Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Chevrolet malibu intake manifold gaskets" begins to leak anywhere around 80,000 miles of driving. this causes the car to leak coolant, to overheat, and motor will lock, burn out. this car was not even 5 years old, and i have spoken to other malibu owners who had this work done of their cars costing $500.00 to $700.00 i felt as though the manufacturer needed to improve this gasket and replace the cars that already had this defective part. *ak
