Consumer Description

PLASTIC UPPER INTAKE MANIFOLD WARPED, ALLOWING COOLANT TO LEAK (SUPPOSEDLY NOT INTO ENGINE). I BELIEVE A RECALL EXISTS FOR THE 3.8 LITER "GENERATION II" ENGINE IN OTHER APPLICATIONS, BUT NOT IN THE 2000 (AND LATER) CHEVROLET IMPALA. REPAIR WAS MADE AT MY EXPENSE (OUTSIDE WARRANTY PERIOD), BUT I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN GM'S RECALL.
