“Had a vibration in vehicle. I thought it was a wheel out of balance. Had tires balanced the day of engine failure. Still had vibration. Engine ran rough then quit. Checked engine compartment, realized had no coolant. Engine had siezed. Would not crank. Mechanic removed spark plugs and coolant drained from all combustion chambers. I did design work on this product at GM and asked an aquanitance about engine problems. He said that GM had the EGR gas temperature too high and this was causing the plastic intakes to fail. …”
