| Add coolant light came on while driving on the interstate. pulled over at exit and added coolant. coolant did not stay in the reservoir and had to be added regularly. small areas of coolant were noticed under the vehicle where it was parked in the driveway. vehicle was taken in to be checked at local garage and mechanic found leaking intake manifold. the intake manifold area was inspected and the leaking gasket was found and replaced. the gasket appeared to have deteriorated in a way that would not be expected. the mechanic was asked if there had been a service bulletin about this problem. he said that there was not one, though he was well aware of this problem in many gm vehicles that used that particular gasket between certain years. i believe 1996-1999 were the years mentioned.*ak | |||

| I have had this vehicle since 3/99. in which time i have had to bring it back for transmission problems, electrical problems, leaking fuel injectors, brakes, non working cruise control which led to the dealer replacing the compressor. front end leaked anti freeze which led to another major job. i am not a happy motorist here. the steering column squeeked. they greased it. turned out there was a problem with the rackinpinion. i know something about cars and i know that for the amount i pay for this vehicle, i shouldn't be having these major problems. bandade fixes don't cut it with me. nlm | |||
