My mother just told me that there is a class action suit at www.dexcoolsettlement.com regarding dexcool coolant corroding the radiator and other parts due to this coolant. According to this complaint, GMC does not admit fault. I have a 1999 Jimmy that has 114,000 miles, and in the last month I've had to replace the radiator $1,000, water pump $800 and now they want me to replace the intake manifold gaskets $700. According to the suit you have to have had this problem within the first seven years of the delivery date. Unfortunately I took delivery after the lease was up at 36,000 miles. I purchased it in 2002. Is there any recall on this matter so I could be refunded the amount on this defect?

Vehicle stopped without any reason and was unable to restart it. This is a hazard if it had occurred on a freeway or other fast moving highway. It seems this is a cronic problem with this vehicle as there are several other complaints filed. It is time that GMC determine what causes this problem and corrects it. At this time the vehicle is still at the garage and I don't know what they say wil be the problem.
