LOWER INTAKE GASKET FAILURE CAUSES NEAR COLLISION ON FREEWAY. WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A BUSY DAY MY COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON AND MY ENGINE STARTED PULSING STRANGELY. TRYING TO PULL INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE CAUSED SEVERAL CARS TO NEARLY SLAM INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR. THE PROBLEM WITH THE COOLANT WAS FOUND TO BE A COMMON FLAW IN THE LOWER INTAKE GASKET ON 3.4L (3400) GM ENGINES. AFTER INVESTIGATION, I'VE FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM YET GM IS DOING NOTHING TO ADDRESS IT.*AK

I HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING: HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS:SWITCH DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER :03V327000 FOR 2000 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES. I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE IT MY SELF. IS THERE A RECALL ON THE 1999 MODEL YEAR? IF NOT WHY NOT?*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED CONSUMER HEARD A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. DEALER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND REPLACED THE FRONT HUBS AND WHEEL BEARINGS. ALSO, VEHICLE USED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL AND COOLANT.*AK
