Consumer Description

LEAKING INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET LEAK. LEAKING COOLANT. REPAIR ESTIMATED TO BE $800 BY ELCO CHEVROLET IN BALLWIN, MISSOURI. WE DISCOVERED THROUGH RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND TALKING TO MECHANICS AT A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR FRANCHISE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY VENTURE VANS. WE ARE LOOKING FOR RELIEF FROM GM-THIS IS NOT THE FIRST PROBLEM WE HAVE HAD WITH COOLANT LEAKS IN THE VAN AND ARE NOW WONDERING IF THIS PROBLEM WAS UNDETECTED AND WE HAVE BEEN REPAIRING OTHER ITEMS NEEDLESSLY (WATER PUMP, ETC.) WHEN THIS WAS THE TRUE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE ENGINE ON THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM.
