| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: After noticing a few drops of dexcool coolant on the garage floor, i checked the reservoir. it was empty. i checked for leaky hoses or clamps, then noticed that around some gasket i could see where coolant was obviously oozing and some had pooled in a recess in the engine mold. anyway, i refilled the reservoir with dexcool and took the car to a local repair shop before doing any damage. the repair bill came to over $900. the car is only 5 years old and it needs a new intake manifold gasket, how absurd. after surfing the web, i find that others have had fires and blown engines from the same problem. we were lucky, but my wife and daughter travel the local highways alot, what if they ran out of coolant while driving and the engine siezed, possibly causing an accident or at least stranding them.
