ON 8/20/2001 AT 46,208 MILES ON MY 1999 CHEV. MALIBU, COOLANT BEGAN TO LEAK FROM THE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. DEALERSHIP REPLACED GASKETS UNDER GMPP EXTENDED WARRANTY. NOW ON 3/12/04 AT 75,600 MILES, THE REPLACED GASKETS ARE LEAKING. AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR, I DISCOVERED THAT THE ORIGINAL FACTORY GASKETS ALONG WITH DEX-COOL COOLANT WERE DEFECTIVE. AT THE FIRST REPAIR, STILL DEFECTIVE GASKETS WERE USED TO MAKE THE REPAIR. AFTER THIS FIRST REPAIR, GM RELEASED A NEWLY REDESIGNED GASKET AND PROCEDURE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE ISSUE DUE TO THE NUMBER OF CONSUMERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME TROUBLE. THIS COULD BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD THE GASKETS COMPLETELY FAIL AND ALLOW COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE OIL. THIS WOULD CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING, POSSIBLE RESULTING IN A CRASH.*AK
