On 8/20/2001 at 46,208 miles on my 1999 chev. Malibu, coolant began to leak from the lower intake manifold gasket. Dealership replaced gaskets under gmpp extended warranty. Now on 3/12/04 at 75,600 miles, the replaced gaskets are leaking. After the first repair, I discovered that the original factory gaskets along with dex-cool coolant were defective. At the first repair, still defective gaskets were used to make the repair. After this first repair, GM released a newly redesigned gasket and procedure to address this issue. I feel that there needs to be a recall on the issue due to the number of consumers who are experiencing this same trouble. This could become a safety issue should the gaskets completely fail and allow coolant to mix with the oil. This would cause engine failure while driving, possible resulting in a crash.

Car had a knocking in the motor. Took to dealer to get fixed, they have not fixed the problem in the last 2 tries. They first said that it was my fault for not taking car of motor. Oil changes have been made every 3-4 months or 3 thousand miles. They first replaced the lifters, 2nd time it went in they replaced the timing chain and gears. Now up to date they have had the car for 2 weeks and they have done nothing with it do to the fact they are waiting for the warranty place to say that they can put a new motor in. They are now saying that they are going to put a used motor in that has 42000 miles on it. Till this date they will not tell me what is wrong with the car and they will also not let me see the motor it self since they have had it for 2 weeks and every thing that is connected to the motor is out of the car except the block. I personally take care of heavy equipment in the job that I do which has a $ amount around 350,000 dallors and I do oil changes, and any minnor fixing problems. It blows me away that they tell me they can not find the problem to a vehicle that I bought from them. It may sound like a piston or a rode that has gone bad.
