Consumer Description

THE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET LEAKED TWICE WITHIN 45,000 MILES, HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE SERVICED TWICE FOR THIS INTAKE ISSUE, WHICH INVOLVED MISSING WORK. BAD ENOUGH I CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIRS, BUT THEN I HAVE TO MISS WORK AS WELL. LOW COOLANT LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY AND VEHICLE OVER HEATS. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED, RADIATOR REPLACED, WATER PUMP REPLACED AND HAVEN'T ONLY OWNED THE CARE FOR 3 YEARS. I AM REBUILDING THE ENTIRE CAR! I'VE OWNED 7 CHEVY CARS BUT NONE AS BAD AS THIS. I WILL NEVER,EVER,EVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY. *TR
