While in the dealership for an oil change at 45,000 miles the service mgr suggested that I might want to have the gaskets changed as they saw a leak. Of course I thought it was just another fund raising effort for GM. Anyhow I googled the problem, stumbled across Car Complants.com,, started reading the Impala horror show on internal coolant leaks that caused thousands of $$$ in damage and mega-frustration. So, I decided on my next visit to take them up on the gasket and seal changeout but when the service manager said he would use original OEM seals and gaskets I said "but they're the culprits that are causing all the problems." Sarcastically he said, so what do you want me to do. I said use all Fel Pro gaskets/seals since they resist the destructive qualities of DexCool. His answer, but that's going to cost you $75 more. So what compared to $3000 - 4000 in repairs. 80,000 miles later no problems, no lost coolant, GM should have paid for all gaskets and seals to be replaced on a recall. But sometimes the integrity of corporate giants gets lost. In this case what goes around comes around in bankruptcy.
