| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had the coolant flushed one month ago at the local dealer. driving on the freeway near home, the low coolant light came on. no indication on temperature gauge that coolant temp ever exceeded even halfway through the normal range. the next morning, the van runs rough and has a light coolant smell from the exhaust. took it to dealer for diagnosis. dealer said that the intake manifold gaskets failed allowing the van to overheat and blow the head gaskets. repair estimate is $2500 and with only 88k miles on the van. this is the second time that the intake manifold gaskets have failed. first time the intake gaskets failed was at 45k miles right after i bought it. there was no overheat or head gasket failure on the first incidence. *jb |
