Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Engine stalling and under performing due to manifold gasket leaking coolant into engine. my wife was entering a main road from our sub-division driving our chevrolet venture '98 when the engine started running roughly and sputtering. this could have been fatal with the oncoming traffic. this problem was due to a leak of coolant i believe into the engine. it seems gm is aware of the problem but has not notified owners of the vans. at the least they should be making consumers aware of the problem and the fact that engine failure could occur during critical times.*ak
