I have a Chevrolet Venture 1999 that has had an intake gasket leak. I have researched this problem on the internet and there have been many similar problems. Many service technicians have also stated that gm has had a problem with intake gaskets. Gm should recall all vehicles affected and pay repair bills on all others already fixed.
Intake gasket leaks.
Has 3. 4 l engine with lower intake gasket leaks. I purchased an extended warranty when new and it covered the $700+ repair cost. Will this happen again in another 48k when out of my extended warranty?.
My 1999 Chevrolet Venture van experienced a problem with the intake gaskets leaking and thus causing the camshaft to snap in two while the car was being driven at 40 mph. This caused a immediate engine shutdown and loss of power steering and brakes. Had there been anyone behind me, I would most certainly been injured, as would anyone who would be sitting behind me. This is a serious safety matter and should be addressed accordingly. Ts.
