Just had to get the intake gasket replaced on my pontiac montana. This is happening after getting the head gaskets replaces 2 years and 26k miles ago. This is ridiculous how many problems I've had with this van. That's over $2,200 in repairs in two years.

First time I bought a car without reading the repairs and recalls. Bad choice. Lemon. Intake gasket leaking coolant is only one of $3K worth of repairs per dealer estimates. Seeking another opinion on cost. Never again will I buy a Pontiac.

Known GM defect, dealer never replied to complaint reported in writing. Repair at local shop, good since but not the only problem with this overpriced van. If you shop for a used one, ASK about the intake manifold gasket issue -- and have the engine inspected if the seller says no known issues (particularly if over 50k miles on odo).
