| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1997 grand prix with a 3.8 liter v6 that has a leaking intake manifold which i have been told is a common problem. the car leaks about a quart of coolant a month and i have been told that it is going to get worse quickly if i don't have it repaired. it is my understanding that loss of coolant could lead to complete engine failure. doing some research, i see there are numerous complaints on this issue. it is a very expensive repair that is required due to a design flaw rather than what i would consider wear. |
