| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving a 100 miles from home the car overheated & had to be towed. we found that the problem was due to a hole in the air plenum in the upper intake manifold. we have found that there are over 20 such cases in our small community alone. all on 3800 motors in pontiac's. this is a four hundred dollar repair bill that occurred only because pontiac decided to use plastic in their part which in turn melted & caused our motor to overheat. i hope that pontiac will recall these plenums & reimburse us for the cost of repairing & towing our car. if pontiac would call their dealers they would find out just how many of these parts have malfunctioned. *jb |
