problem #3

Jul 292008

Malibu 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 98,932 miles

this is the 2nd time I've had to fix this problem since I've had the car. there should be no reason why the gaskets and manifold should go bad. I've owned nothing but Chevy cars and this has never happened before. i hope that Chevy does something about these issues. they should have to somehow reimburse it's loyal customers

Malibu 4DR- V6

  • 53,000 miles

The mechanic told me if I didn't fix it, coolant would continue to leak and mix in with the oil, which is bad i suppose. Also, after paying approx $700 to replace the intake manifold, I had to pay another $100 for a coolant flush and new coolant. Thanks Chevy!
