Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I had to fix the leak 3 times. finally, my mechanic noticed the crack on the intake manifold. it is made of hard plastic! what in the world anyone would design such part in plastic? how can such material sustain extreme heat for long periods of time. i purchased new one and it is plastic again with a little improvement. but it is mostly plastic again. i believe this is service scam. you make parts to only last 4 years and make money from selling auto parts. the dealership person sold me the parts stated that he had sold 6 of them last week alone and he has it in stock all the time. you know the problem but failed to inform consumers. i want a satisfactory answer before buying another american car.
