1998 Buick Skylark Engine problems

Manifold gasket failed, leaking coolant into engine oil. *Tr

We drove from home to olathe, ks and back to a kohl's at shawnee station on our way home. We parked the buick and when I tried to start the buick it failed to start. I thought it might be the battery. I waited a few minutes and tried to start the buick. The buick started but white smoke come out of the tailpipe and it began to shake tremendously like we were in a big storm. We had the buick towed to firestone and they said the air manifold rings let the anti-freeze up the motor and the shaking caused oil to leak. We were fortunate that this didn't happen somewhere else. *Jb

Faulty design of intake manifold on gm 3.8L engine used in 1998 thru 2004 engine. Plastic housing melts enough after 80,000 to allow engine coolant into the combustion chamber causing engine to hydrolock without warning. Car becomes immediately undrivable. *Jb

Coolant leaked into cylinders causing engine to lock up compromising steering and breaks. Internal seal gave way near upper intake manifold. Service bulletin # 010601007..Area rep states too any miles on car for them to be concerned.

Consumer's vehicle will stall while traveling at any speed. When engine is warm and has been running, it is more likely to shut off. Dealership cannot determine cause of defect. Please provide any additional information/attachments. *Ak
