    Cooling System

    Please briefly describe your complaint: i have a 2003 chevy malibu that has been leaking coolant since the day i have bought it. I have taken it numerous maniacs and they have all told me the same thing that my intake manifold gaskets were leaking coolant and that this isn't the first time they have seen this problem. These mechanics told me that the gaskets for this car and the manifold itself were not engineered…

    The intake manifold gasket on my 2003 chevy malibu had to be replaced since it was plastic. Has their been a recall on this part? If so, what forms need to be filled out to get proper refunding? *tr
