| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I'm writing you this letter since gm has refused to acknowledge they have a factory defect in the intake manifold gasket and bolts of may of their gm vehicles.: to include my 2000 chev venture. recently while on a long trip over the holidays i noticed the low coolant light had illuminated and discovered our coolant was leaking. i took it to the shop today and it cost me $895 for the repair...not bad compared to some but still a cost one wouldn't expect to pay on a car only 3.5 years old and 70k miles. my wife and i have done some extensive research and found this seems to be a significant problem with gm cars but yet there is no recall for the problem. the result of these gasket failures is clearly a design flaw and we've n documentation where your company is paying for other models manifold repair cost. looking over this site and others dedicated to this problem i've found numerous other stories similar and many even worse. i find it hard to believe gm is not stepping up to fix the cost of these repairs....they will lose my business. *jb |
