Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My car had to have the thermostat, pleninum gasket, intake gasket, egr gasket, valve cover gaskets replaced for the second time since i have had this car. i was told that it was because of the dex-cool antifreeze that is used in these cars warps the gaskets and seals. i am very disappointed that this has happened to my car. i do not have the money to be replacing these gaskets twice. i would like gm to reimburse me some of my finances that have cost to have this problem fixed for the second time. this time it cost me $222.00 for a rental car and $976.00 for repairs. *jb
