Consumer Description

CHEVY GARAGE DISCOVERED AN INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET LEAK DURING ROUTINE MAINTANANCE WORK ON MY 2000 VENTURE AT 50,000 MILES. IT WOULD COST $900-PLUS TO FIX. THREE SEPARATE MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE AND THAT I COULD EXPECT TO HAVE IT DONE AGAIN IN THE NEXT TWO TO THREE YEARS. IT SEEMED COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT THIS COMPONENT WAS DUE TO FAIL IN A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, HOWEVER, CHEVY GARAGE TOLD ME THAT GENERAL MOTORS WAS NOT OFFERING ANY RECALLS OR DISCOUNTS ON THE SERVICE.
