My car overheats and I was told that it is the intake manifold gasket. My car is not old enough for this to be a problem.

I have a 2005 Chevy Impala. The temperature light keeps coming on. I have took it to get fixed and they have bleed the radiator and it still keeps coming on. It makes you think the car is running hot. It also starts switching gears hard when it gets like this. It has been from the start hard to get in reverse, if parked on a hill.
