I have a 2001 chevy Malibu with a 3. 1 liter engine and I have had to replace the intake gasket once because it leaked oil into the antifreeze and antifreeze into the oil. It was a problem that I did not know existed with this motor? I found out a short time later that the damage was extensive and had to put a motor with 30,000 miles into my car. That was 1year ago last August and as of today September 5th I have the same problem with this motor and I'm going to have to replace the intake gasket again. How can I get this replaced at general motors cost, rather than mine again? I know of many others that have the same problem that I do.
When driving vehicle randomly cuts off, it loses steering power. Also, engine leaks oil. Consumer has contacted dealer. Please provide any further information.
