 "Dear Mr. Williams, Thank you for your email.  Unfortunately, the deadline to submit a timely claim in this settlement has passed as of October 27, 2008.  We are no longer able to issue claim forms or accept online claims past this point.  Per the terms of the settlement, a wide range of actions were taken to inform class members of the action and their legal options regarding participation.  These include, but wer not limited to, publication in prominet periodicals, the creation of a website with information about the case (www.dexcoolsettlement.com), the creation of a toll-free line with information about the case, and mailings of claim forms and notices to probable class member based on the records provided by General Motors.  The court reviewed these measures and deemed them fair and adequate in the final approval hearing.  If you have any further questions or need a claim form, please contact us toll free at 1-888-404-8013 between 8:30 and 5:00 pst (Monday through Friday).  Sincerely Claims Administrator

Whats wrong with this response?  One they still tell me to call regarding further questions or the need for a claim form.  Number two, they said enough was done to notify us through mass media and web-sites.  Well then why still have so many of us failed to meet the deadline claim date and still write forums for help on this problem.  Three, and they left to GM to notify us, please there was no desire to notify us.  They would go bankrupt.  Four, and most importantly this left more money for the lawyers, minimum of 16.5 million to not exceed 24.7 million.  And best of all the settlement states GM is not to blame for this problem.  And no new claims can be made saving their asses from the rest of us.  As far as I'm concerned the lawyers are just as bad as GM.  They were not looking out for us the consumer's just themselves.
