Consumer Description

MY ALERO'S (2000 3.4 V6 60,000 MILES) COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED THE COOLANT AND ADDED WHAT WAS NEEDED. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER I NOTICED A POOL OF COOLANT ON MY DRIVEWAY. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET - APARENTLY A COMMON PORBLEM AND DESIGN FLAW BY GM IN A NUMBER OF THEIR VEHICLES. I HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM AS OF YET BECAUSE OF THE COST INVOLVED AND I AM NOT CURRENTLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL I CAN GET IT FIXED. I AM UNAWARE OF ANY OTHER PROBLEMS AS A RESULT OF THE GASKET AT THIS POINT - WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT GET FIXED.
