What owners wrote
Intake manifold on 3.4l sfi v6 engine on grand am's have severe problem - lets water out of the system very fast, will let a full tank of coolant out in less than 1 hour of driving time. This causes driver to be stranded, also an environmental issue with coolant leaking everywhere. This has caused my engine to be on fire, and the repairs are extensive. Mechanics know this problem all too well, everyone I have been to has had to fix it multiple times.
I have replaced the intake manifold gasket twice on my 2000 pontiac grand am. Once in 02/2002 and again in 01/2004.
