Consumer Description

CAR BEGAN TO SHOW STEAM UNDER HOOD. TEMPERATURE INDICATOR WAS MAXIMUM. AFTER CHECKING UNDER THE HOOD,THE ANTI-FREEZE OVER-FLOW WAS EMPTY. I FILLED WITH WATER AND CONTINUED HOME. I CALLED MY MECHANIC AND HE SENT A WRECKER TO TOW THE CAR. AFTER INSPECTION, HE NOTIFIED THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAD SPLIT. HE INDICATED THERE MIGHT BE A RECALL ON THE MANIFOLD AS THE REPLACEMENT WAS METAL INSTEAD OF PLASTIC. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HE SAID NO RECALL. *JB
