| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: i have noticed my coolant level is down very often with the "low coolant" light coming on, as well. according to my gm dealer the lower intake manifold is leaking coolant from my 99 montana with about 60k miles. dealer has indicated the repair of this gasket to be over $700 which is outrageous. i have owned about 12 cars in my lifetime and not one has had a problem leaking coolant out around the intake manifold gasket. after reviewing other complaints on the nhtsa website, it is obviously a defect in this model engine and consumers should be reimbursed, if not fully, then partially for the repairs. a $700+ repair bill is way too much to expect the consumer to pay out for this defect. *ak |
