Pontiac Montana Engine And Engine Cooling Exhaust System Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe Safety Report | Jan 31, 2003
Reported on Jan 31, 2003
| I HAVE A 2000 PONTIAC MONTANA WITH A 3.4 LITER ENGINE. I HAD THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED IN JANUARY OF 2003 BECAUSE THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING OUT. IT COST ABOUT $600 TO DO THIS. I RECENTLY CHANGED THE OIL ON FEBRUARY 29, 2004 AND NOTICED COOLANT IN THE OIL AGAIN. I AM NOW WORKING WITH THE MECHANIC AGAIN TO FIX THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THERE IS A QUALITY CONTROL PROBLEM AT GM REGARDING THEIR MANIFOLD GASKETS. I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. A FRIEND OF MINE OWNS A 2003 GRAND AM WITH A 3.4 LITER AND THEY HAD TO HAVE THEIR INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED TWICE. MY BROTHERS RICH AND STEVE ALSO OWNED GM TRUCKS THAT NEEDED THE INTAKE GASKETS REPLACED.*AK | |
