Consumer Description

MY 1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER HAS HAD REGULAR PROBLEMS WITH THE COOLING SYSTEM NOT PROVIDING HEAT TO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE IS RUNNING AT PROPER TEMP. THE HEATER CORE IS CONTINUALLY CLOGGING UP REQUIRING REGULAR TRIPS TO THE DEALER TO "FLUSH" THE HEATER CORE THAT IS PLUGGED. I UNDERSTAND FROM SEARCHING THE INTERNET THIS IS DUE TO THE DEX-COOL ANTIFREEZE THAT GM PUTS IN THE CAR AND THAT THERE ARE LAWSUITS AGAINST GM REGARDING THIS. THE LAST TIME I HAD THIS DONE THE DEALER TOLD ME IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN THAT A NEW CORE WOULD HAVE TO BE INSTALLED AT A COST OF $650+. THE CORE IS NOW PLUGGED ONCE AGAIN.*AK
