This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

I have a 1999 chev Malibu and yes the intake manifold is failing. I have had this replaced by the dealer twice. GM apparently knows about this problem for using shotty parts and they refuse to step up and fix it. I am formally complaining to the BBB GM itself and anyone else I can think of. GM Chevy stands for junk
While traveling on highway and without prior warning brakes went out. Master cylinder broke/ intake gasket failed, and oil and coolant had mixed together.
The manfold intake gasket started leaking anti-freeze and I was told I had to pay for it to be replaced. GMC is aware that it is a problem and have a technical bulletin on it. They are aware that this is a problem but have failed to do anything about it. I feel that there should be a recall placed on the vehicles and anyone who has paid for the vehicle to be repaired should get reimbursed for the repairs as well as the rental.
Bought this car with 23,000 miles on it in Jan. 2000. Within a few months, brakes started vibrating bad ly when applied at high speeds. Dealer said faulty, warped rotors and replaced them free B/C it was a manufacturer's defect. Few months later, April 2001, they did it again. Took back to dealer, they refaced the faulty rotors, put new pads in, charged me $300. In Jan. 2002 brakes did it again. Dealer gave me the runaround and wouldn't do it free, so I got good rotors and pads at parts store for $120 and did it myself. Also intake gasket leaks antifreeze. Chevy needs to do something about brakes and I want $420 back from them.
