Pontiac Bonneville Engine And Engine Cooling Safety Report | Nov 20, 2004
Reported on Nov 20, 2004
| ONE NUT AND BOLT ON EACH SIDE OF INNER PANEL UNDER THE HOOD IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT WERE LOOSE. I TIGHTENED ABOUT 4 TO 5 TURNS ON NUT (USED 18MM OPEN END WRENCH). AFTER THIS TOOK IT TO DEALER-SHIP TO KNOW WHAT THIS TWO BOLT DOES ? DEALER-SHIP TECHNICIAN SAID THOSE ARE THE BOLTS FOR FRONT MOTOR MOUNT AND REAR TRANSMISSION MOUNT. MY CONCERN IS THAT THOSE BOLTS MIGHT BE STARTED TO DAMAGE IN 4 YEAR OF VEHICLE LIFE(POSSIBLE SHEAR AT THE INNER PANEL IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT). DEALER AGREED TO ORDER THIS PART BUT WAITING FOR ANSWER FROM PONTIAC. THERE MIGHT BE MORE CONSUMER OUT THERE WHO MIGHT HAVE SAME PROBLEM, BECAUSE IT IS NOT VISIBLE UNTIL YOU CHECK REAL CLOSE. I CALLED PONTIAC CONSUMER CENTER BUT THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND I HAVE TO PAID FOR THE PARTS. WHY CONSUMER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECT LEFT FROM MANUFACTURER.*AK | |
