Pontiac Grand Prix Engine And Engine Cooling Safety Report | Apr 18, 2009
Reported on Apr 18, 2009
| THERE WAS A RECALL #ID#08V118000 CONCERNING THE FRONT ROCKER COVER GASKET AND EVENTUAL OIL SEEPAGE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE RECALL WAS ADDRESSED AND PARTS WERE REPLACED. SHORTLY AFTER THE RECALL I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE VALVE COVER GASKETS WERE LEAKING AND LATER VERIFIED THAT THE ROCKER COVER WAS THE SAME AS THE VALVE COVER. AFTER 3 OIL CHANGES (SCHEDULED) I WAS TOLD IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF AND THE COST WOULD BE 1,300.00. I ASKED THEM ABOUT THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL 2002 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. I CALLED PONTIAC AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS PART OF THE REVISION RECALL 09047 THAT ONLY COVERED THE SPARK PLUGS. I'M CONFUSED, I DON'T KNOW WHY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL, HOWEVER, WAS PART OF THE REVISION. IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM OR IS THERE ANY ASSISTANCE/ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE ME. THANK YOU. *TR | |
