| 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 $1,000.00, water pump $800.00 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? *tr | |||

| 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.*ak | |||

| Date given is the first incident. engine quits for no apparent reason. it has happened at different speeds and different weather conditions. dealer cannot find reason. contacted gm and they just called the dealer. i am fearful that it will happen on the freeway and will cause an accident and someone will get hurt. dealer says there is nothing they can do because they can't find the reason and they can't replace parts they don't think are broken. *ak | |||

| Vehicle shuts off while driving & will not restart. dealer has been unable to identify the cause. has replaced ecm & attached a vehicle data recorder in order to hopefully locate the source of trouble. i have been in dangerous situations, traveling at high speeds on busy roadways when the engine failure occurs. i am given no warning, nor am i able to restart the car. i have had the car towed 4 times & i just bought the car a month and a half ago. *ak | |||
