Defective intake manifold gasket on 1999 chevrolet venture minivan with 3.4 liter v-6 engine. intake manifold gasket leaked coolant into engine "gumming up" and caused engine to seize. stranded my wife and 3 kids. impact of seizing engine simulated a rear-end collision as described by my wife who was driving at the time.
Day of purchase, major engine failures replacement of nearly everything then some. continues to arc electrical sparks under the hood. electrical shorting of all components within the van internal engine issues not correctable just bandaiding fuel issues with oil coolant and arcing constitutes a fire and possibly death. i have all serviced repair documents if one should need to view them. *nm

Van fogs up all windows which makes it impossible for the driver to see out. defrost takes it off the windshield, mostly, but all other windows stay fogged over. air conditioner did not work correctly when van was purchsed, but the dealership claimed it did. i believe the air conditioner/defrost is all related. as such, the van has had a problem since the purchse date. the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem-had it in for service 8+ times. ed bozarth chevrolet refuses to see the van for this problem. *ak
