Pontiac Grand Prix Engine And Engine Cooling Safety Report | Sept 11, 2009
Reported on Sept 11, 2009
| I HAD MY 1998 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX WITH THE L67 SUPERCHARGED ENGINE SERVICED UNDER THE RECALL NOTICE LAST YEAR (NHTSA ID NUMBER 08V118000), BUT IT IS NOW LEAKING THE SAME WAY FROM THE REAR VALVE COVER, WITH THE SAME ATTENDANT SMOKE ON SHUTDOWN, AND I PRESUME, THE SAME FIRE HAZARD.. GM INFORMS ME THE RECALL ONLY EXTENDED TO THE FRONT VALVE COVER LEAKAGE, BUT ISN'T THIS THE SAME OR A RELATED ISSUE? SHOULD I EXPECT AN AMERICAN CAR TO BE AT RISK FROM BURSTING INTO FLAME THROUGH NORMAL USE? *TR | |
