Pontiac Grand Am Engine And Engine Cooling Exhaust System Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe Safety Report | Aug 02, 2004
Reported on Aug 02, 2004
| THIS IS A SUBMISSION TO NOTE YET ANOTHER GENERAL MOTORS V6 ISSUE WITH FAILING INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS. MY PARTICULAR GASKET HAS A LEAK THAT IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, REQUIRING ME TO FILL COOLANT. AT THIS TIME, THE LEAK IS EXTERNAL ONLY AND HAS NOT LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENTS CONTAINING OIL. MY CAR IS A 2001 GRAND AM GT. MY WIFES CAR (2000 ALERO WITH THE V6 ALSO) HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND PUSHED US TO GET RID OF IT. I ONLY POSTED THIS AFTER KNOWING OF ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE HAD THIS EXPENSIVE PROBLEM. I ONLY WISH THAT EVERYONE COULD SUBMIT THE ISSUE ON HERE, ALLOWING THE NHTSA TO HAVE A BETTER IDEA AS TO THE SCOPE OF THIS POORLY DESIGNED (AND LATER FIXED) ENGINE GASKET.*AK | |
