| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This complaint is directed at potential safety issue concerning vehicles using the gmc v6 engine. in my case, with a 1999 chevrolet venture, a poorly designed intake manifold gasket caused the dex-cool coolant to leak into the engine. this coolant is corrosive and will lead to catastrophic engine failure. the problem is especially serious since the leak cannot be easily detected due to its internal nature. a brief investigation on the internet found well over 5,000 other persons reporting the same failure. gm has refused to issue a recall on this problem, but should do so immediately.*ak |
