Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2000 pontiac montana with a 3.4 liter engine. i had the intake manifold gasket replaced in january of 2003 because the coolant was leaking out. it cost about $600 to do this. i recently changed the oil on february 29, 2004 and noticed coolant in the oil again. i am now working with the mechanic again to fix the problem. apparently there is a quality control problem at gm regarding their manifold gaskets. i know other people with the same problem. a friend of mine owns a 2003 grand am with a 3.4 liter and they had to have their intake manifold gasket replaced twice. my brothers rich and steve also owned gm trucks that needed the intake gaskets replaced.*ak
