Pontiac Grand Prix Engine And Engine Cooling Engine Safety Report | Feb 27, 2009
Reported on Feb 27, 2009
| AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN FOR A RECALL (NHTSA ID NUMBER 08V118000) I NOTICE THAT THE OIL LEAK THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING WOULD BE FIXED. WHEN THE OIL LEAK RETURNED, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO SEE IF THE REPAIR WAS NOT FIXED CORRECTLY. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE BACK VALVE COVER AND MANIFOLD WAS NOW LEAKING AND THE RECALL ONLY FIXED THE FRONT VALVE COVER. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE LEAK COULD CAUSE A FIRE SIMILAR TO THE ONE THAT WAS THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSE TO CORRECT. I INFORMED GM SUPPORT OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY STATED THAT UNLESS A RECALL WAS ISSUED, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE COST OF THE REPAIR ($1300). SINCE THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO OIL LEAKS SIMILAR TO RECALL, I THINK IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THANK YOU. *TR | |
