Noticed my son's 1999 olds Alero was using excessive antifreeze, took to shop & had to have defective intake gasket replaced as antifreeze was being sucked into the engine. Repair shop reports that they are repairing same problem on 3 gm cars per week in this town of 25,000 people. Cost $ 650 to repair; gm should recall this vehicle & similar models and replace these defective gaskets, we were lucky that we did not ruin the engine on this car. We had to get the car repaired immediately as my son did not have any other vehicle to drive to work while the Alero was being repaired and really could not afford this expensive repair on this car. Repair shop advised that gm is not recalling this part or paying for the repairs even though they are aware of the problem and that it is the fault of a defective gasket and not the car owners fault.

Lower intake gasket failure causes near collision on freeway. While I was driving home on a busy day my coolant light came on and my engine started pulsing strangely. Trying to pull into the emergency lane caused several cars to nearly slam into the back of my car. The problem with the coolant was found to be a common flaw in the lower intake gasket on 3. 4l (3400) gm engines. After investigation, I've found that many people are experiencing this problem yet gm is doing nothing to address it.

My car had something go wrong with the intake gaskets to where the plastic melted to the engine, the car had to be taken in for several days and the engine had to be taken out and cleaned and all of the intake gaskets were replaced. The car still does not run properly, when attempting to pick up speed or climb a hill the car does not shift and at times looses speed. This continues to this day, the dealer states nothing is wrong. The gas needle will read full and then the car will run out of gas this has happened on the middle of the highway leaving me stranded and several times around town. The dealer stated that they replaced the gas sensors. The car still does not run properly with less than half a tank of gas. The defroster, air conditioner and heat still after several trips in do not heat up or cool down the car. One day I had started the car half an hour before leaving and on the way to work the windshield froze up, the defrost had been and still was on high.
