I was experiencing loss of coolant. Found out the problem was faulty intake manifold /gasket. Cost of repair $700. Went on line and found a site with over 1,000 people with same problem. Mechanics are saying it is a problem with all gm engines. They should all be recalled. Hopefully, I caught mine in time. Hundreds didn't and their engine blew. Mechanic said had I taken this out on the highway with the leak my engine would have failed. This is a serious and expensive problem and is affecting millions. Something has to be done!! dt.

I have become aware of a problem with the intake manifold gaskets on the chevy Venture. A friend of mine had this problem, and after researching on the internet. I have become aware of a potential problem with this part, which is a major repair. On several internet forums, people have stated that a few dealers have fixed the problem under the waranty clause , even though the waranty has expired. This problem was present when I bought the van. I as of now have not expericed this problem, however, I would like your department to look into this. I still owe $2000 on my Venture, and would hate to have to incurr a repair bill, for something that existed when I purchased the van. Thank you for anything that you may be able to do. I am going to call the dealership to inquire about this potential problem. Dt.
