There appears to be an issue with GM's Dex-Cool engine coolant. Consumers
have had problems with the cost of repairs as a result of the Dex-Cool
antifreeze not working as it was supposed to.  If you check out
http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/case/dexcool2 they have the information
and what you can do about it. There is also a free case evaluation for those
who have had problems with this product. I hope this might be of some help.

Problem is the people that don't follow recommended flush intervals.

The Malibu I used to have had the recommendation in the manual of 5 years or
100K miles before a coolant flush.  My guess is that people should NOT
follow the recommended flush intervals and actually do it with greater
frequency than recommended.

I think you are right James.
I meant that some cars never get flushed at all.
My trucks manual syas 60 months or 150,000 miles.

But the intake manifold gaskets usually fail before that time anyway, so
it gets flushed one way or another :)

Another lawyer group looking for a pork belly handout. If these frivolous
lawsuits aren't stopped by congress there will be nothing produced in this
country and we all will be on the bread lines...
