The class covers three different groups of GM vehicles which suffered from engine damage caused by the use of Dexcool engine coolant.  Repairs involving intake manifold gasket failures, engine coolant sealing issues, and sludge (a rust-like material) are covered by this proposed settlement. These repairs would likely involve parts like the intake manifold and/or manifold gaskets, throttle body gaskets, radiator cap, heater core, water pump and other parts of the cooling system.

A class action lawsuit (Robert Lubitz, et al. v. DaimlerChrysler Corp. (the “Lawsuit”)), is pending in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division: Bergen County (the “Court”), Case No. BER-L-4883-04, on behalf of all persons in the United States, who bought or leased a Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicle, model years 1999-2004, between May 1, 1998 and the present, excluding fleet and governmental purchasers and lessees (the “Settlement Class Members”). The Court has granted final approval to a settlement of the claims made in the Lawsuit (the "Settlement").
