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.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I have two GMC vehicles with the same engine, a gas 5.7L V8, that required intake manifold gasket replacement within one month of each other. The first vehicle is a 1996 1500 Suburban with 90,000 miles. The other is a 1998 K1500 pickup with 80,000 miles. Both leaks occurred at the rear of the bottom intake manifold. The mechanic performing the repair states this is a very common problem with his shop performing approximately 5-6 a month in a town of only 30,000. The dealer denies any generic problem. Inspection of the gasket implies a temperature related problem of the gasket body that undermines the seal ridge.
