How about this one, this is a ongoing problem with the Chevy Malibu 3100 Engine, the coolant company was only taking claims on this problem until Oct. 28th 2008, This problem will live on for ever. My neighbor has had to replace the gasket for a second time. Mine is the first, and the biggest beef is I had a Extended warranty, I was made aware of this problem when I purchase the vehicle used, Our mechanic at work made me aware of this issue, But here is the kicker. The warranty company has filed bankruptcy and guess who is stuck holding the bag. If any one has any information for filing a class action with Gm or extending the class action against the coolant company please let me know. A note to everyone, if you can afford the extended warranty, do not buy it from a outside company, only buy you warranty from the big 3, If they can make it out of this crappy economy.
