Question for an auto tech..
My Daughters car burned yesterday, lit after she parked Thank God. Im now considering a Chevy with the 3.8 V6 engine. I read a testimonial that stated it had plastic intake gaskets that fail & leak antifreeze into the engine. Other testimonials said it was great.. Any info would be helpful Thanks.
GM Plastic intake manifold
Here is some info on issues with the plastic intake manifold used on the GM 3.8L V6.

Look for the Here in Orlando there is a local mechanic that has 25+ year shop (The Magic Mechanic) and a 20+ year old radio show and he has seen many issues with these GM
V6 plastic manifolds. When they fail they leak coolant into the engine require replacement og the manifold with an updated version.
Another example of cost cutting and Beta testing at the expense of the cinsumer.
