Intake gasket failure. I noticed that the antifreeze in my vehicle was often low, so I took the vehicle to get diagnosed. The mechanic told me that I need to get the intake gasket replaced and that this was a common problem on Impala's. He stated that all of these vehicles will need to have the gasket replaced and that gm is aware that this is a problem, but since they haven't been forced to recall the vehicles, then they're going to replace the gaskets. This is quite an expensive repair and I can't afford to costs at this time. I contacted gm for assistance and they stated that the mileage on my car prevents me from being able to be assisted. I'm not sure why this issue hasn't made it as a recall because the cars will overheat and isn't something you normally expect to need to get fixed on a car.
