Consumer Description

THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS DETERIORATED AND STARTED LEAKING ON MY 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS AND ON MY 1997 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON MY MOTHER'S 1997 CHEVROLET MALIBU. ALL OF THE VEHICLES CITED HAD LESS THAN A 100K MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE BUICK BEING THE LATEST VICTIM HAD 67K WHEN IT WAS DISCOVERED. THE GASKET FAILURE COULD RESULT IN SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE AND POTENTIAL FIRE. *NM
