GENERAL MOTORS DEX-COOL RUINED OUR COOLING SYSTEM IN OUR 97 CHEVY VENTURE. HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE COOLING SYSTEM AND NOW CRANKSHAFT HAS GONE BAD. WE HAVE SPENT OVER $2000 IN REPAIRS. VAN STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AT 80,000MILES. VAN ONLY HAS 110,000 MILES. WE ARE OVERWHELMED AND EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED. WE WOULD HAVE REPLACE THE COOLANT IF WE WOULD HAVE KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THE DEX-COOL CAUSED. WE FEEL WE HAVE BEEN DENIED VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO MAINTAINING OUR VEHICLE. CONSUMERS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH DEX-COOL COOLANT!!!!!!! *TR

THIS TRUCK IS A 1997 MODEL I PURCHASED IN MAY 1998 FROM TOM TAYLOR CHEVROLET IN MARTIN, TENNESSEE. WITHIN 3 MONTHS I HAD TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK (BEFORE THE 6-MONTH WARRENTY INSPECTION) BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT PULL THE TRUCK. SINCE THEN I'VE HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION INCLUDING TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE, EVEN AT STOP SIGNS, WITH ACCELERATOR PRESSED DOWN AND AT INCREASED RPM'S. HAVE TO SHIFT MANUALLY. TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN SHIFTING AND WILL NOT SHEFT INTO OVERDRIVE. THIS HAS NEARLY GOT ME INJURED OR KILLED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION.

WHEN THE CAR IS RUNING FOR MORE THAT ONE HR THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON, WHEN I STOP AND TRY TO LEAVE THE CAR IS MOVED WITH LOSS OF DRIVE. I CHANGE NEW TRANSMISSION FROM THE SAME DATE, BUT NOTHING CHANGED,EVERY TIME THE LIGHT COME ON THE READING IN THE COMPUTER SCANER, ALWAYS IS A FAULT IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE SHOP CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE SHOP JUST RESET THE LIGHT. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE PROBLEM.
