In 11/05, at approximately 43k miles, my 2003 Buick Rendezvous cxl required a new intake gasket & thermostat after the vehicle rapidly lost all of its engine coolant and I was forced to make an emergency stop. This was a certified used gm vehicle, but the warranty expired at 39k miles so I incurred at $700+ repair bill. Now, at 59k miles, I am having a similar problem; the engine coolant overheated, also leading to an emergency stop and towing, and the repair shop says that the same intake gasket has failed again.
