While driving the car, I lost power and had to pull over, upon checking under the hood, we came to the conclusion that the intake manifold (which is plastic) got to hot which caused antifreeze to leak out. I ended up having to have it towed to my house which is where it has set since.
There was a crack in the intake manifold, which caused anti-freeze to leak. Consumer was told that the intake manifold's plastic water jacket failed he was also told that the recall for this condition only covered police vehicles.
