| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I received a recall repair for my 2002 pontiac bonneville-campaign #03034. if i had replaced the upper intake manifold gasket, throttle body nuts, or throttle body gasket before august 8, 2003, i would have been eligible for reimbursement. since i only had owned the car for 1 year at that time and had not replaced these items, i had a recall repair done on 11-10-03. i mentioned at the time that when i come into my garage, i could smell hot coolant. the shop followed the instructions of the recall repair to replace the throttle body nuts and added something similar to a "stop leak". we tried at that time to get a better "fix" to properly repair possible problem, but this is all shop would do. now, after my warranty is over, i was told that i need to replace my upper intake gasket kit since the intake manifold gasket is leaking coolant externally. *jb |
