Consumer was traveling about 55mph on highway, climbing up a hill and going up a mountain, and without prior notice there was white smoke coming from underneath vehicle. Transmission coolant was leaking from underneath. Vehicle was taken to a gasoline station, and mechanic told him that intake manifold in engine was made from plastic and causing the problem. Intake manifold split open.
