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING TO PAY BIG$$$ TO HAVE REPAIRS DONE THAT ARE CAUSED BY THIS COOLANT CORRODING INSIDE THE ENGINE. CHEVY SHOULD RECALL THIS JUNK, SUCK UP ANY REPAIR COST. I NEED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM ADDRESSED.
