| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: intake manifold developed a crack or hole. coolant leaked into cylinders and oil causing engine not to run. repair cost over $900.00. this appears to be a known problem and buick did not offer to share any of the repair expense. the plastic manifold, was over $300 for the part, which should have not failed, or at least should have been cheap to replace since it was plastic. this is a long term know defect and buick should have recalled this and fixed it in the newer vehicles. *nlm |
