problem #2

Feb 112007

Impala 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,000 miles
The battery on my 2001 Chevy Impala was dead, so I put a battery charger on the battery and when I went to start the car, nothing happened. I waited 2-4 minutes for the battery to charge and tried to start it again. As soon as I turned the key, the intake manifold exploded into about 10 pieces throughout my garage. Luckily no one was hurt. I had the car towed to the local GM dealership today and am still waiting to hear from them.
