Like the others I developed the intakes gasket leak. I took it to a shop and they told me there was NO LEAK! 2 weeks later I was bone dry! I took it to another shop and they found the leak. The mechanic said some AF had gotten into the oil but not much. I looked up the Dex-Cool settlement and I missed the deadline to file by 2 months. I am leaning toward selling the van ASAP and let someone else deal with the future headaches

Montana EXT 3.4L V6
Just bought a 03' Montana on 12/22/08 of a used car dealer here in Fresno Ca. their name is Auto College on blackstone and shaw. They saw me go in with my family ( that's what pisses me off the most) and I told them I was looking for something to replace my aging 98' dodge grand caravan. This 03 Montana caught my eye because it was priced at $5000. I told them I was looking for something dependable for my wife and kids and they assured me thats all they sell. I bought the van and declined the warranty because it was going to cost $500 extra so I said no thanks since you guys only sell dependable cars. Today on 12/25/08 we are driving down the freeway and the temperature starts going up, my blood pressure immediately goes up (remember...dependable cars!!!) we barely get home and I pop the hood and I hear a hissing and noticed there is coolant under the intake. They knew about this problem, that's way they made sign all of this release of liability forms and disclosures. I jump on the web and get acquainted the GM 3.4 intake gasket problems, lucky me.
