Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1998 buick lesabre. plenum gasket on the intake manifold fails and allows coolant to get into engine. then engine dies in the road causing people to slam on breaks. no wrecks. this is a well know problem with lesabre's but buick has failed to correct the problem. i had to pay $1200 to fix car and it now probably has engine damage. i would like buick to come forward with this and let people know about it. this has to stop! *nm
