Consumer Description

2002 CHEVROLET VENTURE VAN WITH 77,000 MILES- FAILURE OF INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. I NOTICED ANTI FREEZE SMELL EVERYTIME I SHUT OFF VEHICLE. THIS HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. I HAD LOCAL SERVICE STATION CHECK IT OUT AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET IS LEAKING WATER AND LEAKING INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET VEHICLES. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT BEING STARTED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T CHEVROLET DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS IF IT IS TRUE. SUPPOSEDLY THERE WAS AN ARTICLE IN THE NATIONAL PETROLEUM INSTITUTE MAGAZINE CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM, ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN SUPPLY WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I HAVE HAD ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE DONE ON THIS VEHICLE. I AM HAVING THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS REPLACED NEXT WEEK BEFORE THE WATER GETS INTO THE OIL AND I HAVE A MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE. COST OF THIS JOB WILL BE APPROXIMATELY $ 500.00. *TR
