Consumer Description

THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES ON THIS CAR. WE ARE STILL HAVING ENGINE COOLING PROBLEMS. IT IS IN THE SHOP AS WE SPEAK. NOW THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE HEAD GASKETS DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE OVERFLOW. THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS I HAVE FOUND IN REGARDS TO THIS MODEL. WHY ISN'T ANYONE CONTACTING THE CHEVY TO GET THIS DESIGN FLAW CORRECTED AND COMPENSATION FOR THE AFFECTED CONSUMERS WHO WERE UNFORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BUY THIS PARTICULAR MODEL? *JB
