ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
FAILURE OF 100,000-MILE "DEX-COOL" COOLING SYSTEM AT 59,000 MILES RESULTED IN VEHICLE OVERHEATING. THE "DEX-COOL" SYSTEM FAILURE HAS ALSO RESULTED IN MASSIVE ELECTROLYSIS/RUST WITHIN THE COOLING SYSTEM. NEITHER DEALER NOR GM WANTS TO STAND BEHIND THE 100,000-MILE DEX-COOL SYSTEM LIFE EXPECTANCY. NUMEROUS GM CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS AND SERVICE WRITERS AT OTHER DEALERS HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE "DEX-COOL" SYSTEM AND IS THE RESULT OF AN INFERIOR PRODUCT, AND GM ADMITS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. *AK

#706637May 18, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)
IN FEBRUARY 1999 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET STATING THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ENGINE PROBLEM CAUSING THE EGR VALVE TO "STICK(S), OR FOREIGN MATERIAL HOLDS THE VALVE OPEN OR CLOSED." I RECEIVED THIS LETTER AFTER MY THIRD REPLACEMENT OF THE EGR VALVE. THEY ARE NOT RECALLING THE VEHICLE, BUT MERELY PROVIDING A WARRANTY FOR THE EGR VALVE REPLACEMENT UP TO 7 YRS./75000 MILES. THIS DOES NOT FIXED THE ACTUAL DEFECT OF THE VEHICLE. INHERENTLY, AFTER 75000 MILES THE VEHICLE WILL STILL BE DEFECTIVE AND THEY ARE REFUSING REPLACEMENT OR REIMBURSEMENT OF A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THE LETTER IS CODED WITH C98066 ABOVE THE DATE. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO FAX A COPY AT YOUR REQUEST. AND I WILL CONTINUE TO PURSUE JUSTICE FROM GENERAL MOTORS. JERI AANONSON. *AK

#705688April 16, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)
THIS IS A FOLLOWUP TO A PREVIOUSLY REPORTED PROBLEM. THE SERVICE LITE HAS INTERMITTENTLY COME ON ONTHIS VEHICLE SINCE THE 40K RANGE . THE EGR VALVE,AN INJECTOR AND VARIOUS INCIDENTAL PARTS WERE REPLACED IN NOVEMBER,1998 AT 78000 MILES DURING TWO SEPARATE SERVICE VISITS . THE VEHICLE AGAIN EXPERIENCE IDENTICAL PROBLEMS IN APRIL 1999 AT 84000 MILES WHICH INCLUDE ROUGH RUNNING AND STALLING AT SLOW SPEEDS AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AGAIN COMING DURING THE ROUGH RUNNING PERIODS. THE VEIHCLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO FIRST REPLACED THE SENSOR-OX(PART #102) THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND 3 DAYS LATTER A NEW EGR VALVE HAD TO BE INSTALED ON 4/16/99. DUE TO THESE REPEATED PROBLEMS I FEEL IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE SINCE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE PROBLEM WILL REOCCUR AND THE VECLE WILL AGAIN STALL AND RUN ROUGH, MAKING IT AN ADVENTURE WHEN YOU ARE SLOWING OR ATTEMPTING TO MERGE IN TRAFFIC.
