Consumer Description

THE CHEVY IMPALA HAD A LOSS OF COOLANT EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO LEAK ON THE GROUND. AFTER RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND THE FOLLOWING: "THE 3.8-LITER V6 MAY LEAK COOLANT INTO THE ENGINE FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. A NEW GASKET KIT, REVISED THROTTLE BODY NUTS, AND SEALING COMPOUND IS NEEDED." DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOUND ONLINE PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL CAR. *TR
