Pontiac Bonneville Fuel System, Gasoline Carburetor System Safety Report | May 14, 2001
Reported on May 14, 2001
| UPPER INTAKE PLENTUM FAILED, CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK INTERNALLY INTO THE ENGINE, THIS CAUSED SOME CYLINDERS TO SHUT DOWN AND THE CAR TO RUN ROUGH. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING TO THIS VEHICLE AT VARIOUS MILEAGES. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT PART OF THIS ASSEMBLY WAS MADE OF PLASTIC RATHER THAN CAST METAL AND THIS COULD BE CAUSE FOR FAILURE DUE TO EXPOSURE TO HIGH TEMPURATURES. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT FAR AWAY FROM HOME WHEN THIS ENGINE FAILURE OCCURRED. *AK | |
