| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 1998 buick century custom that i purchased new. my husband and i take good care of our cars; always do all the recommended maintenance. in february, our intake manifold gasket was replaced due to a leak and the car only had 76,000 miles on it. this cost us over $900. my husband has searched the web and found hundreds, if not thousands of similar complaints from other buick and gm product owners. many are forming groups and filing petitions and class action law suits. my grandfather and uncle were car repairmen in the '70's. even back then, it was unheard of to have intake manifold gaskets replaced. this is clearly a defect that gm needs to own up to. please pursue gm through whatever channels you have to make them pay for this problem and fix it. i have heard of a few lucky folks who are getting reimbursed, it should be for all of us. *la |
