1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass - 62,000 miles - repair - lower intake manifold gasket.
My 1999 olds Cutlass, had a leaking manifold intake gasket, which almost caused an accident in the liberty tunnel in pgh, due to overheating. There was no place to pull over. Several mechanics told me this is such a common problem with this gm engine, it should be under recall. Fortunately, I managed to get out of the tunnel and over the bridge before it caught fire, smoke was pouring out from under the hood. I had the problem fixed at my own expense of over $363.
While driving vehicle reached high temperatures due to cracked plastic intake manifold . Coolant went inside the engine. Dealer stated consumer needed to replace the intake manifold, and it would cost $700. 00.
The vehicle was taken to a mechanic for service and the mechanic stated the intake manifold gasket leaked.
While driving consumer smelled a burning smell within the cabin. Also, the coolant light flashed on/off. This was caused by the intake manifold leaking on both sides, and needed to be replaced, per dealership.
