Consumer Description

CONTAMINATION OF COOLING SYSTEM DUE TO DEX-COOL. ENTIRE SYSTEM MUST BE FLUSHED AND HEATER CORE REPLACED. CHEVROLET MOTOR DIV. HAS OFFERED TO PAY FOR HALF THE COST, ALTHOUGH IT IS NO LONGER UNDER THEIR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH DEX-COOL AND THEY ARE NOT RESPONDING TO IT, AS THEY CLAIM THAT IT SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE CHANGED FOR 5 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE CONTAMINATION AFTER BRINGING MY CAR IN FOR A SLOSHING, GURGLING SOUND UNDER THE DASH. *AK
