Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Engine developed a coolant leak due to a split in the plastic intake manifold. recall 97m91 which is only good for 7 years from the start of the original warranty was up 2 days prior to incident. fomoco and dealer wouldn't cover, to bad for me. recall doesn't cover replacement unless it is leaking within that 7 years. design has been changed to an aluminum crossover that hopefully wont split and costs approx $800 to fix. *jb
