| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The sevice engine light came on and within a day or two my car kept needing coolant. i scheduled an appointment with a buick dealer but the next day the car wouldn't start. i had it towed to the dealer and within hours of getting there i was told there was an upper and lower internal manifold leak. the service person told me that he was familiar with the problem but would not say it was a design flaw. why would a dealer carry a manifold that is a non-moving part but a cast piece of iron if this was not continual problem? i work in a foundry for caterpillar that makes cast blocks and heads and was told by an engineer this is a bad design.*ak |
