| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Experienced coolant leak into engine. personal mechanic found that dex-cool had caused excessive corrosion to intake manifold and that gasket had to be replaced. spent in excess of $500 to repair this. other people i know say that if the corrosion was bad enough that the cam shaft might break. i am not willing to put my family's lives in jeopardy with an issue that gm is aware of. the fact thta nobody has died from this is no excuse not to recall the gm 3.4l engine vehicles to repair this problem at no cost to the consumer. also, the effectiveness of dex-cool needs to be re-evaluated with regards to performance and the affect on engine parts long-term. |
