From: RE: 1999 Pontiac Grand AM - 64,000 miles - intake manifold leaking - told $ 750 cost to fix

I have a 1999 Pontiac Grand AM with 64,000 miles on it.The manifold intake gasket is leaking. I have been told it will cost me $750, to get it fixed.

I have also been told by at least 2 people who work for Pontiac, that they do 4-5 of this a week. Why has there not been a recall on this? These should not be leaking!!!!

I have owned many cars in my life and this has never been a problem, like this. SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE.

I am going to call the Pontiac REP. to see if I can get them to pay for this.
