The vehicle was parked for 9 hours with the engine off before the vehicle caught on fire. The fire department determined the fire started from the engine. Please provide any additional information.
Intake manifold leaks can lead to any number of very serious, and expensive, problems. While the part itself isn't costly, the labor to repair it is very intensive, and has been quoted around $800 usd (give or take a couple hundred depending on the vehicle). This is in addition to any other costly problem(s) the intake manifold gasket leak may have produced. We are demanding accountability from general motors. A nationwide backorder should be reason enough for GM to assemble a recall.
