Consumer Description

MY 1996 CHEVROLET BLAZER WITH LESS THAN 53,000 MILES HAS NO HEAT AND STARTED OVERHEATING. I TOOK IT FOR SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEXCOOL THAT WAS GUARANTEED FOR 100,000 MILES HAD FAILED. THE RADIATOR WAS PARTIALLY BLOCKED AND THE HEATER CORE WAS BLOCKED. BOTH THE RADIATOR AND THE HEATER CORE NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE SLUDGE AND RUST THAT WAS IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. *LA
