My 2001 Montana's intake gasket went with just 38000 kms on it!!!!! Did all the regular maintenance on it and the dealer wasn't surprised that the gasket was gone, but denied there was a common issue like that at the time. The bottom line is the dealer knew that this was a common defect and GM did too prior to 2001. If you took you vehical in to get the gasket work done and the vehical didn't display and problems with the gasket yet it wouldn't have been fixxed under warranty because the problem didn't YET exist. I got the one year extended warranty on my Van and the gasket went just one month shy of the extended warranty running out.

I work for GM and honestly can't believe that they didn't issue a recall on such a common and known issue.

Shame on you GM!

I hope this fella wins this one.
