| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: At 95,000 miles, my 2001 pontiac montana van began to leak water and i took it to a local mechanic. he informed me that the intake manifold gasket was leaking and that it needed to be replaced or that it would damage the engine permanently. in order to verify the problem, i took it to the local pontiac dealer and the diagnosis was confirmed. both garages told me that they had repaired the same problem on many of the same engines that were used in chevrolets, pontiacs and oldsmobiles. the cost of the repair was in excess of $830. if these are inherent problems with these engines, why hasn't gm issued a recall? i repaired the same problem with my 1997 pontiac transport montana twice. when are they going to stand behind their product and repair the flawed design? *jb |
