Consumer Description

WE HAVE SPENT 3 YEARS FLUSHING RADIATOR WITH DEXCOOL--STILL HAVING OVERHEATING WHICH CAUSES PROBLEMS WITH OUR TRANSMISSION--EVERY TIME SEEING SLUDGE IN OVERFLOW TANK WITHIN A MONTH AFTER FRESH FLUSH--THIS MONTH WE HAVE REPLACED WATER PUMP, AND REPLACING RADIATOR, OIL COOLER, AND GOING BACK TO REGULAR GREEN ANTIFREEZE AFTER HEARING OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND WORSE IN CHEVROLET MODELS USING DEXCOOL!! UNKNOWN IF DAMAGE HAS BEEN CAUSED TO TRANSMISSION FOR 3 SUMMERS OF OVERHEATING...CAN'T DRIVE IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC SAFELY IN WARM WEATHER KNOWING THAT COOLING SYSTEM/TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL IN THOSE CONDITIONS. WE'VE SPENT SEVERAL HOURS STOPPED UNDER SHADE TREES TO LET ENGINE COOL DOWN ENOUGH TO GET TO DESTINATION. *JB
