Dealer says lower intake manifold leaking. Repaired at 61,549 mi. Dealer says lower intake coolant bypass is leaking, as is, the valve cover gaskets. Claims there have been engine fires and that GM has a recall, but not a remedy for the problem, as of yet. Repaired gaskets at 78,892 mi., total cost for both $1,600. 1. one would think after building cars for 50 yrs. That a head gasket could last 200,000 mi. 2. my gasket lasted 17,000 miles between repairs. The leaking gaskets are a direct cause of the engine fires. The oil leaks down on top of the exhaust manifold and bingo, "fire". they say they have to come up with a better heat shield "duh". I bought the car based on consumer reports. I've had other problems too. I just wonder if GM will step up and reimburse me.
