Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At 63000 miles my 3.4 l engine began leaking coolant at the intake manifold. my mechanic and two others told me that this is typical of 3.1 and 3.4 l gm engines and that the company realizes that it has a design flaw because the replacement gasket has been re-engineered and the replacement bolts. the repair was done at a non gm repair shop and cost me $796.22 *jb
