Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD TO REPAIR/REPLACE MY COOLING SYSTEM TWICE, AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I OWN A 2003 CHEVY MONTE CARLO. DEXCOOL COOLANT WHICH IS THE ONLY COOLANT RECOMMENDED FOR GM CARS IS ALL THAT I HAVE USED SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR (BOUGHT NEW). THERE IS A RECALL ON DEXCOOL THAT IS UNDER LITIGATION, HOWEVER, MY MANIFOLD IS NOW CRACKED FROM THE DEXCOOL GUNKING MY ENGINE. ONCE AGAIN, I AM STUCK WITH THE BILL. GM IS DENYING THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP- I AM OUT OF MONEY, AND A CAR. *TR
