problem #2

Dec 232008

Malibu LS 3.1L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 81,000 miles

Had the same problem as most of the people listed here. Went and put DEX-COOL anti-freeze in my vehicle about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Just in the past few days after replenishing the coolant as it constantly was lost after 4-6 weeks but this time quite sooner, my radiator light is flashing and WILL NOT go out. Googled the problem and 'lo and behold I see that this is a reoccurring problem due to the nylon/silicone intake gaskets GM installed when fabricating this vehicle. The car isn't overheating but the annoying light is driving me crazy as one becomes paranoid seeing it on.

I noticed that GM settled but $50 towards an $800 repair for an 8 year old car because a recall for the gasket should have been made years ago is crazy! Last time I buy anything GM after 1973!!!
