Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: The engine on this car failed. it has 115,000 miles. it was maintained from the start. we purchased it new. the intake manifold failed and leaked antifreeze throughout the motor. we had the manifolds, oxygen sensors, and catalytic converter replaced. we found out there was a tsb issued on this vehicle regarding the manifold problem. pontiac and the dealership were contacted. they both told us it's a common problem, but they'll do nothing. i'd understand given the mileage that this is not a new car, however, knowing there's a tsb issued on it, it seems they are failing to provide a good product to their customers.
