MY COMPLAINT IS ON MY 1999 BUICK CENTURY. DECEMBER OF 2002 I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING DEX-COOL COOLANT. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME IT WAS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET AND IT WOULD COST AROUND $440.00. MY CAR ONLY HAD 59,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD. THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. VERY POOR JOB OF QUALITY IN THIS AREA BY GENERAL MOTORS/. *JB
