Type your detailed complaint here. Include the name of the company and the brand name of the product or service.

 

My 1999 PONTIAC Grand Am has a 3.4-V6 engine with 86,000 miles. The intake manifold gasket is leaking coolant into the engine and out on to the engine block. This is a very labor intensive repair at an estimated cost of $550.00. To me this is not a part that "wears out" but an Engineering flaw.

 

The dealer said they have seen "a few" with this problem. Why is the customer paying to correct a GM design flaw in a $20,000+ automobile.Several differant makes of GM vehicles use this engine and I wonder just how many others have had this repair done.
