Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had to replace the intake manifold gasket twice on the car already. the last repair was in march of 2004. it is only three months from the last replacement, and it is leaking anti freeze again. i would repair the car, but apparently it is not going to do any good. each repair was over four hundred dollars. there has got to be some kind of major defect with this part. i have only owned the car for four years and it only has 81,000 miles on it, and yet this is the third time the gasket has failed.*ak
