| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Driving down road one day when car overheated. one mechanic replaced thermostat but continued to do same. took to another facility who ran diagnostic test and was told that it was the r & r intake manifold gasket. car is a 1999 buick century with only 46,191 miles. have been told the cost to fix problem is approx. $700. with all of the other identical problems of other owners why hasn't something been done with this problem? consumer should not have to foot the bill for gm's defective parts. there is obviously something wrong with the engine design. had a buick regal before this and it is still running with over 195,000 miles. no engine cooling system problem with it. *jb |
