General Motors Settles Class Action Lawsuit Over Coolant Dex-Cool
The General Motors settles lawsuit over the use of the coolant Dex Cool, which may effect the 1995 and 2004 model. GM faced allegations like: (i) Dex-Cool in the vehicles listed in the Notice caused problems with the vehicles’ engines or cooling systems, and (ii) that certain engine components, such as the nylon/silicone lower intake manifold gaskets installed in certain vehicles, among others. You are included in this proposed settlement if you own or lease or previously owned or leased any of the specified repairs related to the use of Dex-cool. Read below for details.
The settlement covers, intake manifold gasket failures, engine coolant sealing issues and sludge. However, the lawsuit is yet to be approved in the court. The settlement, covered by the lawsuit, covers the Group A, Group B and Group C vehicles. The lawsuit covers areas like replacement of failed nylon/silicone lower intake manifold gasket, repairs necessitated by engine coolant sealing among the other. Under the proposed settlement, GM will send cash reimbursements to class members who paid for Covered Repairs performed within seven years or 150,000 miles (whichever is earlier) after the original owner or lessee took delivery of the vehicle, and who submit timely and valid claims. However the amount of the cash is to be decided depending on the individual case, sources said.

Where and how do I file and be part of the class action lawsuit against GM requarding the Coolant Dex-Cool?

I owned a 1997 Buick Park Avenue and had the above mentioned manifold problem and it cost me a little over $1,000 to repair. I drove it another year after it was repaired and then traded it for a Buick Rendevous 2004. I already had a repair on it that cost over $200 and was to do with the heater/coolant. How do I file my claims for the reimbursment. I have the receipts for the work scanned and ready to file.

I have a recently purchased 2005 Pontaic Grand Prix, it had been a “program car”.
We have just realized that our car has had GM Dex-Cool, my husband was checking the radiator and for the first time in our car owner history, saw the
orangy think stuff. Our mechanic was horrified.
We found out that this is Dex-Cool, we are planning on flushing our system this weekend and we are hoping that there isn’t any further damage.
I’m written this because so far I havn’t found any place that I can file for
to be a part of the class action lawsuit against GM requarding the Coolant Dex-Cool.
Please point us in the right direction.
